Good morning,
Sometimes you just have to have some comfort food.
My Honey made the sauce for this comfort food, Norwegian Fish Balls. The white sauce included bacon and green onion so it had to be good!
In traditional fashion it is served with boiled potatoes and, of course, at our house with my home made fresh bread.
Can you say "carbs?"

Final Touches
Good morning,
My Honey snapped this picture as I was putting the final touches on the border of a full size Pink Lovers afghan blanket.
So soft and comfy!

Brio Tuscan Grille
Good morning,
We had lunch with friends at Tuscan Brio Grille at Newport on the Levee. This is the second time we've been here and will surely go again.
The lunch menu has plenty of choices and we had no problem finding what we wanted.
It was shrimp for me and...
...grilled chicken for My Honey.
Yum!

Sushi Night
Good morning,
If you are a sushi lover, this image will make you hungry!
My Honey and I enjoyed this sushi with our daughter, Catherine, and a friend. It didn't take us long to clear that tray.
Yum!

What's for Dinner?
Good morning,
This sweet face appeared beside my desk.
She asked, "What's for dinner?"
"Will it be soon?"
"Oh, good! Let's go eat now!"

Another Hibiscus
Good morning,
We have hibiscus in white and many different shades of pink.
Each morning I wake to a new group of blossoms. I just love this color.
We are enjoying the warm weather while we still have it, but sure are looking forward to cool Fall days.

Needlework and Wood Update - August, 2016
Good morning,
It's so hot outside that it's a good time to stay inside and create. This month was another busy one for the knitting needles and crochet hooks! Many of these items are available in the shop.
Be sure to scroll all the way down and see the wood items new this month, too.
Above is a button-side poncho with turtle neck that will be wonderful to have when the weather turns cold. This one was a special order and is already with it's new owner.
These are the colors of a customer's organization and items in these colors so I've made several including the sweater above...
...hat...
...headband...
...and boot cuffs. There are so many different pretty ways to wear the organization's colors!
Last month I showed you hats with intarsia crochet names. This month, these were ordered by the same family for Henry's Dad...
...and Henry's Mom. How very cool!
And, it was restocking time for more caps for the shop.
I made several similar hats in different sizes.
It's never too early for Christmas! Our shop had a Christmas in July promotion and we sold out of the Santa hat ornaments, so I made these to restock.
Luggage Identifiers are also a hot item. :) Don't leave home without them!
My Honey was very busy in his wood workshop this month, too!
These are hand crafted turned wood security whistles that you can keep on your key chain.
Each turned wood item is unique.
These last two are very special.
They are turned of Olive Tree Wood from Bethlehem.
My Honey has made more hand crafted turned wood bird house ornaments, too.
Each one of these is more beautiful than the last.
There will be many more wood items coming next month.
Thanks for getting this far in this long post. If you'd like to go take a look, I've got a coupon for you to use in our shop:
We sincerely appreciate everyone who visits and shops at our little on line store.
Thanks, and we now return to our regularly scheduled blogging. ;)
All the best,
Lois
