Saturday Stitches and Symmetry

Hosted by 

YAM Aunty click here to see her handwork

Thanks to YAM for fueling my urge to crochet  Today I have 2 news squares 

I thank our Host, YAM, for encouraging me not to give up on the troubled TREBLE.  

She said she thought I'd find it a useful stitch to conquer...SHE WAS CORRECT**.

Last week I featured my 'version' of the treble.

This week I completed the real TREBLE. I used thicker yarn 

I have a new favorite crochet stitch...

It is called Aligned Cobble Stitch, it has such personality too and is fun.  It is made with single and treble crochet stitches.

I had an entire skein of Soft Sage...it is such a pretty color

YAM was correct about the treble stitch** it is the terrific Treble that makes this adorable cobble pattern

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Ellen came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. A word to describe my life right now would be cave dweller. It is so hot we are keeping all the shades down.  The only window with light is over the kitchen sink.

2. Hot, Humid, summer weather drives me batty

3. When it comes to weather preference I’m most known for loving  spring and fall.

4. A good book and a cold glass of water or iced coffee that I make myself,  is my idea of cozy.

Play Date 

It was Dad's day to play

I had lots of plans and fun things on my list. 

He fell into a deep asleep

I fell into disgruntled dismay.

I wanted to color 

 I could not reach my crayons

So I used Mom's make up.

If he doesn't want to look like a dope,

he will need lots of soap.

Happy Tuesday Quote

My Photo Journalist and dear friend Janice sent me a text:

"Can you see the ground hog eating my Cone Flowers?

They are such fun to watch, their legs are so short and it is big around, amazing how fast they can move."

I replied: "Yes I can...it is lucky to be eating the flowers of someone who thinks he is cute"

Great quote for a Happy Tuesday

Awww Monday Fun Facts with Rocky

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus 

 Dear Auntie HiC,

This episode of Fun Facts with Rocky is regarding something near & dear to Mom’s heart.

Mom has been called a “Childless Cat Lady” in an insulting manner. She just says, “Thank you!” 😹

I was curious about where the term “Cat Lady” started, so I did a little research. It’s quite interesting.

❤️Rocky

Dearest Nephew Rocky

Auntie HiC loved Miss Mabel's commented "surrounded by softness"!!!

Also Auntie knows there is a huge difference in being alone and being lonely!!

As you know Auntie is an only child...she was never lonely.  In fact she developed a huge imagination and she loved reading too.  

Lovingly Auntie HiC
