IT really is Wednesday Folks. Chit Chat here

 I have the attention span of a gnat...on a good day. 
I cast off the little cotton feather and fan last night. 
It is cotton so it is going to shrink.
I'm going to use it as a dishcloth I think...
or maybe just hang it on a hook in the bathroom to look purdy. 
Storms and porch therapy yesterday. 
HELLO mosquitoes!  Not on the porch, but waiting to get into the animal shelter this morning, they were out in force. 

He is a beautiful sight to behold this Fezzik boy. 
He's fun to photograph. 

Whatcha doing today?

I love the feather fan stitch pattern - it's so pretty!! I'm trying to stay on task today which can be very difficult when you work from home and the numerous WIP's are calling out from the other room....

Your feather and fan cloth is gorgeous. I think you should hang it in the bathroom to be so, so purdy!! I am madly in love with Fezzik, the singular cat.

I love to see, work and feel the feather and fan stitch! Such a pretty cloth-I agree, hang it and adore it! I am still watching grandson so precious little creative time is spared.
I did get to sew for 10 minutes this morning! Yippee!

Sigh. I'm working today. It's okay, except that it is beautiful outside and I'd love to walk or knit out there!

He is gorgeous!
Funny cat story: Daughter just moved into a new townhouse and the first neighbor she met was a guy who showed up on Saturday and asked her if she wanted to see his cat. He had noticed that she had cats and thought she might want to see his cat. Strange, but she grabbed hubby and they went over to see what he was talking about. It seems he has a Savannah cat that he is VERY proud of. Daughter was in awe of this huge monster of a cat that looked just like a cheetah. She said it was the sweetest cat she had ever met. His wife was mortified that he was dragging strangers in to see the cat once again. It seems he does it a lot!

I'm sewing and cutting fabric for quilt kits today. I dread cutting, so I've learned to make up kits to take away the dread when I want to start a new project.

After knitting with friends at the library last night, I walked through a cloud of mosquitos on my way to the car - I detest those flying critters!

Fezz has got swagger! I chaperoned the 8 year old's class to the nearby school where they met their pen pal buddies for the first time and played outside in the big playground. Man it's warm here. I came home tired and turned on the ceiling fan on in the dining area; helped immensely. I'm currently sipping some Lady Grey after pigging out on yesterday's Costco run and getting more tea in.

He's such a regal cat with his mane. I really loathe mosquitoes.

Work and knitting here... at least work allows me some time to knit and that is a thing to be very thankful for!

Very pretty cloth. Fezzik is such a handsome boy. We took breakfast to the park and I started my June socks today.

I agree Fezzik is a very handsome guy!!! I'm loving your feather and fan cloth! I tried doing that stitch in the round and it didn't work for me. I love the look of it.

And Fezzik is so handsome, but you know, I'm partial to the Gingers.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
