"Makes Me Smile" Monday

"No need to hurry. No need to sparkle.

No need to be anybody but oneself."

- Virginia Woolf -

The Blues

The good kind, though !!

I found some lovely yarn for my next knitting project (already on the needles !),

and fabric for new curtains in our bedroom (on sale 1/2 price, too !).

Looks like I was drawn to the blues:

The color of the yarn is "Ocean Spray", but that

reminds me of the cranberry juice drink . . . !

The tank top I'm knitting has a bit of a nautical feel . . .

and thinking about all our years vacationing at the Outer Banks . . .

I'm feeling like this project should be my "Ocracoke tank" !!

So there it is . . . "Ocracoke tank" on the needles,

and new bedroom curtains soon to follow !

Happy (blue) Thursday !

Done & Done

Woohoo ! The "Siren Song" sweater is finished !!!

It took a bit longer than I would've liked . . .

but I loved everything about this sweater . . .

. . . from the lovely yarn I chose . . . to the variety of stitches & textures . . .

and not least of all, the eyelet section above the waist that holds a belt,

ribbon, or whatever I so choose to put in there . . . .

LOVE IT !!!

It'll just have to wait until Fall to be put in the wardrobe rotation !!

Until then . . . on to the next project !!
