Fantastic and Fabulous

Hello there!!

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of Blogland. 

I have to say it. 

I do love language. And with that I have a bigger love affair with two words the most. 

Fantastic. 

Fabulous. 

This was my past weekend. 

Looking at fantastic tiny homes...

...and gypsy wagons. 

Hubby and I really need to get to cracking in making one. 

Trying on a fabulous corset. 

Yeah. I liked this one. 

Spending a fantastic evening with a friend having wine, rum, and playing with yarn. 

Enjoying a fabulous fire with my hot rum while at my friends house. 

Having a fantastic cup of coffee this morning. 

How was your weekend?

Voting: Or my crochet and hopes in progress....

Feel the Bern! Maybe?

Yesterday in GA was the day to vote in our primary. I voted Democratic, as I felt the need to vote for Bernie Sanders. 

Yes, I think his ideas are good ones. 

We'll see how this plays out by November. 

Right now I'm still working on my sweater. I am seriously hoping to have it done by Monday, and as I'm on the last finishing edge, I should. 

How's your week so far?

A Haiku of passion.

It was warmer today than it has been in a while and while I am not one to normally suffer spring fever; most especially these past couple of years and I have fallen so in love with winter, I have discovered that I have a yearning. Well, to be honest I have had this yearning for a while, I just keep it locked away and only take it out once in a while to daydream about. 

Daydreams are nice though, aren't they?

This picture was taken a couple of years ago. However, it was taken at this same time of year very close to where I live.  This image then and now manages to evoke a very strong sense of wanderlust for me today. 

A Haiku. 

It is close to Spring. 

Lust and yearning keep knocking. 

So too, my hearts desires. 

What are you yearning for?

Tick...Tock...

Time. 

It just keeps going and going and going. 

I have moments while I'm driving to or from work and think of a great blog post, then I get home and poof! Gone is my idea! 

I'm not getting as many cute or interesting pictures right now either. 

But. 

I do have a few. 

I. Got. A. New-to-Me. Car!!!

It's a 2014 Fiat 500L Easy. 

I. Love. It!!

I've named her. 

Pepper Who. 

Can you guess why?

LOL. I am such a geek over the show Dr. Who. 

I am also letting my hair grow long again. I'm not too sure why I keep thinking I'll love it short. But, meh. 

I have also gone with a tiny bit of a shocking color! 

Cute, yes?

Well, I'm off to get back to my crochet. I am almost done with my sweater!

Yay!!

What's on your hook or needles?

The Wannabe Queen....

She has decided that this pillow, this red one right here, is hers. 

She has also been so kind as to inform me that I am a horrible slacker for not working on my crochet any so far this week. 

I shall endeavor to remedy this tomorrow evening. 

Do your own Majesties boss you around?

WIP Wednesday!!

It's Wednesday. That means it's time to see what I'm working on!

This is a sweater that I had thought I was finished. I have since decided it needed to be longer. 

So I snipped in two spots and frogged the bottom shell edging and started adding length. You can see the frogged yarn wound up on a bobbin. 

This shows what my two pretty glass buttons look like. 

And of course, I have a blanket that I've been working on for the past few years now. Like seriously, I have been hooking away at this one project off and on for maybe four years or so? At least? At this point I have no idea if I'll ever get this one blanket finished. LOL

What's your longest running project?

Ttfn, Jennie

Winter Time Love

It has been a cold and blustery month so far. The kind of month where I want to stay on my sofa with a fire in my fireplace and play with yarn all day. 

Most people I know are thinking I'm daft beyond all reason because I love winter. But there is so much to love.  Cozy fireside coffee or cocoa. Warm snuggles with pets and sweeties. And yarn. 

I had started this way back in the beginning of Decamber and frogged it not once, but twice. 

However, once done? Love!!  I love this perfect hat!!

One of my most favorite things about winter is how the frost looks like glitter on everything first thing in the morning. 

Tuesday of last week I picked this beauty up. I have it sitting on my desk to cheer me up and watch it bloom. 

This morning I was not disappointed. I love this deep shade of purple and the smell! While it's quite pungent, it's just right at work. 

What are your Winter time loves?
