I'll offer these odds and ends instead.
Yesterday, yes on Mother's Day, I decided to try the recipe for Butterscotch Cream Pie from Martha Stewart. First, you just have to know that I am so far from being a Martha Stewart woman -- I cannot believe how organized one woman can be and my home, though just right for my husband and me, is not even close to the way she lives. But I do like looking at the magazine and sometimes I even try a recipe or two. Like this one. I love butterscotch and think what passes for it in commercial puddings is wholly undeserving of the name. So this looked like it might be just what I hoped for.
Well, let me tell you, it is good! We had enough filling to pour into a couple of ramekins so there is still a little left But probably not for long!
Martha wouldn't have left that drip of filling on the rim -- see what I mean by not being an MS woman?
I have been gathering beads for the yarn I already have. I discovered mixes and decided to try a couple of them. I just love these -- Gray Diamonds from BeadWrangler. I plan to use them with a deep blue extrafine merino (think Baruffa cashwool) from Colourmart.
There are even more choices in the 11/0 beads -- these are 8/0 -- but I don't know if they would be too small. I may try some though. I am just so enamored of beads in lace that I find myself adding them to all the patterns I have.
Here is a bit more of the Goddess Knits Spring Mystery stole --
The beads on this one are are iridescent clear so they hardly show in the picture.
Moe responds to all of this knitting and bead obsession --
Finally, it is another beautiful day here so I think I will go out for a little walk.
