you know .... an ice cube down the ...

bra used to do wonders to cool me off. I didn't get that wet t-shirt because ... i digress.

Okay. I give.

It's prooooooobably a little too hot to knit today.

So you can have a day off.

(Not me though! i finished 3 felted bowls and a really cool scarf called with Berroco yarn called Link.)

But you rest.

You've deserved it.

And to get you sufficiently hydrated; i lifted (read, stole!) a recipe from STYLE AT HOME (a terrific website by the way. www.styleathome.com.)

"This is the dreamiest drink i’ve had in ages. So agree the friends I most recently shared it with. They, like me, love how it’s naturally sweetened with honey. It’s a lot of fun to serve in chilled jelly glasses.

Also, the young, soft white seeds in a "seedless" watermelon are perfectly fine to ingest. Actually, they make your drink look even more watermelon-y "

Ingredients
4 cups 2-inch cubes watermelon
1 cup vodka, chilled
2 tablespoons honey (see note)
Garnish: small watermelon wedges with rind (optional)

Directions
Freeze the watermelon chunks in a zip-top plastic bag until just frozen, about 1 hour. Remove from the freezer and add to a blender. Pour in the vodka and honey. Process until blended and pour into frosted cocktail or jelly glasses. Garnish, if desired.

Note Use standard honey (say, clover) instead of a dark or other strongly flavored version; otherwise it’ll change the drink’s flavor in a disappointing way."


You're welcome.

Enjoy.

ahhh.....

we are all relaxing into our summer (finally!)

On The Lamb is too.

We will be closed on Sundays for July and August, so i can float in my pool!

Happy summer sunshiney days!

I can't believe it's NOT ...

cashmere!

Ordering has begun for the fall with all kinds of goodies are on their way in. BUT, i had to have this in the shop RIGHT AWAY!.

Royal Alpaca from AslanTrends; 100% Royal Alpaca Wool, 200 meters, 20 stitches/4'. $14.99. Wowzers!

And who can resist this face???? I don't know if these guys are Royal Alpaca's, but they look like princesses to me! (LOL.)

"Royal Alpaca is a rare and unique fiber, only 1% of all alpaca fiber production in the world can be classified as royal. At 19.0 to 19.5 microns is with no doubt the king of alpaca fiber. AslanTrends 100% Royal Alpaca is the best alpaca fiber in the world. Super soft, lighter and warmer than cashmere."

Compare with 100% cashmere at $29.99.

Now, don't get me wrong. I looooovvvve cashmere. But heck. For those of us with champagne tastes on a beer budget, come in and look at Royal Alpaca!
