In the home stretch

I'm on the last sleeve of my Vogue Cardi. I'll be done and ready for pictures in just a couple of days. So far I am happier with this project, than with anything else I have made thusfar.

Mother's day was nice. Lil'un and I took a nice walk in the neighborhood, but otherwise we mostly just stuck around here. I got a pair of knitting earrings and a twenty-five dollar gift certificate to Knit Picks. I'm not sure what to get. I may just wait a bit and see if they come out with any new yarns. I have enough yarn in my stash to keep me busy for quite a while.

Strawberries are in! I picked 5 qts the other day and they are delicious. I need to pick some more for jam. There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh picked strawberries still warm from the sun.

I made some awesome enchiladas the other day. I whipped up some homeade red sauce and shredded some chicken and cheddar. I think on my day to cook at the beach I'll make mexican food. It'll be a nice change of pace.
