I just made a homemade Strawberry Pie!  So, alright I didn't make the crust, but my only ingredients were strawberries, water, sugar, corn starch and salt.  How's that for being a Betty.  What's a Betty?  A Betty is Susie Homemaker magnified.  Famous Betty's  The original Betty is of course Betty Crocker, then we have Martha Stewart, Emily Post, etc.  Well, long ago my Mom , who was a Betty - run- amok,  dubbed me a Betty Wannabe.   I had my heart in the right place , but lacked the know how.  So I have been on a quest ever since to rectify the situation.  My lasted stab is a year of recipes from a very Southern cookbook.  The pie was my first.  I' ll get a pic and post reviews from friends later.

Friday Night Art.

Went to Spirited Arts in Knoxville last night.  Wine and an art class.   Our class was on  a Georgia O'Keefe' poppy painting.    And here's what came out of it.

Helping Madre....

So Shadow decided to become my IT help for the day.

And then I took a picture of Nory because she was still.

Going to Cali.

The first 3 pictures are what I saw every morning on the way to the yarn show.   My friends live a couple of blocks from the coast. 

The last two is my yarn score... it does not show the patterns and books.  Other highlights are part of stash or project pictures on Ravelry.

Old fads at their best

Wow

Yes those are apron chaps!
