Another Hankie Keeper ---still in a Christmas Theme!

Seems are our whole nation is under a heat wave, although you would never believe that here as we have very cool temperatures this morning...I sat outside with a knitted reading shawl this morning it was so cool, more like a fall morning...
I am heading out for a class in CROCHET so I need to begin as I begin each day with my my MUFFIN TO LOSE with Butter and cup of joe... As I will be out most of the day, I will bring my other half of muffin... Again, no surprise to me, but maybe still to most of you who just cannot believe that this will fill you up... it does otherwise I would still not be eating them... nor would the thousands of you who are trying them... READ about them here...

Speaking of HOT, I want to keep cool so I am still making Christmas theme Hankie keepers this week.

Doesn't this look like a Christmas morning, all these Christmas hankies....which by the way for those who are seeking them, EBAY is your best chance.. LOOK for the BUY NOW ones...sometimes there are such deals to be had, I never pay more than $2.00 each unless it is a vintage one that I want to use to tuck into my hankie keepers... I will go as high as $10.00 but I don't do that often...
I have quite a few now, so I won't be bidding or seeking anymore for awhile...My girlfriends, 2 of them in the estate auction business.. brought over 3 boxes total of hankies...
I am going to put some on the line before I go, the winds are so high they will be dry in an hour...

I found this vintage cup and square saucer years ago.....I chose it this morning as it seemed a perfect match....

Here they are together...I have quite a few reds and whites so I will be making more of these with different hankies for the rest of the week and certainly practising some crochet stitches...


Update from this morning....before I go off to class...

Sumatra was under the weather these past few days, but today she is herself again. She has allergic conjunctivitis which resulted in a VET visit and now she has an appt for some dental work...We were not going to go there, but as we got a second opinion, we decided to go ahead...She is my constant companion and as her KEEPER we are solely responsible to give her a good LIFE...
I am most certainly coming back as a CAT....lol and I have to find a KEEPER like me lol

This is what she was looking at...turned out some strong winds came through waving my garden flag like a sail.....

So I washed some BLUE hankies and got them on the line....everyone of these are in blue hues...
some are so exquisite I can hardly wait to make them into hankie keepers for our blue lovers out there...

David and I are heading out this evening to hear an author about the Dorito Effect...what food flavorings are doing to our foods... will share that tomorrow...


In The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker will be speaking on the approach to the nation's number-one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor - the tastes we crave - and the underlying nutrition.
