Crazy Color Warming Collar

You know me...I had to crochet one of these in living CRaZY CoLOR!

Tonight we're going to the Magic Kingdom for their lighted evening Christmas parade and fireworks!

Isn't the Christmas Blackboard cute? Hop over and visit Nicky's blog at "Momma Gets Real" to see more of her adorable home and beautiful treasures.

She's A Beauty!

Hi Ya'll !

It's a beautiful day - warm and sunny and no humidity!

Today we swapped out our golf cart for a better one. Hubby is pleased - this one isn't so war weary as the last one.

It didn't take long to cut the plastic tie tags and remove the Christmas decorations. After lunch we re-applied the decorations to the new golf cart. She's a beauty but not the only beauty to show you. I couldn't resist showing off my crocheted throws on her...Waikiki Wildflowers, Jingle Bells and Candy Cane.

The other beauty to present to you is my Asian Jade Warming Collar. It's thisclose to being done but the last step will have to wait until I'm home that is unless Hubby takes me to a Joann Fabrics store to find a jewel of a button. Rather than the crocheted ties with the Pom Poms as the pattern instructs I'm thinking of a crocheted tab with a pretty button closure instead.

I did have to add a few more rows of double and triple crochet stitches to fit my neck size. I wish I had enough yarn to crochet a pair of matching fingerless mittens.

So there you have my two beauties today...a re-decorated Christmas golf cart and my Asian Jade Warming Collar.

Thanks for visit me!

I wanted to let you know I've been blogging while down here in Florida but without WiFi I'm limited to using my iPhone with it's 3G network. Luckily my Blogger app is working so I can post but as you can see I can't insert photos where I would like to - the Blogger app puts them all at the end of the post. I would like to post larger photos but just to make sure my posts publish I've limited the size. The other problem I noticed, which just started about a week ago, is that none of my comments on your blogs, that I type in via my iPhone, will publish anymore. I type in a comment and hit publish and my comment disappears. It's very frustrating to say the least. So I'm sorry I can't leave comments but it isn't because I'm not visiting you!

So long!

Warming Collar

I bought two skeins of variegated Loops & Thread yarn a while ago and they just sat in my stash until I saw this cute Warming Collar pattern on Crafty Begonia's blog.

Loops & Threads Silky Soft Worsted 100% acrylic yarn is one of my favorite yarns. It's so soft and easy to work. This one is called "Asian Jade" - color 06909. Today I decided to start crocheting the warming collar - hopefully it will be easy to adjust the size on this collar if it needs to be larger.

It's another relaxing day down here in Florida. We sat outside this morning in our lawn chairs and after a light lunch we rode up to the store. We also made reservations for three special events this week - one at Magic kingdom Tuesday, another at Epcot on Thursday and the last one here at Ft. Wilderness next Saturday. I'll post about them as they occur.

We saw our first turkeys today strolling through the camp loop. Do you think it is possible they knew Thanksgiving was last week and to keep out of sight? I didn't get a good photo of them to show you.

I promised Hubby to fix him another home cooked spaghetti supper tonight. The last one was so good. I better get going cuz I'm getting hungry.
