I'll be on the look out for stink bugs, although the cats eat any bugs/spiders they can find :-)<br /><br />Your hats are adorable. I could pattern test but wouldn't be til at least tomorrow but maybe later. Will give it a go anyway though!<br /><br />Your bulbs look like crocuses to me but I'm not 100% on that. Ahhh we share a peace lily too! I look forward to a flower on mine xNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353106307941425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-11050224868561871222015-02-01T13:23:44.016-08:002015-02-01T13:23:44.016-08:00Oh my yuk re the bug!!!!

If I leave our sliding door open for the dogs to come and go, those nasty bugs find their way indoors and lurk on the backs of my drapes. They never die, I swear! They can lurk for the entire winter season! Snug as a bug in a rug! Yuck! And if I ever found one in my mouth, I would be worse than what you described! Your dance and shudders...I do that if there's just one in my house! I hear they can give off an awful odor when threatened. I have yet to experience that. I suppose that's where they get their name...thank goodness, I haven't had to endure that experience with them. I'm off to take a closer look at your pattern. Thanks for sharing it!Petunia Pillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015563707243134765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-30027087183836769602015-01-31T06:21:33.079-08:002015-01-31T06:21:33.079-08:00I am definitely going to try out your pattern.

While reading your tale of "woe is me, uck! I chewed a bug!" I had my hand over my mouth and started laughing, lol. I know, I know, it is NOT funny if you are the unlucky one to have this happen, but we all can imagine how we would react just like you. I guess I would have gone in and drank a bottle of mouthwash to try to sanitize my mouth since doing it with bleach would not have been the answer. Poor girl. Every fall we have that stink bug thing going on, and then for years it was those bugs similar to ladybugs, only I call them "bitch bugs" cause they like to bite.Someone told me they came from China, (well don't all our bug problems come from there?). My laundry room had them hibernating in the 4 corners of the room and I would vacuum them up with the hose attachment only to find that doing that made the sweeper stink. A person couldn't sit and watch tv and one would buzz in the lampshade and drive ya crazy, much like a fly that got in the house. Your hats are cute, and good for you with finding time to donate time, materials and effort to a friend for her cause. There are so many people in need. Hope you enjoyed your meal. I enjoy eating out, but love to cook......of course then you have a mess to clean up, lol Hope you didn't find any bugs!<br />Susanne :) Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-53303054761063089082015-01-30T02:45:45.299-08:002015-01-30T02:45:45.299-08:00I'm about to start your hat as soon as I write...I'm about to start your hat as soon as I write this and will send you a pic when its done. I'll probably use our 8ply so the hat will be a bit smaller than yours. I usually have to tweak US patterns so they'll work with our yarn but for this one I'll make it as the pattern is written. Postage from Australia to you might be a bit expensive so I'll donate my hat to a charity I support here. I'm sorry but I also had to giggle about you and that bug - how horrible though. Its like finding half a worm in an apple you're eating !!

The hats really look great and will be so well received. It was interesting re your comment on my blog re primula...over here primula tends to be used as a blanket name for all types as it means first spring flower. There are polyanthus varieties (which are hybrids and have all the wonderful colours)and primroses which are the more natural/country found ones.. there are also cowslips which are wild primula.

I didn't like either one of them, but the stink bugs definitely have a very weird smell. Ugh! I can't believe you chewed on it. Ick! :) Good going on the hats.

I started to use a lid after that! <br />I love the hats! So cute! And I love that your Dad's plant flowered to say hello!
