Major Cuteness (aka Killian) On Vacation

My brother in law takes awesome photos. They recently got back from vacation at Myrtle Beach and this is one of the photos he took for me. I love taking pictures as well but I'm not as good at it as he is and I only have a digital camera. There's still a lot to be said about the wonders of a good 35mm camera. Which reminds me, it's about time to con him into coming over and taking some updated family photos. The kids grow and change so fast...it's past time for some new ones. I was on the phone with my sister when she said something about the moon on the water so my BIL snapped this photo for me...I did adjust it a bit so you could see the water a little better. I think it 's a pretty cool photo.

This one might get me in trouble but I couldn't resist. This is what you call "a Kodak moment". My brother in law, Barry and son, Killian...the major cuteness himself. You just can't resist a photo like this. It's so sweet. Note to sister.....SCRAPBOOK! This one has to go in!

"MC" should have been a fish. I have never seen a child love the water as much as he does. He finally got to jump in! The pool at home is too deep but this one was just the ticket. He's such a daredevil....man, are his parents in trouble. lol

Last one, I promise. This is the cup cozy I made him to take on vacation. The one everyone kept stopping to ask about. He also has one to use when he is here while Mom and Dad work. I only have a few more to make and everyone will have one. I've thrown mine in the washer and dryer and it's still holding up great.

Okay, I'm done with all the cuteness...for now. I gotta go get that other slipper finished. I'm about half way done now and then finish the dishcloth dress I have OTN for my neighbor.

I'll be back on in a bit with my Wordless Wednesday.

My Can Cozy....No You Can't Have It...lol

This is my cute little can cozy....yeah, I actually got to keep this one. I knit my nephew a cup cozy (didn't get a photo before he left for the beach) for his sippy cups. His was done flat and seamed up the side. It had no bottom...just slips on and off the cup easily. He took it to the beach and my sister called to say she has been stopped several times by people who wanted to know what it was and where she got it. One lady who is a fellow knitter told my nephew that he was obviously loved very much since it was made for him to keep his little hands from getting cold. Anyway, after doing his I got to thinking about making some with bottoms in them. I cast on...knitted a little...frogged....cast on again. This is the end result. I like this one better for the big "kids" but it takes so much longer to knit than the ones that just slip on. It is so worth the effort though. I have been using it since I finished it two days ago and I love it. I take it everywhere with me...can't leave my house without a diet pepsi. Well unless I take a Green Tea in which case I will need to knit a cozy for that...another story entirely.

This is the bottom view. At first I thought I made a major error since this is only the second time I have done a bottom decrease this way. It has a little bit of a cone shape to it and I was so disappointed with the point until I slipped it on my can. TA DA!!!! The point pushes up into the little recess in the bottom of your soda can. It fit perfectly! That never happens to me....I was so excited. (Ok so I don't get out much and I'm easily amused....lol) Yesterday I get another phone call from the beach...my brother-in-law needs to talk to me she says....keep in mind he's not a big talker...he says..."Um...my drink is cold and it makes my hands cold." How's that for a subtle hint. I have another one OTN and I gotta hurry since they are on their way home from the beach as I type. I guess that means I should knitting.
