The second spray of my orchid plant opened up and is much more glorious then the first. And here is Daisy drying. I am packing up my craft room to have it remodeled and can't find a single button. Wow, a reason to shop:)
I still need a zipper for my BPT, too.
Meanwhile, my order from Four Seasons Knitting Products came. Lovely, lovely, squishy Koigu. I'm in love! (and so is Totoro!) I wanted a solid for Cascading Leaves. And the blue? I just had to have it. I got a bit of a scare on my first time ordering from Four Seasons when I didn't hear from them, but the owner was away! She even expedited the shipping for me when she returned.
I experimented with cel phone picture sent to Flickr. Ain't technology grand? It's a good example of why more pixels are better! I had to adjust the color since the flower was a very yellow hibiscus.
I miss decorating Easter Eggs with the kids, since they are kids no more. Have a nice Sunday everyone, on this the last of the "chocolate" holidays until Halloween!
Ooh I almost forgot. My mini sushi stitch markers from Amyville arrived. I ordered them after mkcarroll illustrious designer of The Womb showed me hers. They are just so cute!

Oooh that Bpt is gorgeous! I do like that squashy orange color. Think of the blue koigu as your reward for knitting out of your comfort zone, now you can return to blue!!

Your BPT is gorgeous!! I love the longer length. And when did Daisy come about?! I just blink my eye and you go and finish not one, but TWO sweaters. ;-) They're both beautiful! And both are so perfect for Project Spectrum, too! Ooh, your Koigu is so pretty! I really like the solid colors- so glad to hear that everything worked out with Four Seasons. What a relief that must've been. Your blooms are beautiful...looking forward to seeing those sushi stitch markers! Did you get maki or nigiri? ;-) Hope you had a wonderful Easter... take care, Barb! :-)
Thank you for your kind comments on my Rainbow Sherbet socks. I love your Bpt sweater - I haven't seen that pattern before, now it's on my 'To Do' list. That Daisy sweater is really sweet as well - you've been a busy girl! Is it difficult to be a knitter in such a warm climate? Where I live (near Buffalo NY) we need all the warm sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens...we can get.
What a gorgeous orchid! Wish we had your climate here in New England. Love your sweaters. And if you ever want pewter buttons, check out the http://www.letsknit.com site. They have a great selection.

Oh that Bpt is so gorgeous!! That was fast.
Daisy is such a pretty color, too.
Oh, very nice orange color on your BPT. You must show us your underarm!
You have beautiful flowers. I'd love to try to grow orchids. Someday, when I don't have a toddler! The BPT looks fab, and now I'll have to give that pattern another look.
I clicked the link to see the sushi stitch markers and they are FAB-U-LOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your BPT by the way.... I need to make something big like that someday soon.....
