Help Those affected by Hurricane Isaac

Butter Blossoms by MyShopGirl on Etsy

As the water recede, people are starting to pick up their lives and start anew.  Can you help?  Tropical Storm Isaac was quite destructive.  I know because I've seen some damage with my own eyes.

I'm donating $1 for each Butter Blossoms hair accessories that you purchase.  Buy one for yourself, your mother or your your best friend.  Just buy one today. You will be helping out those affected by the storm.  It's an easy way of donating and you get something pretty to remind you of your participation.

remnant of tropical storm Isaac

The rain bands from tropical storm Isaac have dissipated.   It doesn't mean we won't get more rain, but the sun is attempting to come out and the frogs are singing triumphantly.  No damage in my area, just a lot of flooding in yards, and some streets.  Tornado's touched down and damaged properties further south.   To my knowledge, no one has been hurt.  Quite a day for us, but everyone else has to deal with tomorrow...

Yikes! Hurricane a comin'

Tropical Storm Isaac has me indoors with the puppy.  Thankfully I prepared ahead of time with batteries, water, snacks, and a brand new magazine.  It's a special issue called Peyote Stitch and it's out by Bead and Button. If we didn't have a storm coming, I probably wouldn't have stopped at the magazine rack.  Actually, I was looking for potato chips and the rack was right behind me so I opted to look for knitting magazines.  That's when I spotted it.  It looks great with 25 projects.  There is an article on learning the secrets of Peyote and How to Read a Peyote Pattern.   As you know, I attempted to learn peyote a couple of weeks ago.  I even made a couple of rings.  But I'm still not grasping the concept of the stitch.  Herringbone is finally making sense, but Peyote is a not so much.  I need someone to hold my hand on that one.  I am thrilled with the new magazine.  I'm hoping they do a special magazine for all the stitches.  So with a chicken in the oven (store bought, not the one from the yard), and a new magazine, that's how I'm spending my day.  Is the weather keeping you down?
