Coulon Beach

Recently we went walking at one of our favorite parks; It's called Coulon Beach and has walking trails, a play ground, a swimming area, a boat dock, and a couple of restaurants. Here's a couple of photos from our recent time there. 

As you probably know, our Seattle Seahawks played in the Super Bowl today, and maybe these statues dressed in their team colors helped them win!  Soon they will probably be dressed for Valentine's Day.

This beautiful eagle was surveying the landscape!

And this is one of the turtles in Lake Washington sunbathing. We are so glad that we went on when we did because it's rained ever since!

Have a great week!

The Booties Are Done!

 Here they are! Now we have to wait until this little girl decides to arrive!

Another Baby Hat and Booties Coming Up!

Just finished this It's My Party Hat for a baby that is supposed to arrive soon.  On to the F310 100% Angora Baby Booties for that baby. One of which needs to be sewn up, but the second one is already on the needles.

 

Mama's Hat!

 

Mama liked baby's hat so much, she wanted one, too. I had to modify the pattern because it became way, too big, so the only thing I used was the number of stitches and the extra rows of strawberry seeds.  (It took me longer to finish it because I had to have surgery for a gallstone which was really weird because I had my gall bladder removed years ago!)

I made the leaves on the new hat match the ones on the baby's hat as you can probably see.  That was a bit of a challenge because there are more stitches in the leaves than in the smaller one.

Have a nice evening!

Strawberry Hat

Our neighbor requested a strawberry hat for her little one, and here it is. I am giving it to her soon. She and her husband met on the Pacific Crest Trail!

Here's one of my favorite plants! It's a goldfish plant.; can you guess why?

Not too much else to report, so have a great day!

Happy New Year!

 

Our grand daughter requested a pair of socks a while ago, and I finally finished them! We delivered them yesterday, and she put them right on. They fit! Now I need to finish the hat she asked for along with lots of other unfinished projects. Let 2026 begin.

This amaryllis was given to us in early December as a bulb, actually 2 bulbs, and now it's going crazy!  Isn't it huge?

Have a great 2026! 

 

Happy Holidays!

We have had this manger for many years! It was built by our next door neighbor in San Diego. At that time the local grocery store had a new figure every week, and as you can tell, I got them.

We see lots of different versions of these reindeer in our neighborhood, and it's fun to see them on our walks.

Here in Washington it gets dark pretty early this time of year, so it's nice to have lights on the trees in our yard.

Guess what I've been doing lately?  I love to take cookies to our neighbors, and this year made 4 different batches as well as one of cupcakes. These are meringue cookies, one of my favorite recipes.
