It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This was a LONG week.

No  idea why, but it was.

I think I had more jammy days this week

than I have since before I met Gene.

No photos available.

It was NOT a pretty sight :)

But, speaking of a pretty sight

I've been able to look at these

two pots of hyacinths this week.

All of you who know hyacinths

know how WONDERFUL they smell

and these two did not disappoint.

I don't know if you can tell

but they are beside our stairs.

So first thing in the morning,

as we are coming down the stairs

their wonderful aroma lets us know that spring IS here.

Even though our weather forecast

call for snow between 5:00 pm tonight

and 5:00 pm Sunday :)

And, yes, my fingers have been busy.

I call this my 2nd Doily for Roswell.

Might change the name,

not sure.

Last night I finished the pink and gray.

I wasn't sure how much I would like it.

I had envisioned the pink going out to the edge,

but it, sort of, faded out.

So I frogged a couple of rows and went back to the gray.

Glad I did.

A Doily for Roswell

Another one of my pattern, developed during Gene's journey through his cancer recovery. It is named for the cancer hospital, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, where he has received treatment.

I thought I wouldn't be able to finish this doily before St Patrick's Day so I went with colors that would work for Easter. This doily was done in Alize, Miss Batik # 3715 which I purchased on Etsy.


One day I need to learn how to take photos that show the gorgeous color in this yarn without having to use our steps in the living room. See all of the chipped off paint? That comes from the tags on the collars of our cats. But, it really is a good thing. We know which one is using the stairs by the sound their tags make on the steps.
