8/03 TT22 arrived today with a sweet postcard from Beth! We were under a heat advisory today so I took “Skipperdee”(my nickname for her from the book Eloise)down to our stream to cool off after her hot trip. Our stream is named Charles Run and it feeds into the Gunpowder River which is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay!
8/19 Alas, Skipperdee didn’t have a very exciting week last week…my grandson’s daycare closed unexpectedly…need I say more? And three of those days we were under a heat advisory! She did get to play with my grandson and seemed enamored with the Black Eyed Susan’s-the Maryland State Flower! Yesterday Skipperdee was quite the star of the show at the biweekly Sit&Stitch at the Hereford Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library…no one had seen a hexagon loom before so she received a great deal of attention
8/27 Last weekend Skipperdee came with me to The Perennial Farm in Glen Arm and of course we decided that I needed to buy a Chelone(Turtlehead plant)…we couldn’t decide whether to get the pink or white…so now I will have two plants to remind me of her visit! Today Skipperdee accompanied me to work at Black Sheep Yarn Store and seemed to enjoy playing (can you find her on the fingering wall?)with all the yarn!
9/2 Alas my visit from TT22 has come to an end and mailed her off this morning! I was ever hopeful that the turtleheads would bloom before she left, but as you can see they are looking more like a turtlehead…as for my project it is clearly a WIP(but of course I already have my own Tiny Turtle for completion) and plan to make a cowl…used Noro Silk Garden for the outer petals and Ito Shimo for the center…safe travels TT22!
