Playing Catch-Up!

 This is just a mish-mash of things I found in my picture file!  I hope you enjoy them!

This is a little jacket I knitted from my last yarn Purchase at Purl 3, just before they closed up shop due to repercussions of COVID-19.  I sure do miss them!

One day I looked out the front door and spotted this in front of our place!  Do you recognize Poppa's truck?  Kevin has it now and stopped in to see us.

Here is my little Princess Taffy - she still likes to knit!

And here is part of the gang - enjoying snacks while they watch TV in the evening!

Poppa went to buy lottery tickets one night and forgot to take his sidekick with him.  Squishie waited patiently until Poppa returned to go watch TV.

COVID did allow me lots of time for knitting.  This is the little table that holds all my stuff while I'm working on a project.  The thing with the yellow stripe is an external keyboard for my tablet and/or phone - Poppa bought it for me - I love it dearly!      

                                
This is a pile of finished projects just waiting for the gift shop at the hospital to re-open.

Annie and the boys popped in for a brief visit - here the boys are with Poppa - not sure what they are doing - but they all looked intrigued by it!

One of our neighbours sent this little african violet over to say thank you to Poppa for something he had done for them.  I put it out in the sun one day and then forgot about it.  By the time I remembered - it was really sick!  We have been nursing it back to health with some advice from Aunt Muffy.  Taffy and Gracie keep an eye on it to ensure it is still well.

A (not very good - yellow doesn't seem to photograph very well - picture of a baby outfit I finished.

This is Poppa and Mommy during that quick visit - aren't they cute!

Poppa, Munchie, Curtie and Nanna sit still for a photograph!

And... this is the back view of the little jacket at the beginning of this blog.  

That's it - hope you enjoyed it!

Finally!

 I apologize for such a long interval and hope nobody has been holding their breath!  With Covid restrictions in place - we are not out much and I don't have as much time alone to concentrate on just what to say.

I guess the first thing I should tell you is that Poppa had a heart attack on December 14th, 2020.  It was a very tense situation for a while, but he seems to be recovering well, and has gone out for his daily walk alone - for the first time.... I'm a little nervous, but it has to happen sooner or later - he is getting tired of being baby-sat!

So, I don't have a lot of other news, but have had lots of time to knit, so I'll post some pictures............

The lighting isn't very good - but the outfit is a yellow background with intervals of pink and green pattern.

Just a little sweater done in green - because I liked the pattern!

A pretty little white dress for dress-up days for a baby girl.

Of course - this one is intended for a little fellow - do you like the alternating colours and patterns?

Simply blue - because I don't seem to do as many blue outfits.

A smaller sweater and hat done in the balance of the yellow yarn above.

This is Munchie modelling one of Granny Maureen's masks - shows off her talent and his beautiful blue eyes!

Couldn't resist posting this one of Munchie in his Spiderman hoodie (and his mask)!

Of course I had to show off Curtie's mask and outfit too.  

And, as usual, Munchie couldn't resist curling up in his new blanket for a rest.

A cute picture so Squeegie, Mikey and Gracie watching CNN with me.

I hopped out of my knitting chair long enough to give you an idea of where I am most of my time!

With my gadgets and a Reese's bar right next to my chair, on a little table that Poppa modified slightly so that everything is handy!

This is Blu.  I made him and his outfit from leftover yarn from Munchie's blanket.

This is me In one of my favourite masks that Granny Maureen made - in case you can't tell - there are little gray bears frolicking about on it.

Here is Squishie digging into Poppa's cereal - he is just like Squeegie when it comes to eating - he can do it all day if I let him.

This photo of Squishie and Taffy was obviously taken last year when the weather was nice and warm - but it is a cute picture - can you see them both smiling?

That's it for now - more soon (I hope!)
