This Song Reminds of Me of a Sad Event From a Longtime Ago

I blame the song hiatus on Comic-Con. More on that later.

Granola and Another Song


It has been about six months, and I am finally reunited swith my cooking stuff! The first thing I made was granola. This granola is not good for you. At all. But it is tasty, so who can help themselves? If you like sweet granola, I recommend that you be heavy handed with the honey and coconut.

Granola

1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons good honey

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Place on a sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Shake the pan every so often. Let the granola cool, and stir once.

Now for the song. Oops, I am only on Day 06.

A Song That Reminds Me of Someone

Day 05 - a Song That Reminds You of Someone
Wake Up by Arcade Fire

This is kind of random because I don't know this particular person. I just love the Dan Patrick Show, and this song is played every Friday. So, the song reminds me of Dan Patrick.

Day 03 of 30 Day Song Challenge

Day 03 - a Song That Makes You Happy
Solid as a Rock by Ocean 11



Ska is always some good happy music.

There's another song too that comes to mind, but I can't figure out who performs it as it is a cover of Sugar Sugar.

Baby Hat and 30 Day Song Challenge


Just finished this hat for Mindy Metivier Photography. It was made using Aracuania yarn in Rehue Solid Color 1. This particular yarn is hand dyed in Chile.


Fiber content on this yarn is 75% baby alpaca, 18% silk and 7% polyamide. It is quite soft.

USC Baby Blanket and 30 Day Song Challenge

Super random, I know. It is just that life has been busy, and so I am behind.


The blanket is for my friends and their new son, who is obviously USC's lastest little fan. The yarn is Vanna's Choice in cranberry by Lion Brand, and the pattern is from Simple Knits for Cherished Babies.

As for "the 30 Day Song Challenge," well, I got that from my friend of the hippofairy blog. Basically, you are supposed to post a different song each day. The "rules" are below. And I will say now that I will struggle with picking just one song.
