sun bags

So last time we met

I was on the search for an answer to the

mystery package

 how it got here

who sent it
why were there two names
does the queen really think Kate's dress is horrid?!!

I have it on good authority

that it was sent

undercover

it was a conspiracy

an attempt to pull the wool

to surprise

to confound

to pull one over

it was sent as an award

for the nothingness of this blog

from one without a blog

but who should have a blog

!!

one who likes the nothingness

and decided to reward me for it

who am I to deny her

:)

if she had asked for my address

 I would have

 cottoned

known

surmised

figured out

been aware

that she was sending me something

so she asked the one who has all

the one who holds all the addresses on the planet

our Queen of the Blankets

Sue

of SIBOL fame

:)x

well

you get the drift

thank you both

!!!

:)

somehow the package was sent from

the South to the North and then

from there

it flew West

I have no idea if it went East anywhere

but it is a very well travelled package

worldly

one could say

!!!!

We ate the penguin cookies after dinner

with a cuppa

and enjoyed them very much

I liked them better than the

Tim Tams

not as sweet

I will have to see if I can find them here

please sir

may I have another

the husband read the cover from front to back

they have little jokes on them!!

and then when he had licked the last of the chocolate off

he pronounced them tasty

:)    :(

 so now to the

sun bags

 the Mister had to go and get a piece to fix the fan in our room

it quit

stopped working

give up

stopped spinning

can't rotate anymore

and as I am one who likes to feel the breezes at night

he went to get what is needed to make that possible again

he came back with the part and a sunflower plant

for moi

lots of flowers and plants this month

for moi

lucky moi

non?!!

it has a few buds to come so hopefully it will survive the heat

and I'll keep it

hydrated

and we'll have something

purrdy to look at

coz all the other plants are

kaput

the  heat and the lack of rain have taken their toll

it's bad out there

sad and bad

and

dry

and once again I'm so glad I didn't give into the wants

and buy all those plants I wanted in the Spring

it would have been

painful

so there's the sun

here's the bag

I knitted some domino squares

and made a little bag

that I then took close ups of and teased you

 

then I made this one

I saw something like it on a blog somewhere out there

and just made it up as I went along

it's quite little

only ten blocks but it's so cute!!!

and they are both waiting to have their linings sewn in

I'll show them closer up when they're done

and I have always wanted a blue and white

pillow

so I made one of those too

I have a few Scandinavian blogs I visit and always always

swoon over all the blue and white

next house I have

it's all blue and white I tell ya

all blue and white

 with a touch of

yellow

the back and front waiting to be sewn together

and then it will sit on the bed in the

rotl

and I will have a blue and white pillow

or two or twelve

!

so now I had better go and give the

sun flower a drink of water

and just enjoy it's big yellow happy face

but just for minute

it's hot out there

and there are

big disgusting jumping ticks out there

they're falling from the trees and landing on me and the hubby

have to check each time we go out

I already had one the other week on the back of my leg

ick yuck and get me outta here

I had tick typhus as a child and always remember the day they found out

we were on the way to a party and I kept fussing with the dress I had on

the neck

and my mother thought I was just being a pain

and when she checked to see if something was wrong she found the tick

I think tick typhus might be something like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

I had a little white spot on my neck for years

shudder

another reason for me not to go out

anyway

I have sun bags to finish

and then the pillow and then I get to look for something else

and what did you think of those pot holders

from the

way back machine

I posted a link to yesterday

:) :) :)

what a hoot some of them are

so kitch and vintage

just like your granny had!!!!

groovy man

:)
