Kitchen Towelette Complete!

Kitchen Towelette Complete!

Yippee!!!  It’s all done!  😀  I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out…I used one of the variations of the pattern provided by Isela Phelps, the one specifically for 40 pegs of a fine gauge loom.  I think it turned out a tad shorter than the orginal might have been meant to be, but I like it!  I think it should be used for a face cloth, or finger towel…which of course, I’m sure is why the word “Towelette” is in the name, lol!

This is (was…I’m a tad late!) the project for the July Ravelry Loom Along.  Once again, very fun knit!  But towards the end, my goal was just to finish, as I have other plans for that fine gauge loom.  No peeking!  I’ll let you know when it’s done, then you can see.  I might even share the pattern with you~ *wink*wink*  😉
Have a fabulous Friday!!!

Jungle Gym~

We intended on making a day trip to the beach on Saturday, but once we drove an hour away from home, we heard a clunk, and then grinding in our driver’s side rear wheel.  The were just outside of Raymond, WA…a very small, sleepy town.  We slowly ground our way to the nearest parts store to see where the nearest tire shop was.  They didn’t bother to tell us at the time that none of the 3 were actually open on Saturday!  😛  We still had about 40 minutes more to drive to get to Long Beach, and we just didn’t want to risk damaging the car, or worse, injuring ourselves or others in an accident.  We knew we had to head back home. 

But before we left Raymond, we stopped at this really neat park that we found while searching for the tire shops.  This park is entirely formed of concrete, metal and re-bar…all shaped into a jungle theme.  Very COOL!!!  I put together this little video, so you can see what a neat park this was, and how much fun we had just hanging out.  We didn’t get to the beach, but all was not lost…we had fun just being together!  🙂

BTW: I’m still struggling with the video process…this is kind of blurry, as I couldn’t get my computer to save this file into anything but half quality without crashing…then it loses a bit more when uploading to the web.  But you’ll get the idea.  It’s still fun to watch!

PS:  The grinding noise stopped soon out of Redmond.  As soon as we got home we took the car straight to Les Schwab’s…Guess What?  They couldn’t find anything wrong!  I guess fate decided that Saturday was not the day for us to go to the beach!  We’ll try again another day.  🙂

Perfectly Executed Parry & Thrust… ;)

Yesterday, while in the car on a family trip, my daughters were being quite goofy in the backseat.  My younger, of course, was the silliest of the two.  After she had displayed some rather over the top rambunctiousness… my elder daughter said,

“You know…all I want for Christmas this year is to have a bright sister.”

To which my youngest promptly replied,

“Why?  I haven’t minded not having one for years!”

 

Aren’t kids great?!  You just can’t beat them for comedy relief!  😀
