MMmmmmmm

Every year one of my nieces makes her pilgrimage to my home to give me a box of Turtles for Valentines Day. Not the reptile with the shell. These are pecans, cashews and caramel covered in milk chocolate. And ok, so it's not a pilgrimage really. She lives upstairs while I live downstairs, in our duplex.

I've been good. I only ate 2. Because I could eat them in a couple of blinks really. My tastes are simple. I know there are better brands of chocolates with fancier names and all that, but I do like these. A lot.

Between knitting my lace scarf, I knit some wire and bead votive sleeves. Not bad. I didn't use a pattern, though I know they exist somewhere. It was just a sidetrack from the lace knitting. I like them. I'll make more since I have lots of wire and beads.

My Jelly Fish. A quickie crochet about 3" long including tentacles.


And finally, I have to tell you my strange dream. I dream a lot, usually pretty vivid and in color. I used to have a dream dictionary that was 'borrowed' and never returned so I stopped trying to figure my dreams out a long time ago.

In my dream my friend and I went to a shop. I was going to get my first tattoo. I went around the shop checking out designs, I couldn't find anything I liked. In the meantime he decided to get one while I was checking things out. When he was done, I still hadn't picked anything out. So he showed me a picture of one of the 7 dwarfs, from Snow White. I can't remember which one (it better not have been dopey!) I told him I wouldn't get a Disney character tattoo. He said, the dwarfs aren't a Disney invention, they have a long history and Disney cashed in on them (or something like that.)

So I get in a chair and this woman starts my tattoo process. Of course, I was done in an instant, it's my dream after all. So we went to a liquor store after that (don't ask me why the liquor store, I hardly ever drink alcohol) and when I went to show the guy behind the counter my tattoo, he laughed at me... I was so sad. So I looked at the tattoo and it was a drawing with a pen! What's up with that?

One more thing. I bought a new pattern. Can't wait to start but it goes in my knitting 'queue' for now. It's Wicked from Zephyr Style. Love it!
