June is Gone...sigh

 Hi Dear Blog Readers....I am trying to grasp that today is the last day of June.  2024 is half over...How????  LOL

This week has been crazy busy.  We have had five close family members in the hospital across Western NY with various major surgeries and ailments.  The worst one is my dad.  He will be in the hospital a day or two more then go on to rehab. He is in no shape to leave the hospital yet.  

Hospital waiting is good for knitting.  Ric Rac shawl is easy to pick up and put down.  The softness of the yarn is very nice in my hands as I sit there wondering what will happen to dad.

Ruth finished up her socks...Hermonie  pattern

The hat is all jamiesons Shetland yarn from her stash. Pattern is Riggies hat by Gudrun Johnston.


Martha got this nice peace fleece yarn at Harrisville on her way back from vacation. She does not know what it will be yet. Love the colors.

She started a new sock... Arcane Finer Works yarn, excellent dying,  She made up the pattern with stripes because the yarn is soft I wanted the stripes to maintain the structure of the sock.

Here is her finished hat. She will gift it to her daughter's bf at some point. 

We have Charlotte this weekend because the kids are at a wedding  in Florida.  Tiffany is helping with her A LOT while I'm at  the hospital with dad. She is 7 months, so a lot of work. She is  a good little girl.

She was underwhelmed looking at Craig's list with grampa

We got her a little short set to hang out in this weekend. Too bad the weather has been sooo rainey.


Aunt Mindy came to meet her for the first time.



 Martha's husband built a rock garden....I love it....so tranquil.

She saw a porcupine!


Have a good week dear blog readers....Happy July

I'm so sorry that your Dad is not well. That is hard. Little Charlotte must be a ray of sunshine for you. The rock garden is lovely. Take good care.

I forgot to say that your jam looks delicious - previous post but I am catching up after being gone. Is it strawberry freezer jam? I used to make that when the kids and I went to a u-pick strawberry farm.

I hope all of your family members heal fast. I'm sorry to read your dad is unwell, may he feel better soon so you worry less. Love the shawl!!
