He is so cute and he looks like a chimney sweep! (Some don't). Here in Texas we are still a couple months away from knitting by the fire. Enjoy!

I *WISH* we had a fireplace that needed swept. It just doesn't get cold enough here for a fire. I have a gas firepit in my backyard though. Does it count?

My beloved gramp was a chimney sweep--he believed that you should "say a prayer and touch a sweep, and you will have good luck all week"!

It's almost time for a fire in the fireplace at our house, too!

We have a wood stove that hasn't been used in three years. It dries the air so much, and we both have respiratory problems, so I talked Tom into not using is again this year. We keep the thermostat set to 62 or so to try to keep costs down.

But knitting by a fire in an actual fireplace sounds like fun as I sit here in my sweats and still have cold feet!

Ooh... I wish we had a fireplace... Hot chocolate, warm fire, a good movie and knitting... That sounds like my idea of a great evening.

Looks just like I remember from Mary Poppins. BTW - the new musical is charming (with a new great tune). Catch it if you get a chance.

Did he sing and go up the chimney to the rooftops? Because that would be awesome.

 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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
