I didn't know you are a lefty, so am I. My Mom makes beautiful things knitting, crocheting and I am going to find someone who is left-handed to teach me. Love Paco he is one lucky dog!! Our Deke looks just like Paco. Deke is a mixed fox terrier, beagle and we love him so much.

I keep hearing about Pintrest but have yet to check it out. Your candy plates inspire me to take a look ~

Lucky Paco! I wish someone would teach me how to knit or crochet. Three of my children are lefties. I am right handed but I had to learn how to use my left hand so I could show them how to cut, print and write in cursive. Wonder if I could knit left handed...

I know how to crochet and I want to learn to knit!...

I know how to crochet and I want to learn to knit!

You have also been tagged on my blog!

Give me about ten minutes to finish the post though ;)

OMG, your attempts at candy-melting are hysterical.
You have already exceeded what I can do with knitting; I can make one string but could never figure out how to start the next line. LOL!

Oh, pretty, pretty knitting!

Your meet up with Debby looked so fun....one of these days....

Shelley, my niece learned how to knit looking at You Tube videos! She's making awesome scarves now.

I'm going to try that soon.

Good job!

2012-01-06T16:47:27.052-06:00

Ha! When you said you gave Paco some of the gingerbread house I had visions of you having some AFTER - hopefully not - way too much slobber on it after I'm sure.

I love the idea of catching up with other bloggers. I met someone recently (though it was for something else) and it was good to talk to someone who was kinda serious about it as well.

You look like you had a great time!

Matchy Matchy! I love it!

So cool you got to meet Deb. Hopefully I will get to meet you on one of your Cali visits. Would LOVE to meet Jannell too!

2012-01-06T14:29:14.348-06:00

Love the colors and want to learn to knit (I think). I am also a lefty, but do many things (cutting, tennis) righty so I wonder which way I'd go?

2012-01-06T13:33:12.675-06:00

Love the photos of you and Debby and very impressive knitting. I laughed out loud at Paco demonishing the gingerbread house. I don't think it should be filed under bad pet parents, it should be filed under "nom, nom, nom". Look at that tongue! :) have a great Friday Shelley!!!

2012-01-06T12:41:25.663-06:00

Welcome to the world of knitting! I've been a knitter for a long time and really love it. Your stitches look mahvelous dear. Yeah - casting off is important unless you're making a scarf to circumwrap the earth!

Looks like a great day. And I loved Paco's snack - our Wally would be all too happy to clean up Paco's crumbs.

Thanks for your comment yesterday - I gave you a shout out on my post today. Got me thinking...

Yay for new skills! Can you knit me a treadmill? or some abs? Let me know.

2012-01-06T11:14:49.231-06:00

I have a whole board on pinterest titled "food I've made from pinterest" and it's helped me keep track of what i've made and if i liked it or not.

Wow, the commenters were on a roll from this post--a couple of them made me LOL. Paco and the gingerbread house made me LOL.

Now you reminded me of that butter cream froyo again! I had almost managed to forget it.

But mostly, I was SOOO impressed with your knitting. It is so even and perfect! Good job!

Well, I do wish we lived closer. But I guess I should be content that we both have ties in CA and TX,which will probably give us a better chance of seeing each other once in a while than most bloggers. That sure was a fun day.

You and Debby look like sisters...and I love froyo...

2012-01-06T08:46:46.068-06:00

You and Debby look like sisters...and I love froyo. My town now has 2 "shops" and we went to the new on Weds and Thurs night. Time to get those calories back under control.

Paco must have been in heaven! We always let our dog eat human food. Why not?! Some people get so mad at us, but you know what, he's so happy!

2012-01-06T08:11:42.278-06:00

Love meeting bloggers! That's so cool!

And learning to knit? Very impressed. I tried. It wasn't pretty. Love your color scheme. do you take orders? ;)

Paco is adorable. I'm a big fan. Hopefully I'll lose weight and be a smaller fan. LOL

Have a great weekend!

2012-01-06T07:51:00.877-06:00

What a fun meet up! I used to crochet and knit all the time growing up - we didn't have a t.v. until I was in he 8th grade, so that's probably why!

Happy Friday!

I nearly drooled of that frozen yoghurt picture. I would sell my soul for one of those right about now. :p Looks like a fantastic meetup :)

Miz' comment made me laugh out loud. Me too with the Barbie blankie!

I'm still trying not to writhe with jealousy over that meetup - or the fact that you actually had fun.

And now I'm wondering, is it your favorite hamburger place because of the proximity to the frozen yogurt place? Hmmmmmm.....

What a fun and great meet you and Debby had! Love ...

2012-01-06T07:04:40.927-06:00

What a fun and great meet you and Debby had! Love the photos of your meet.

I can knit but it has been years since I've done it. I used to knit my own sweaters with lots of colors and different kinds of wool.

You're the best Mom Paco can get: which dog doesn't want to eat from a gingerbread house.

2012-01-06T05:29:15.711-06:00

Looks like a fun time.....we have one of those frozen yogurt places in town, can't say as I've ever seen avocado flavored! Interesting concept, a minty plate!!!
Got my bike last night, am going to post pictures either later today or tomorrow....I'm excited!

2012-01-06T05:07:50.040-06:00

Im so jealous about the debby meetup.
and the knitting?
that's about where Id be too and then never ever get further than that :)
Id pretend it was a...hankie? barbie blankey?
