Happy June :)


Summer time is here!..... which for us Floridians means RAIN:


We are the Sunshine State except during the Summer. LOL!  It has been said that we are in for an active Hurricane season, but really the news says that every year just to motivate everyone to be prepared for the worst. I'm just hoping we don't have a repeat of Hurricane Matthew like last year. That storm was a very close call to Miami, something we haven't had in years.

April and May (since my last post) were busy as usual. My son and I traveled to a few bowling tournaments. He and I also took a day trip to Disney World, something I will never do again in April. The heat was just unbearable in Orlando. Every year Disney becomes more expensive and I've decided if I'm going to pay a high price to go, I better enjoy it to the fullest. 

In Creative news, I've started another model cross-stitch for X's and Oh's Designs. I can't show it as of yet, but I can tell you that it is bigger with more detail than the last one I finished. Speaking of the last one, I've wanted to post a picture of it but the pattern hasn't been released yet. Hopefully soon! The one I stitched is I believe a companion piece to this design that is already available for purchase.


In Knitting News, I finished the sock I was working on. Tada!


It is a little snug, but that's okay. This sock yarn didn't have any stretchy nylon in it. That makes a difference I've learned, but it's not like I intend to wear these with shoes. My socks are for me to wear at home, not out and about. The second one is currently in the works.

I also started to crochet a new little girl beach hat.


I love the colors in this yarn. Of all the crafts store, I think Hobby Lobby has the nicest cotton yarn. It is really soft and they come in a nice variety of colors. 

That is all for me today. Thank you for visiting!
