Sick of Flowers yet?
…possibly you’re not however, I don’t want to be completely boring on Fridays so this week I give you…
…a flower bud.
Looks kind of alien, doesn’t it? This is one of my tree peonies - I call this one, “The One on the Left” because I forgot to label it when I planted it. This has been one stubborn plant. I put it in the ground five years ago (? - possibly longer) and it only JUST started flowering last year. The best part? I don’t remember what color it was last year so this year I’ll be surprised all over again! ;o)
In other knitting news, I’m plugging along on my Mr. GreenJeans (or Mr. Good Luck as I’m calling it on Ravelry) and have just begun working on the cables. Pictures after the weekend!
In blogworld news, Jess has started up Summer of Socks ‘08! You can read more about it and sign up here.
Oh and I have other exciting news to share: after searching for a full day - and having several panic attacks - I found the Wing of the Moth shawl that I knit for Dobby last year for Prom. Why was I searching, you ask? Because Prom is next Friday and I was told she *had* to have it. (she also didn’t give me enough notice to knit something new. It’s also entirely possible that this was a test that I *could* find it since I wouldn’t let her keep it in her pile room last year.) I was so flippin’ happy when I found it that I started yelling and dancing around with the zip bag in my hand. I’ve possibly done some permanent mental damage to the dogs. and RR. ;op HOWEVER I will NOT be getting the ‘Worlds Worst Mom’ award this year. Yay me! ;o)

What? They have more than one Prom?
Since you found it, hope it means an extra special Mother’s day present

I couldn’t possibly be sick of flowers - we hardly have any here! So happy to “discover” your blog - looks like I have lots of catching up to do!

See, I can so picture you dancing around the house screaming, “I found it, I found it!” And who can blame you, I’d be doing the same thing.
And you’re so not the world’s worst mom. Dobby doesn’t get how lucky she really is!

Thanks for the plug! And I’m glad you found the shawl. That would have been so not good on so many levels if it were lost!

Hooray for found shawls!
And for those asking, my high school (and many other American high schools I know) had proms in both the junior and senior years.

Yay! Glad you found it - a week would be quite the time crunch to crank out another one, way to save the day.

Never sick of flowers!
Summer of Socks? Have to check it out. Good going, finding the shawl. You knew where it was all along. Right? Right?
And…um…how do you know the dogs didn’t already have permanent mental damage? ;-O

I have one I bought six years ago that will flower for the first time this year. It BETTER be the right color. One I bought from CT at the same time wasn’t.
