I never knew how generous you all could be. I’m up to $240 for Relay For Life, almost half way to my goal. Thanks to Michelle K, Mary Mc. Jan H. Sophie B. Peggy K. Bev W. Anita and Stephanie W. for your donations. For the new blog readers. I’m am raising funds for this weekend’s Relay For Life. You may donate to my personal donation page until Friday night. I will draw on Saturday.
For each $10 you donate you will get your name entered in a drawing ie. if you donate $10 you get one entry, $20 you get two etc. The winner will receive 2 pair of hand crafted socks. I will knit the winner’s socks to her specifications: color and shoe size on my Legare sock machine. Thank you to all who have donated to date. You ROCK!

I never knew how much I’d miss my digital camera. I was reluctant to purchase one a couple of years ago because I thought it was just an over priced toy. But since I’ve been without it for about 6 weeks, It’s driving me crazy. My front garden has never looked so good. That 80+ inches of rain we had this winter did wonders. And the kitchen garden. Wow! New raised beds filled with composted soil….I wish I could show you. Sigh….
I knit up a pair of socks from the yarn I dyed on Sunday they look like this. Because of the bounty in my garden I’m naming all the yarns I put up on
Fernwood Woolworks with food names.
But I was stumped with a name for these. So I took this pair to the Mi
ss Del Norte practice last night and the general consensus was
SALAD
So Fresh Salad it is. These will be put up on ETSY today. The yarns I hand dye are $12 per skein plus shipping and the socks made from my hand dyed are $16. All other socks are $18.
Katie’s tooth extraction went very well yesterday. She developed an abscess over one of her 11 year old molars a few months ago. Since she is only 8 I thought with the meds she would heal fine but I guess not. We decided to take the tooth out and wait for the adult tooth to come in. Kids are so honest. As I said before, she did really good until it came to the pulling part then she yelled….OUCH! Most adults would just sit there and bear it but not her… another OUCH later and it was out. She got this real cool tooth box and a sticker on her shirt that said Be Careful. By last evening the was running around doing great. I can only hope my wisdom tooth extraction will go as smoothly.
Today I’m doing some more socks, I’m getting ready to demo at the Curry County Fair on Saturday. If you’re in the area, stop by and see me and my friend Linda. We’ll be demo-ing and selling our items with a few other folks showing how we get from animals to clothing. Should be fun.
