A Bra For Ben?

Benjamin is feeling a bit ridiculous but he's being a good sport about modelling the bra I made for his wife, Wilhelmina. She'll be here in a week or so.

I couldn't very well make her a wardrobe without her having "the proper foundational garments" now could I?

New Shirt for Ben

I finally found some time today to make a couple of shirts for Ben. Both are blue, but one has short sleeves and the other has long.

Looks like maybe next time I should make the long sleeves a wee bit shorter. Still, not bad for a first try.

More Colourful Days

The days are getting hotter, and my "Year in Temperatures Scarf" is becoming more colourful. 

Closest to the needles are the most recent days. Down at the bottom is where I started on January first. 3 rows per day representing the high temperature with the centre row of each a dot that represents the day's low temperature. Each month is bordered by a garter stitch ridge in black.

New Kayakers

With a school closure our granddaughters had an extra day added to the Victoria Day long weekend. We kept them busy today by giving them their first kayaking experience. 

The weather was perfect. Not too hot or too cold and a nice light breeze.

There were a few interesting things to explore. We got up close to a family of turtles sunning themselves on a log.

And watched a mother duck walking her brood along the shore.

Both girls really enjoyed kayaking, but with only two kayaks it meant someone always had to sit out while the other had a turn. We need more kayaks!
