Fixed

My camara pluggie thingie the one with tons of prongs keeps getting bent.... pretty soon one of the prongs will break and I will be out of luck in the photography dept. But you don't want to hear all that. You came for some stylin photo so here it is:

By the way did anybody realize I am a major cookie fiend? I am. When I moved into the house my next door neighbor Lynne H brought over some cookies and we got the recipe from her:

Take 2 sticks of butter that are softenend[room temp] and cream with 1 cup of sugar. Mix together half a teaspoon of vinegar and half a teaspoon of baking soda then add to sugar/butter mixture. Fold in a cup and half of flour. Roll into balls and the balls into some sugar. Flatten slightly and bake in preheated 300 degree oven for 20-25 mins until edges are just starting to turn slightly brown. Takes me 20 in my oven and I get about 18-24 cookies using a common tea spoon[not the measuring teaspoon the stir your coffee and tea spoon] but the recipe says 3-4 dozen. Little morsels of goodness using what you most likely have at hand....

hmmmmmm

Ah so yesterday's photo and discussion of projects was way laid by Ms Eco~terrorist in training... you remember View image">this one. See last week she absconded with a tube of toothpaste and smeared its contents all over my couch. I covered the couch with a comforter while the upholstry covers were being washed. I couldn't help but notice that my work cardigan and the comforter looked rather springy in additioin to matching. A photo op! So yesterday when I went to take the picture ~ everybody notice I have been inspired by the non knitting blogs to think about my pictures and go for a whole setting ~ what should I see? Toothpaste! All over the comforter and heartstoppingly near my work knitting. I washed the comforter and replaced the upholstery covers. I arranged the comforter, cardigan and FOF shawl which made up the weekend knitting for a nice springy picture. A picture that would rival any picture in blogdom. Vogue would wish I was its stylist. Yep a killer photo. It won't load. Maybe tomorrow. Til then be amazed by the wondrous photo. We will deal with reality sometime later....
