Playing on Ravelry

Isn't Ravelry the best ever!?  I think I may have 5273 things I want to make!  

Here is a wee sweater (jumper to my friends across the pond) for my new grandbaby that is due in late October.  He/She will have to wear it during the first five days of their life as it is so tiny.  
So fun to make, and she has other 'wee' patterns that I will begin once I find out the gender of the baby on May 28.

Cinco de Mayo

The fifth of May is Mexican Independence Day.  We (especially in Texas) use this excuse to eat lots of Mexican food and drink Margaritas and Mexican Beer.
Many years ago, my sister and her husband, transplanted from Texas, lived in Connecticut and had talked about Cinco de Mayo.  Their friend needed a new fence and so he told all his (Northern) friends that Cinco de Mayo was Mexican Fencing Day and that it was a day that everyone came together to help someone put up a new fence.  It worked!!  He got a bunch of friends to come over and help him build his fence.  

Probably couldn't get away with that today with Facebook and all.

Happy Mexican Fencing Day!
