Today is Wrinkled Raincoat Day

On the birthday of Peter Falk, the actor who played the rumpled detective Columbo, wear a wrinkled raincoat or do some investigating of your own. Falk was born on September 16, 1927, at New York, New York.

I love Columbo! One of these days I hope to own the entire series!

YUMMY: Blackberry Pie, Lots of recipes for chicken! Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cupcake - oh my! Or how about some lemonade scones? Or Cinnamon-Apple Cake? Dips - I wanna try the carmelized onion dip.

HUMOR: Faces made out of clothes....pretty ingenious. They also have food art, world of chocolate, etc. I wonder if this'd work with those stray socks where the mate never shows up!?

HOME STUFF: I love this Austin deck! Makes me curious the cost of upkeep in our 100+ summer temps. I need to wash windows again!

CRAFTIES: Rowan has free patterns! I might need to make these for new GB! I like this idea for the little ones and accidents.

FEEL GOOD: Me and couple girls from work are going to donate to this wonderful group. I just finished a scarf for another coworker - she tried knitting and gave up and handed me the yarn. Since she was trying to make a scarf so I found a pattern in my stash and whipped out a scarf for her. It will be a nice welcome back for her --- she returns from Paris on Monday. In addition to the ripple afghan that I'm close to finishing, I plan on starting on this hat for one of my donations ~ if I have coordinating yarns that'll work well together.
