Wag More, Bark Less ~

Words to live by, don’t you think?
March 21, second day of Spring…. Under winter storm warning until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. The bench on our patio was bare this morning.
This does not sit well with the humans or the canine.
On a much, much brighter note: The.Best.Cookie. It was all I could do to stop eating and snap a picture. Mr. Plucky and I went to Whole Foods and I snagged a macaroon, sadly, just one, as I was so not planning on falling in love. Went to the Whole Foods website and, sadly, there is no recipe available. Does anyone? Anyone? Have or know of a recipe for something similar?
Chocolate Chip Macaroon from Whole Foods
Oh yeah, I was giving away yarn to the person who left the 2000th comment, wasn’t I? Curious? Becky - Congratulations! Please contact me and I will make arrangements to send you your prize.
- Pattern: Another Top Down and I’ve mixed it up a bit. Put the sleeve stitches on waste yarn and decide what to do with them once the body is finished.
- Yarn: BSA Skinny Cotton – Mallard

We have also been pounded with snow on the other side of the Lake – egads, what a major drag! Your sweater is going to be gorgeous – love the color!

Oooooh, I like that color. It coordinates nicely with that bench, oddly enough.
Also, this winter? Killing me.

Wow – that is a heck of a lot of snow in one day!
Love the sweater so far! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

What?! I won?! Yay!
Your sweater is super pretty. I *love* the color. And sadly, I do not have a macaroon recipe. But that cookie looks amazing, as well.

Well, maybe by the time you’re done with your lovely skinny cotton cardigan, you’ll be able to wear it on the patio! And you’ll match your bench too

Loving that color for the sweater!! I sent you a recipe for choc chip macaroons but to your previous post, sorry. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.

That cookie looks scrumptious.

Ugh. There should be no more snow once spring arrives. Yuck. The cookie looks very yummy though!!

Enough with the snow already! I’m anxiously waiting for spring to come in Michigan!
You new knit looks great. Great color!

Hi there. Can’t really comment on knitting as you know I’m challenged in that area. However, the colors are beautiful and I want that cookie! I have a macaroon dipped in chocolate recipe that you would love. I’ll make you a copy.

I love the shaping on your sweater. I’m rather well endowed but with a small waist so it’s the kind of thing I need but although your previous link takes you to the Seattle store there is no means of access to the pattern. Is this any chance of this pattern being made available??
