the common cold. boo.

you would only catch me wearing clashing stripes if i were sick.


well i am, so don't judge the stripey pj bottoms that were caught in this photo with my completed stripey socks. dublin bays were finished thursday. just a day over my goal. this picture was taken friday night while i was lazing on my couch. i seem to have caught a cold.

yesterday was our monthly knotty knitters meeting. it was at my place this time and i whipped up some kapuska (baked sauerkraut, just like my grandmas) and bananas foster napoleons. my friend denise brought the yummiest pasta primavera and there was so much more food!! it was all yummy! oh and cocktails of course! i made my favorite martini, the dreamsicle.

i also managed to find some potted tulips for my mom's easter basket (with easter being so late, this was no easy task).


i was so inspired by the basket article in the april issue of martha that i decided to try my own. the basket was just plain and unfinished to start. i bought it at michaels along with the moss and little eggs. i painted the basket and then added the cute little "chocolate" bunny (it is plastic, not chocolate). i was very happy with how it turned out. sometimes it feels good to do crafty stuff un-related to knitting ;)

hope you all had a happy easter!

*sniffle**cough*
i'm going to go rest up!
