hmmmm it was pretty good

ok the menu for our anniversary dinner

stuffed chicken breasts with mushroom gravy
over white and wild rice
roasted brussels sprouts on the side

i made a cake
with pinapple and coconut
and a boiled frosting
with toasted coconut on top


that is our anniversary dinner


now
i am typing this ON our anniversary........while waiting for bernie to get home
i didn't sneak his card to his desk last night
while he put mine on my desk this morning
i got him a puzzle as well

he is taking off friday to celebrate our anniversary and valentines all together

and i am feeling better
my cold is started to break i think

tomorrow if all goes well
i will be felting my boots
and mailing a friends birthday card that SHOULD have gone out monday
i had it ready but didn't make it to the PO

i haven't picked a new project yet
waiting on the lamb's pride for the gray boots
but it is a toss up between a new 'ice queen' scarf
or another pair of house slippers

either one is a very quick knit

i really should start making the scarfs and the slippers for gifts i think
they make fabulous and impressive but fast and useful items
i love the ice queens scarves as they are light and warm and i can't lose them!

and the felted wool house slippers
well
what can i say
they are the BEST

anyway
this will post first thing in the am
i may not be down at that time

i can get used to this typing the blog at night thing

oh and it was WAY warm here
61~!!!!
a lot of the ice melted

alien ice patch didn't..........
but hey that won't recede until may

the ice that did melt left me with sucking mud

cleo isn't too happy
she is having trouble walking in it all
but the good news is........ she is having so much trouble (poor little thing)
she can't yell at me
she has to concentrate on just getting up and down the hill...........and not on her beak

oye

    I've had my eye on the Ice Queen for a while now, too. Even have some yarn I set aside for it, but haven't actually done it. I knitted a couple of this other lace neckwarmer,

    and I can attest that it's totally awesome. It has patterning on every row, but it's pretty intuitive (keep in mind that I'm not great at memorizing patterns or "reading" my knitting, but this one's easy).
