Loving Summer

Summer was late coming to Bellingham this year, but it was worth waiting for.  Mostly sunny with highs in the seventies is my idea of perfect.

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!

Crochet Kindle Case Tutorial

My wonderful husband gave me a Kindle e-reader for my birthday last month. I love to read and am enjoying having an e-reader. I like to carry it in my purse, but wanted it to be protected, so I made a cover for it. Here’s how: 1. Using cotton (Sugar & Cream weight) yarn and a size K crochet hook, chain 26. 2. Beginning with the second chain from hook, single crochet in each chain stitch to end. This should now be a half-inch longer than the height of the Kindle. 3. Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each single crochet. Repeat this step until the piece is twice the width of the Kindle plus three inches. Bind off. 4. Lay Kindle on piece about three inches from one end.   Fold other end over Kindle. Adjust so that Kindle is completely covered and edge of piece matches side edge of Kindle.                            ...

I was an Amway brat.  My parents were successful Amway distributers for many years, and we used Amway products extensively in our home.  They were good products.  Their laundry products worked well, and were a good value because they were so concentrated.  Best of all, they didn't irritate sensitive skin.  Because I have extremely sensitive skin, I've continued using Amway laundry products for most of my adult life - until recently.  I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but Amway began adding fragrance to their laundry products.  Since I can't stand wearing perfumed clothing, I started using fragrance free laundry products from the grocery store. Finding fragrance free laundry detergent and fabric softener from the store has been easy.  There are several available. There is one Amway product, however, that my family wasn't willing to give up:  Trizyme.  It's an enzyme laundry booster and one of Laura's favorite lau...

Meet Sophie.  We recently adopted her from a dog rescue group.  She's about 3 years old, and 18 pounds of love and fluff. We don't know what breed she is, exactly.  The group we adopted her from said she's part American Eskimo. The vet said she appears to be part corgi. Except Eskies and Corgis have ears that point straight up, and Sophie's ears flop over. Her ears look like border collie ears.  And she does like to try to herd the cats.  Hmmm. When she's wet, her fur curls into little ringlets, like poodle fur.  Maybe she's part poodle. So what does that make her? EskieCorgiPoo? Don't know; doesn't matter. At the shelter, the fur was shaved off over the back half of her body because it was so matted.  Poor pup. We had a really cold, rainy Spring this year, so Laura got Sophie a rain coat to wear on her daily walks.  Her fur's growing back now, but nobody likes a soaking wet dog raining water through the house as she shakes o...
