…be thankful you can knit! ;-)  I was thinking lemons/lemonade but…ok, it doesn’t work!  But I made it work for me!  Today we finished our schoolwork and were heading out to Gma & Gpa O’s house to swim this afternoon (97 degrees at 5pm!! Ugh) when the van would not start.  :(  Gpa O tried to charge the battery but it’s just dead.  He took the younger boys to swim while J1 waited for his friend to arrive and Sissy took a nap. Since I didn’t have school to do and had already planned not to work, it seemed a perfect time to knit!

So Ruth came over and taught me how to make Dorset buttons for my sweatshirt sweater.  Don’t they look nice?

And, here is her blue one too!

I finally found something to do with all those scraps of yarn! Yeah!

Unfortunately, I still need 3 more buttons AND it was HOT trying it on for pictures!  (and I never know what to do with my hands! LOL)

But I love it and can’t wait for the temps to drop so I can wear it!

I also talked her into modeling the purple hat that I’m giving to my niece (the wool is itchy so this cotton one will work for the summer months).

And then I finished and tried on the newsboy hat I made for myself!

Wow.  Girls really ARE different from boys.  I’ve never had a boy who wanted to see themselves in the mirror after getting dressed.  I’ve never had a boy who wanted to wear Momma’s jewelry.  I’ve never had a boy who couldn’t wait to show Grammy their outfit! LOL

Here is today’s outfit (she picked out the necklace and hat) – all ready for a day hanging out with Grammy!

And here is what the other 5 shots looked like – she does NOT get the idea that we have to stand STILL for photos! LOL
