Just a short update
Even though our garden looks like this pile of mess:
We still got this out of the garden today: lots of great tomatoes, two very small peppers, and believe it or not that is a melon on the right. It is about the size of a big orange. I was sure that it wouldn't be fit to eat, but...
Dave loved it - he doesn't really like watermelon. It was pretty tasty.
I was very surprised to fine this pretty pink fruit.
Lots of seeds! 
Our new swing that Dave ordered on the internet. This is the swing set that Mr. Robertson made for me years ago. It has been taken apart and moved several times over the years. The swing broke about a month ago while Dave and I were on it!! Glad it happened to us and not one of the kids. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed swinging on it until it was gone. It is placed in front of our vegetable garden and I am glad to have it back.
Of course Dave had to put it together.
Putting it together!!
So after all that work we had a glass of wine. Dave likes Zinfandel (on the right) and I like Cabernet. I decided to start another Christmas present - it was such a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy.
This yarn will make a nice scarf. Black and brown eyelash yarn.
I learned a new knitting technique and it was a struggle at first. This is the "Rhythm Wrap" from "A Treasury of Magical Knitting". The book is by Cat Bordhi and she has come up with this technique based on the moebius strip - I won't go into any details because I would only confuse you. I really love this wrap, but it turned out too big - not sure why so I made another one:
I had this yarn on hand and it did turn out better. I hadn't added the fringe yet to this one. I ended up giving to a girl I work with. She loved the orange one I made and she wants to learn how to knit and crochet, so I told her no problem. But, this isn't the project to start with when you don't know how to knit - a simple scarf is much better. This pattern really works up fast, once you get the hang of it. I cast on for a black one over the weekend.
Two more Christmas present scarves. 
Finally finished these baby hats and packaged them to mail off to the newest addition to our family. Emma Catherine - my cousin Loretta's grandaughter.
Ribbon hat on the left, cupcake hat and a pumpkin hat.
I posted about starting the pumpkin hat several weeks ago. This pattern just did not turn out right, so I went back to a pattern I used previously for the twins.
But that didn't work out immediately either. I used a different type of yarn and the size was wacky. The one on the left is tiny - might fit a preemie baby or a doll baby, so I went up on the needle size and it turned out a little bigger. Hopefully it will fit, if not I told them to let me know and I will make another. I love making baby items for a lot of reasons - cute and quick!
This is the little ribbon hat. I sent several different color ribbons so it will match other outfits.
