Pink Pixie Hat

I finished a larger version of the pixie hat for P to wear next year.

This one fits much better. The neck/scarf section is longer and will stay tucked into her coat better.

For this version of the Lyalya Hoodie I used Cascade 220 yarn. I do like the look of the more solid color yarn with this pattern. Miss P is thrilled with it.

I thought I might like one of these for myself but when I tried it on it made M laugh. I guess a second grader can pull off a pointy pixie hat look better than I can. 

Gratitude

I am grateful for late blooming flowers.

Years ago we planted this clematis by the chicken barn. The chickens have always kept it under stress and it hasn't bloomed. This year, some strategically placed rocks have helped it grow.

Now it blooms.And it's PINK!

Thoughtful Sunday - Tickled Pink

"The table was decorated with pink tulips, a pink tablecloth, pink candles, pink napkins, and pink nut dishes.  The main course was a maraschino cherry, walnut, marshmallow, pineapple, strawberry, cream cheese and cabbage molded salad, accompanied by pink biscuits. There were also pink mints and pink gumdrops. And luckiest of all, Mrs Harroway just happened to be dressed entirely in pink with even pink gloves and pink roses in her hat."
