Things That Are Blue

Today has been a very "blue" day. Not blue as in "sad blue" because it was actually quite a lovely day but because the color blue keeps popping up. Perhaps it was because I was wearing a blue t-shirt, I'm not sure. But these wonderful blue creations crossed my path today.

Is this a crochet hook or is this a crochet hook? This was a GIFT from my friend KERRY. I'm quite sure I don't know what I did to deserve such a present like this just out of the blue (haha, get it?), but regardless, I love it and I'm keeping it. It's an "I" which is a hook size I use all the time. Spoiled, that's what I am. Thanks Kerry!

Here's something else that's blue -

Some of you may remember my co-worker, Iris, who selected the two names for the Heartmade Blessings baskets that weren't really baskets but actually boxes. A few weeks ago I gave Iris some Lion Brand Jiffy yarn so that she could crochet a blanket for her grandson. Well Iris decided her grandson had enough blankets and that this one should go to Project Linus. Yay Iris! Is she a sweetheart or what? And it's even got the "Tabby Seal of Approval"!

Did you know that bluebells are a wildflower in Northern Virgina? I quite blatantly stole this picture from this website - http://www.pwconserve.org/issues/floraandfauna/flora/ . Hopefully by posting the link they won't send me off to prison for copyright infringement. What do bluebells and Virginia have to do with moi? Well I'm getting a little tired of California and I'm contemplating a move. Maybe to Virginia. But rumor has it that it's very humid there and I can't say I'm crazy about humidity. But really, who is?

And now a little "Made In Canada" contest blue. Two lovely skeins of Berry Blue. For the wise person who knows the answer to the following question, "What three-layered dessert is named after a city in British Columbia?"

But the very best blue in the entire world are the eyes of a baby kitten ...
