Pretty Things

Thank you all again for your kind words. I really do have the best readers! You all will be glad to know that we visited Dr. Al, husband of Blogless Sharon, yesterday and he says that everything is healing as it should be. It's going to take time before his aches and pains are gone but we are very relieved to know that he is getting better.

So, let's move on, shall we? I feel like there's been way too much ugliness these last few days so how about if we look at some pretty things for a change?

Like spinning. Indigo Moon fiber in the perfect March Project Spectrum Color.

And new socks. Cider Moon Icicle in Avocado. I'm anticipating April's Project Spectrum with this colorway.

How about some daffodils? No, they aren't from my garden but they were table decorations at Randy's birthday party. They sure make me yearn for spring!

And finally, Hannah. The prettiest thing ever.

Hello Hannah! Mom's right ya know. I'm happy to hear all is going well. I know your family is one for having fun, now there will be a scar to prove it. I hope it quickly fades to a distant memory and that this turns out to be the very worst this year has to offer. On to the good things!

We're still waiting on daffodils to bloom here, too. It's so good to hear that Dale is healing well and all that springy fiber soon is nice eye candy. However, you're right about Hannah!

Hugs to you and the family Carole!
I had not popped in here at the blog in a couple days -- but luckily Shae sent me an email all about Dale --- ouch.

Knit away it is always comforting.

Hannah is BEAUTIFUL!! Your other things are too but she's exceptional!
Glad Dale is healing well...you guys need a weekend trip somewhere!

Lots of pretty things here today....but you are right...Hannah is the prettiest of them all!

Posted by: Kim at March 26, 2008 8:08 AM

All are so beautiful!

Posted by: Crystal at March 26, 2008 8:12 AM

That's a terrific picture of Hannah! Did you take that with your new camera?

Your spinning looks fabulous and so does your sock. I love that Avocado colorway (it's perfectly named).

So pretty!

Posted by: Wool Winder at March 26, 2008 8:40 AM

That's a wonderful photo of Hannah.
I'm glad Dale is healing well.

Posted by: Karen at March 26, 2008 8:44 AM

I'm glad Dale's doing well! Definitely time to look at pretty things. :)

Posted by: Chris at March 26, 2008 8:49 AM

I love the colors of the Indigo Moon fiber and the Cider Moon Icicle in Avocado.

Those are some of my favorite colors!

Lots of beauty at your house. Your daughter is stunning! I noticed you didn't include Dale's stitches on the pretty list :-)

Posted by: leslie at March 26, 2008 10:00 AM

She sure is pretty!!

Posted by: scoutj at March 26, 2008 10:04 AM

Well that is good news that everything's healing up. What an ordeal.

Posted by: Cheryl at March 26, 2008 10:34 AM

I covet that Cider Moon! Are they back in production, or did you go stash diving?

Great pic of Hannah! Would she kill me if I said she looks like Brooke Shields? ;o)

Posted by: elizabeth at March 26, 2008 10:51 AM

I'm impressed that Hannah lets you take so many photos AND post them. What an agreeable kid!

PS -- "Dr. Al, husband of Blogless Sharon" sounds like a sort of superhero identity :)

Posted by: Danielle at March 26, 2008 10:52 AM

Pretty it is! It's great to hear all will be well with Dale - in no time he'll be back on the pretty list :)

Posted by: michelle at March 26, 2008 11:13 AM

There is something about youth that is always inexplicably lovely to me. Hannah has that and a natural prettiness that transcends her youthfulness.

She's also rockin' some styling highlights. ;)

I'm glad that Dale's better and that you're feeling more like yourself. You're a very strong woman, Carole, so I understand just how much this must have shaken you to have the impact it did.

xo.

All of it is beautiful!

Posted by: Manise at March 26, 2008 11:35 AM

I'm happy to hear that Dale is healing and doing well. :o)

Beautiful spinning - and I love the colors in that sock yarn!

