Olivia!

What an exciting time... to see Olivia and listen to one of her stories

and to have your picture taken with Olivia

well... not everyone... 

this is as close as she would get

Afterward it was pretzel time!

It was a great day with my girls

Busy as a bee

Already?!

March?!!  What happened to January and February?

It has been a busy two months.


I have been busy working, visiting with the grandkids, knitting, baking, doing needlepoint, and reading.

To catch you up...

I finished these Beaded Lacey Cuffs February 23rd.  They are as cute as I remember.

Mikado Knit Lace Cuff with Beads design by Cathy Campbell
Yarn: Katia Acuario (90% viscose, 10% plyamide), Green
Beads: Mill Hill size 6 color 16037 (80 beads)


Knitted madly trying to finish the Putting Holes in Happiness socks for the FGF (Fingerless Glove Fanatics) Sock Group on Ravelry.  I had January and February to finish them.  January I worked on the Blathnat socks and socks for a designer (finishing those socks the middle of February).  I thought, 'yes!' I can do this... finish these purple socks in two weeks.     HA!

As you can see, I didn't make it.  Instead I started and finished a fingerless mitt for the lys.  Then I had to start a pair for myself.

The one for the shop was done using Online Linie 33 Cosmo (70% merino, 5% cashmere, 25% polymide) in purple on US2/2.75m dpns.

For mine I'm using Online Linie 33 Cosmo in blue on US2/2.75m dpns.

The pattern is from Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders.

"Woven" Fingerless Gloves by Laura Hein Eckel.

The yarn is a dream to work with and gives great stitch definition.

 It may surprise you that I found a few minutes to work on my needlepoint.

My goal this year is to stitch a few Christmas ornaments.

So I'm starting with Santa.

 He may not look like much so far, but wait... he is a cute ornament.  (and I already have the next 6 ornaments picked out!!!!)

I've also been playing baking my own hamburger rolls and loaves of bread.

I don't have pictures of the hamburger rolls.  They were yummy!  I do need to practice on the shape though.
This loaf is a honey wheat and I think it baked a bit too long.  darn! I'll just have to make it again, lol.

To catch up on what I've been reading, check out my list of books here.

And now it is time for a cup of tea.   Won't you join me?

My tease for this Tuesday...

 A Beaufort & Company Mystery

 "Beazley and Caldecott have a temporal practice?" Ronald Parchese said.  The angel held the business card by one edge without looking at it.  "And Suite 0? Who has a Suite 0?"

~p. 28, Angel Condemned by Mary Stanton

From the book cover:
As an attorney, Brianna Winston-Beaufort practices law in the great state of Georgia.  As a celestial advocate, she serves dearly departed clients seeking justice from a higher court...

A Portrait of Crime Mystery

No answer.  She stepped inside and found herself in a small, neat living room.  She called out again, but the only sound was the clicking Hobo's claws on a floor somewhere in the rear of the house.  Having decided she'd done all that social protocol demanded, Rory followed the noise through the living room and dining room to the kitchen.  There she found Hobo whimpering and licking the ashen cheek of the middle-aged woman who lay sprawled on the floor in a dark pool of blood.

~p. 15, To Sketch a Thief by Sharon Pape

yep, another "who dun it?"

Winner!

As you know I am an avid reader.

 

 My

challenge is going well.  I have read 97 books so far this year.  So my personal goal of 104 books for the year is in sight.  I may even surpass it!!

While surfing around other book blogs on Teaser Tuesdays (where I always find new books to try!), I found a new blog, Pudgy Penguin Perusals.  She was having a drawing for a mystery book (one of my favorite type of books).  Guess what?!   
I won!!  Yep, soon I’ll be reading, “Tempest in the Tea Leaves” by Kari Lee Townsend.  I can’t wait.  I’ll be reading about a tea leave reading psychic.

So you would think all this reading would interfere with my knitting.  You could be right.  But I try to balance it out by listening to books on tape while I knit.  And I always read for a little bit at bed time (which sometimes turns into late night! lol)

    But for now, I think it’s time to get some knitting done.

 A Vintage Magic Mystery

My sudden panic became rooted in strange phone calls, and I sprinted along Broadway to the opposite side of the tracks, re-creating a scene from Up the Down Staircase as I flowed against the disembarking crowd.  An unconscious girl lay on the bench in the commuter shelter, paramedics checking her vitals.

An unexpected shiver of unease scuttled through me.

~p.18, Skirting the Grave by Annette Blair

Another excellent mystery by Annette Blair!

 Eric's face didn't show anything, but I could feel him scrambling, struggling to keep his face still and his thought clear.
Several points to Victor for an amazing ambush.

~p. 77, Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Book #11 in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series. More secrets revealed and major changes in Sookie's life.  A great series!
(the books are much better than the tv (hbo) series "True Blood.")

 Book #2 in the Krewe of Hunters Trilogy

The officers who had been first on the scene had done their best to keep the details hidden, but it was New York.  People had seen.  They'd seen beyond the crime scene tape and the wall of bodies, and they had seen the amount of blood around the victim.

~p.23, Sacred Evil by Heather Graham

A scary thought... is Jack the Ripper back?! in New York?  read Sacred Evil to find out.

another great mystery by Carolyn Haines!

"You're certain the necklace was stolen?" he said, doubt evident in his voice and expression.   "Did you find any reason to believe the Levert women may be responsible for the disappearance of the necklace?"

~p.67, Bones of a Feather by Carolyn Haines

What starts out as an easy insurance case soon has Sarah Booth and Tinkie on another heart stopping adventure.  Excellent book!
I highly recommend it!!

And as I lived and breathed, Garrett Swopes was struggling to come uip with that very thing.  After all, dead people don't walk around trying to solve their own murders.  Ghost don't exist.  None of what I claimed was possible.

My tease for this Tuesday...

Krewe of Hunters

They didn't have good new footage to show; so far, none of the reporters or their crews had been allowed on the property, and thus they had nothing new to say.  Of course, the world now knew that Charles Osgood was dead, and everyone everywhere was deliberating.  It was absolutely amusing to discover just how many people were certain that a bitter Confederate ghost had committed the crime.

My tease for this Tuesday...

Angela Hawkins was attacking the floor with a pickax and a vengeance.  The dry dirt floor just beneath the staircase.

"What the hell are you doing?"  He might have been a fool to race down the stairs to accost her--she knew how to hold an ax.

Or if she was dead.
Dang! I gave myself a mental slap. I should have picked up on the whole dead thing right away.

My tease for this Tuesday...

 

"Humm's Haunted Houses," I read aloud. "Cute."

"Give her a call."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"This from the woman who spent the last ten minutes telling me about being stalked by a ghost."

My tease for this Tuesday...

"All the stories about someone bumping into Arlice and causing her to turn around.  As if something stung.  As if she were getting a shot."

"Somebody killed her."

My tease for this Tuesday...

"So Sanchez thinks he has a case against Frater LG?"
"He's too good an officer to think so at this stage of the investigation.  He does see Grampian as a person of interest, especially since Grampian has no alibi for th the night of the Romero murder."

Witches, Vampires, and Man-eating bunny slippers!

"The man who looks like an olive claims I freak people out" She gestured to a troll that exited the office.  "Oh yes, I'm the odd one here."

Jazz swallowed her laughter.  The last thing she needed to do was encourage the irascible ghost.
