Hearts and Flowers

Well, if you watched The Apprentice tonight you no doubt noticed that there were NO hearts and flowers on Piers’ team. Oy! And, I must hand it to Donald Trump for doing the right thing in NOT firing anyone from Trace Adkins’ team. That would have been so tough to do - and a completely WRONG move on his part. Kudos to him!

So, what did you and your honey do for Valentine’s Day? Go out to eat? Buy candy - cards - flowers - write special words - buy/give a ring - pop the question - survive the night? or did your love go wrong?

Hubby and I had an early dinner out - a bit disappointed that our favorite Mexican restaurant didn’t have the special dessert - Tres Leches - yummy when they have it. Sigh! I was disappointed - but probably better off not to have had it. Right? Right.

After dinner hubby went home and I went back to work - it is group night and I am one of the facilitators . . . soooooo . . . and it was a good group tonight. Lots of insight from a couple of the participants and that is refreshing!

Anyway - I looked around for some more hearts and flower-type stuff for you all.

I just love this little hearts and flowers scarf! And, she also is selling this little kiss on your neck scarf.

My sister is the one who always did such lovely filet crochet. Here’s a beautiful doily - just fine work.

And, how about the little dolls in your household - both living and plastic? Here’s a sweet little outfit. (Oh, I am SUCH a Gramma, aren’t I?)

How about this slightly naughty valentine candy pillow?

And, oh, by the way . . . . I wanna be a domiknitrix!!! Wearing that I could LOOK the part and reading this I could knit the part. Heh!

Hope your Valentine’s Day was full of Hearts and Flowers!

    Thanks for the link!

    I almost bought that domaknitrix book for my brother’s girlfriend for Christmas. It had the cutest little devil eared hat that I selfishly wanted her to make for me. Me not having the knitting gene. Unfortunately Barnes and Noble had one copy and it was damaged. :(

    On another note, my mother-in-law gave me her quilting templates while I was visiting WA last week as well as a gorgeous pattern for a quilt she made. I don’t have any quilting experience but I’d really love to learn!

    Hi, Kyla - sorry to hear about the damaged book - was it so bad it couldn’t be used? Too bad they wouldn’t give you a good discount on it.

    A lot of the ladies at church quilt - it’s one hobby I haven’t picked up (yet!) Maybe some day. ;)

    No, it could have been used, I just wasn’t too sure I wanted to give a damaged book as a gift. Turns out she wouldn’t have cared.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