Hannah is growing into a very pretty young lady. :o)

Posted by: JessaLu at March 26, 2008 11:42 AM

What a beautiful young lady.

Posted by: Cookie at March 26, 2008 12:21 PM

Oh, Indigo Moon, how I miss thee.

Posted by: Anne at March 26, 2008 12:41 PM

That's such a nice picture of Hannah! And your spinning looks great! Is that another rainbow batt?

Posted by: Kathy at March 26, 2008 1:07 PM

Ooohhhh pretty spinning. I'm appreciating those photos more than ever now.

Hannah is a doll! Keep a close eye on that one. Has Dale loaded the shotgun yet?

Posted by: ~Kristie at March 26, 2008 2:35 PM

Good news and prettiness all around!
(((hugs)))

I never realized that I liked daffodils until I bought some at the store. They were just stalks - or so it seemed...then after a couple of days - they opened up and were just gorgeous!!! I;ll buy them again for sure!!!

Posted by: Sara at March 26, 2008 2:53 PM

wow hannah is so beautiful. she looks like a young brooke shields, doesn't she?

let's hope she keeps something between her and her calvins though. *cough*

Posted by: maryse at March 26, 2008 2:53 PM

Hey, what's with the yearning? You have crocuses in your yard already. We still have snow.

Lovely pix, although in my completely unbiased opinion Miss B could give Hannah a run for her money.

Posted by: Lucia at March 26, 2008 3:08 PM

She's got a Brooke Shields vibe...but even prettier! I'm glad the week is much more non-eventful. You've had your quota. Spring is almost here!

Posted by: Bossygirl at March 26, 2008 3:28 PM

Lovely, consistent spinning and that sock yarn -- pretty!

Hannah is growing up! She and M are both going through that transition where we can now see how they'll look in their 20's. Pulls at my heart strings...

Posted by: Sylvia at March 26, 2008 4:37 PM

Definitely prettier than the pictures of the last couple days--I'm glad Dale is healing as he should!

Posted by: --Deb at March 26, 2008 6:11 PM

Hi, Hannah! Cider Moon yarn really is pretty.

Posted by: Emily at March 26, 2008 7:23 PM

I was awaiting shades of green, but not in the form of socks. Seriously, glad that Dale is doing well. Thoughts for his quick recovery. And yes, Hannah is beautiful!

Posted by: Catie at March 26, 2008 10:27 PM

Hey, I'm sure happy to arrive when the pretty things are up to cushion the blows... between the injured hubby and the almost-burnt down house, I am sure glad things didn't get any worse, dear friend:) I spent Easter weekend sick (yes, yet again!), but it was calmer than at your place... Tell Hannah her hair is lookin' really good.

Posted by: Birdsong at March 27, 2008 12:42 AM

ooohh those colors of the Indigo Moon have me absolutely gaa gaa :-D
And Hannah is pretty gorgeous too (grin)

Posted by: Teyani at March 27, 2008 5:15 AM

P>S> in my sleepy haze, I forgot to say how delighted I am that Dale is on track with improving. that is very very good news.
My Dad, (the MD) would most likely perscribe some advil, and a couple of hot toddies (huge grin). Give him a hug, and have him hug you back. We are so very grateful that it was not a permanent injury.

Posted by: Teyani at March 27, 2008 5:19 AM

Very pretty things, indeed! I love the color of the Indigo Moon fiber. And that photo of Hannah is gorgeous!

Posted by: Rachel at March 27, 2008 8:05 AM

What a lovely photo of Hannah! That would make a great yearbook photo.

Posted by: Martha at March 27, 2008 1:36 PM

I've been under a rock and therefore missed the harrowing saga of Dale's injury. But thank goodness he's on the mend!

And you're right about Hannah, she's ridiculously photogenic. As is your Icicle yarn, sigh!

Posted by: Beth S. at March 27, 2008 4:13 PM

Very pretty pretties! Especially that last one there :)

Love your new socks! Lord I miss Cider Moon :(
