What Makes You Happy?

Finally getting some time to get out a post! Sorry, it's been a while. But many happy things and FO's follow so cruise on down the list of things that make me happy!

Spring!
I think it's finally here or at least very close. The grass is getting greener, leaves are starting to bud out and the weather has a hint of warmth to it. Yippee!



Minnie
Love tea and anything to do with it. So when out visiting in Minnesota what do I spy but a beautiful orange (be still my heart) beehive tea pot. Lovingly hand carried all the way back to Boston. Aptly named because she was found in Minnesota.



Finished Objects (FO's)
Finally some finished projects. The unfinished ones and ones waiting to be cast on baffle my brain but at least there are a few finally done.


The Meghan Shawl Collared Cardigan, A WEB's pattern


Clapotis in Noro Silk Garden Lite


Nutkin Socks in Koigu

Still working on the Bubbly Curtain, a plain shawl for M, the Everlasting Bagstopper from Knitty and some socks which I think will be frogged. Waiting to be cast on are M's wedding shawl (she LOVED the yarn) and a sweater for S (who moves to Chicago next month, condo finally sold).

Achieving Dreams
This past weekend we went out to Minnesota to visit with B and M as well as attend B's White Coat ceremony. This signifies the "end" of actual school and the beginning of clinical rotations. The students are "coated" with their short white official lab coats for use in their intern and externships over the next year. It is a big step and I am so proud of B. He has from the time he was born wanted to become a veterinarian. He is so happy and I am thrilled to see him able to achieve his dream. It's hard to believe in a year he will graduate and begin practicing as well as get married.



We had a great visit despite the nasty aborted landing into Minnesota, the snow and missing the Harlot (I checked the airport for her) and Franklin. It was great to meet some of B and M's friends, see where they hang out, spend some time with them and we got to meet Dory their horse and watch M ride her. M's dad also came out and we had a good time traipsing around. I even got to visit a yarn store out there, the Yarnery, which was a lovely shop. A great trip.

So just a few of the things that make me happy, what about you?
