Day 148 - August 16, 2010 - For Winter Warmth

I really dislike wearing coats in the winter time but
you need something so I will wear a jacket and
usually a scarf to keep the cold from going
down the back.

I have a fav jacket that is warm but I needed
a matching scarf. So I went through my yarn
and came up with this....

Worked on it for several hours and this is where I got....
still working

and I had to get some close up shots of me working on it.
actually I was just showing off my ring, here is another
pic of me working on the project.

and here is the jacket I wanted to match too.

The project with the jacket....pretty close in color.
The little bit of ivory color picks up the inside
of the jacket, which by the way, can be reversed.

Thanks for stopping by....

Sweet! What a perfect accessory to that jacket. Is that "afghan stitch" you are using? I am more of a knitter, haven't crocheted in years and would need a refresher course!

Beautiful -- now you need the weather to wear it. I find I always get the urge to knit in August -- I think it's a nesting thing, getting ready for the winter.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
