Father's Day




Some of my children with their custom made glasses for Father's day.  I thought they were pretty funny.

We ate grilled salmon, garlic butter and 2-cheese smashed roasted potatoes, green beans with bacon and garden onions, and roasted brussells sprouts (dad's favorite).  It was a great day for eating out on the terrace.

Yoo Hoo.....

We're having a wedding!  

Congratulations Brooke and Nate.

Still Here...

I'm still here but life has been busy.

I have been preparing to teach a class at the Wool Cabin and life is moving along at a fast pace.  So fast that I haven't much time to write... or cook.

I did grill up this perfect piece of moist, sweet Halibut.  The summer squash with basil and garlic and fresh spring onions from the garden, along with the butter lettuce salad with feta crumbles and blueberries were the perfect meal for a summer evening.

No recipes because I just threw the fish on the grill, tossed the salad ingredients in a bowl and tossed it with some lime juice a bit of blueberry syrup, and some olive oil.

I can tell you it was scrumptious.

Hope your summer is moving along well...maybe just at a bit slower pace than mine.

Little Cotton Rabbits

Here they are...Little Cotton Rabbits Boy and Girl Bunny.  I thought since they are a pair (well a bit of one as they are wearing blue) they should take a spin on the ARK.
Aren't they cute.  I am teaching a class at The Wool Cabin using Julie Williams' pattern.  These are the display models.

I'm off to work on another.

Little Cotton Rabbit Boy Bunny

I knitted up Julie Williams' Little Cotton Rabbit Boy Bunny pattern.


I think he turned out so cute.
Julie's pattern is amazing.  She provides wonderful photos and easy to follow instructions.  This pattern is well worth the price.  You will find it's geared to intermediate to advanced knitters only because of the small scale and time-consuming technique to put him together.  This might be overwhelming for a beginner.

You can find her pattern for sale here.

I'm off to sew up the girl bunny.  She even more adorable than Boy Bunny.
