"Makes Me Smile" Monday

No need to be anybody but oneself."

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 !!
