Here are some things I am sending out today. I belong to a couple of “charity” knitting groups at ravelry.com and these are for the mid-April through mid-May projects.


These are some funky scarves knitted up for a domestic violence shelter in Pennsylvania.


These button cuffs were quick and fun to make. There is a buttonhole in one end that hooks with one of the buttons at the other.


These are called Tribbles – after Star Trek’s The Trouble with Tribbles, of course. They are quick to make and multiply like crazy. (thus the name) They are great exfoliators.

The cuffs and tribbles are going to Annie’s Gifts in Pennsylvania to a group of women who receive chemo treatments weekly for cancers.

This is in response to Velvet Verbosity’s 100 Word Challenge. The prompt this week is FAMILY. Please be sure to check out the 100 words others have written.

She looked out her window and watched kids playing below.

“Twenty years I’ve been in this office. People have come and gone; yet I’m still here. Not sure why, but there you have it. And, it’s really not crazy for me to sit here talking to myself, either.”

The full OUT basket waited to be picked up by her assistant. Much had been accomplished on a very full day. Cases had been opened, others closed and lives had been changed.

One file lay open awaiting her signature. She picked up her pen and sighed. Terminating family rights is never easy.

This is another response to VV’s 100 Word Challenge: Bathed.
————————————–
Annie’s hair shone in the sunlight. The sounds of children playing brought dimples to her face, joy to her heart.

“Cinderella dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss her fellow.”

“Mama, the kids bothering you?” asked Rilla.

Annie shook her head and took a roll from her tray with shaking hands.

“I was startled when I walked in and saw you bathed in the sun. You’re just like an angel rocking there. I love you, Mama. I will miss you when you leave us.”

Annie patted Rilla’s hand, another smile crinkling her eyes. “I know, child. I love you, too.”

Y=Yawn

Today’s A to Z Challenge letter is Y.

How perfect is it that the letter for today is Y? I am one of (apparently) millions of people who stayed up all night to watch the royal doings.

Being in Alaska has some drawbacks when what you want to see is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy over across the pond. 4 a.m. on the East coast is midnight in Alaska. So I stayed up – mostly. Set my cell phone alarm to go off at periodic times to make sure I was AWAKE enough to see.

The kiss was so quick I almost missed it. Nice to see him do an instant replay.

Love is in the air –
