Before I go on with my post, I've noticed some pictures I uploaded to my blog have disappeared and were replaced with a minus sign inside a circle. After doing some searching I discovered that Google and Blogger are aware and trying to fix it.
Last week on April 29th was little Elliott's first birthday!! Jenn made her outfit and used her Cricut to make her onesie. She made her skirt too!!
Since we're social distancing and not really going to the store but maybe once every 2-3 weeks, and even then Paul goes since I've had asthma in the past, (he's a good egg) and we don't want to chance it it's very infrequently that I do go out. But, if I wanted to give Elliott a card on her first birthday I needed to make her one. I love making them so this was fun!
Here's the card I made...
We were able to Zoom with Eric and Jessie. I've never used Zoom before but I hope to play some games with friends or family using it.
Paul has some gorgeous flowers blooming. My whole kitchen looks like spring!!

I finished my scarf!! Finally. To be honest, it was a very relaxing and fun knit. I memorized the pattern fairly quickly so I didn't have to keep looking at the chart. The only thing that made it take longer to knit was stopping to add a bead. I do love it though!

I've been wanting to knit Elliott a little sleeveless sweater for a while now. It's called the Watermelon Cardi and it's the cutest thing! The problem is, with this lock-down all yarn is bought online and for the life of me I can't get the watermelon color right. The one ball I bought is a pale peach color and the other is a BRIGHT pink, almost florescent. So while I'm waiting for the 3rd ball to come in the mail, I thought I'd make a practice cardi using stash yarn. Thanks to Stephen for my Knitters Pride Cubics I got for Christmas. First time I've gotten to use them and they are a dream! Square needles, who'd of thought?
As always,

| Notice the little yarn overs look like seeds? |
I'm glad this is a practice one because I've discovered the original buttonholes are on the wrong side and the yarn overs need to be staggered. I can fix those two things when I start the non-practice one.
Today my yarn came for me to knit the Wizarding Transportation Scarf from my Harry Potter Knitting Magic book. I'm so excited!!
While we're still hunkering down with the pandemic, some places are slowly opening but with that comes a lot of stupid people. For instance, my sister in law Sue, posted a photo on Facebook of their local ice cream parlor, K-Cream opening. You would think these people have never heard of face masks or social distancing! It's sad for the rest of us who have and do practice it. Who wants to go stand in this line??

A couple of mishaps this week. Logan was at his aunts house in the water and cut his foot on a piece of driftwood...OUCH!
And then my neighbor Debra was taking a bowl of boiling water out of the microwave and it spilled onto her foot!! Another huge OUCH!!

As always,
thanks for stopping by.
Your scarf is beautiful. I knit too (though haven't had much time for it lately and I am not near as talented as you!). I also crochet & scrapbook too - looks like we have a lot in common.
