It's Bittyful Friday

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER WAS 95 DEGREES!!!! SECOND DAY 97!!! WILL I LIVE TO SEE DAY THREE????   AM I BEING TOO DRAMATIC?

From my kitchen

Although we are working our little tails off in the garden waging a constant battle on the weeds, we are still waiting for our labor to come to fruition. So to keep busy we check out our cabinets to see what we can make till the harvest starts to come in. And what did I find in the pantry?? 

Lovely pecans that I quickly toasted to add flavor and crunch

Great handmade caramels  that I cut into 1/3's and placed on top of the pecans

And  topped with these Smoky Chipotle Palets  that I purchased from my favorite chocolatier Byrnes and Carlson  Check out these beautiful chocolate bars that they create  HERE

Pop them in the oven just till chocolate starts to melt and what a treat you'll have. Strawberries are in and sitting on the porch with a Persico and strawberry cooler and a few a these can make the wait for fresh produce pretty enjoyable. What do you do while waiting for fresh produce?......said the hobbit

It's Bittyful Friday

I GET TO SIT IN THIS BAG AND WATCH THINGS BAKE.......SHE SAYS IT'S A SOUS CHEF THING!     I SAY BORING!!!!!

Tuesday night with the girls

Always something new going on with my girls.......This adorable child's hat is as easy to do as 1-2-3. This one was done by Glenice with a pattern that Margie has copied for all of us to try. The pattern has a total of 5 rows and is done on regular straight needles so it would be great for a beginner. I'll be doing one soon so get your needle and yarn ready and we'll give it a try together. This is for children however the pattern adapts for adults. Check your Christmas list ........you might be able to check off a few names with this one. I'm going through my stash of yarn,just regular acrylic is fine. You want to be able to throw this one in the wash and dry so don't get too fussy. I believe she used #8 needles but,if you have 7 or 9 that's probably OK too.

Donna is back!!!! She is one of the main reasons we started our knitting group. However, hubby went through a spell of ill health and her first concern was getting him to all those appointments and treatments.

George is doing much better now and I think this might just be the fun project that she has been looking for.I'll see if she wants to join in the fun.I think when I tell her about the regular needle part it might just be the right incentive. Lord how this girl hates double pointed needles.............said the hobbit

It's a Bittyful Friday

I'M BACK...............COULD I HAVE AN AMEN AND AN ALLELUIA!
