Fresh Fish and Pictures Too!

We went downtown to Joe Patti’s for some fresh fish today.  There are quite a few places around here to get fresh fish, but we prefer Joe Patti’s as they seem to have the largest selection.

While we were there I took some pictures to share with you.

 

 

Wild Daisies in My Yard!

They are everywhere!  I don’t really know where they came from, but there all over my yard.  Average height is about 3 feet.  The bees and butterflies love ‘em.  I do too.  Hubby hates them and pulls them up, but I think that just makes them spread faster, LOL!

The Bee’s Knees!

I’ve been wanting to get some insect shots.  But it seems that they always came out blurry.  I think I got very lucky today.  This insect “cooperated” with my camera.

My Knitted Item for the Fair is Taking Shape

Finally, I feel like I am making some headway with my knitted item for the fair!

It is a rib knit dress with I-cord trim around the neck, armholes and hem.  Of course, I haven’t got to the hem yet, but I’m working on it.  When I get that done I will be adding beads to the dress.  Just haven’t figured out where to put them yet.

The pic below shows the dress as it is now.  The slip underneath is a little long, but I will be trimming that up so that it doesn’t show.

Just Playing Around with “Staged” Photos

I prefer to take photos of landscapes and animals, but I thought I’d play around with some “staged” photos just to see how I like them.  I’m not sure I care for them that much but here they are for you to see.

I chose to use some decorative squash and a couple of baskets that I have on hand.  I did add some crochet accents to two of the photos.

Scrambling to Get My Fair Entries Done!

I have my photos ready.  I even have my crocheted item ready.  BUT I am scrambling to get my knitted item done.  I’m working on a simple sleeveless rib knit dress.  I’ll be adding an I-Cord to the neckline and armhole areas, maybe even to the hem.  Then I will knit a matching jacket and add beads to the dress and jacket.

I only have about six weeks to get it done.  I need to quit procrastinating and hunker down until it is finished.  Easier said than done.  I always find something else that needs doing.  I guess I better just ignore everything else and get my butt in gear.

Keeping my fingers crossed……
