Ten On Tuesday, except it is Wednesday and I have 11

By -



But that is just me. You know.

Ten things I think are cool:

*Karen's Oat Couture Vest using OnLinee 76 CUP.

*Knitting inside pockets and then showing me how you did it!

*What KnitswithasilentK did with my yarn I didnt want! Check it out on her blog.

*All of Grace's shawls.

*The Autostart feature on cars. It is sooooo cold in Chicago and warming up your car is brutal.

*Bakery bake at home cookie dough: my little secret!

*Whenever I get to talk on the Radio.

* Hummingbirds come to my yard during migration

*Owls. Hearing one. I have never seen one in the wild!!!

*Beeswax candles

*THERAPY dogs


I hope to talk to you in the comments!

* We even use the autostart here in Texas on cold days! Isn't it wonderful?
* Talk about wonderful--Grace's shawls are the bees' knees!!
* I'll take a pass on knitting inside pockets. I'm having enough trouble with one silly shawl.
* My SIL's Mom is nearly blind and is currently looking for the right service dog. I'm excitedly following her search. I can't wait to see what she chooses!

we dont even have one. I just want one for Fireman! They sound wonderful!

Katherine,
I cannot wait to hear all about your MIL's service dog!

Hi Darcy, therapy dogs are the best. Huck was one and my next dog will learnt to be one too. Huck's little gift he passes on.

One of the docs at St Mary's informed me that we should not say "eats like a bird" because hummingbirds actually consume the most compared to their body weight.

Karen

You get the dough at Three Tarts Bakery in Northfield. A bit costly but so good.

Are you working today?

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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 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...
