Another fun Saturday at Grandma's Yarns & Notions!!

Dawn Rene working on her beautiful cardigan; Luanne working on a baby cardigan; I was working on a shawl; Jackie working on her socks; Nicole (FFF) working on leg warmers; Marilyn working on baby cardigan; Angie some wrist warmers; Nancy a cardigan; and new Nicole working on socks and getting to know us. Also the glass guy, Chris learned to knit!:) We have so much fun laughing, giggling, and chatting...I look forward to every Saturday!:) Luanne used to live in the bay area and with all the water conservation she found this recipe....she liked it so well she still makes salmon this way...had to share it because it was too awesome not to! Gotta get me some salmon!

Salmon in a Dishwasher!!

Needs:
salmon fillets
aluminum foil
a lemon
a few butter pats
electric dishwasher
Place the fish on two large sheets of aluminum foil. Squeeze on some lemon juice and place the pats of butter on the salmon fillets. Seal the fillets well in the foil, and place the foil packet in the top wire basket of your electric dishwasher. DO NOT ADD SOAP OR DETERGENT. Close the dishwasher door, set the dishwasher on the hottest wash cycle, complete with drying cycle, and let it run through a full cycle. When the cycle is complete the fish will be cooked just right!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Got some yummy goodies from my guys!

6lbs of local orange blossom honey....chocolate mint tea, creme brulee tea, chocolate covered cherry tea...also a gift certificate to Grandma's Yarns!

Yesterday the owners of Grandma's Yarns gave me this cute gizmo for Mother's Day....isn't it the cutest thing! It looks like a puppy but its hidden scissors, and its lime green, how awesome is that! Had a great time at the knit meet!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day!

I've had a great day relaxing, knitting, napping, knitting!:)

James even had some more fruit trees follow him home today...3 apricot, 2 pear, 1 cherry, 2 plum.....another row to our orchard...36 fruit trees!!! Also some more grape vines hopped in his cart too! Going to be a fruitful summer!:)

Apple Cozy's

Made James an apple cozy for his apple today in his lunch...can't wait to hear what he says about it! Every day at lunch him and his coworkers cut up their fruit they bring and share it...thought they'd get a kick out of James' special fruit!:)

Then it was so cute, I made another to place at the LYS. Its a cute "granny" type of decoration for them since the store is called Grandma's Yarns and Notions. Quick and easy pattern too, you can find it on my ravelry page. While I was crocheting them I watched Hannah Montana the Movie....what an awesome movie, soooo good. Even went and downloaded a few of the songs from itunes! Definitely will be watching it again and again! Even James and Jimmy watched it (I made them) and thought it was good!:)

Remember FREE shipping at wolfefarms.net until Mother's Day...its fast approaching!

Also the FREE lavender soap sample is on the site to try!
