I'll talk to you in the comments. :)


These are the colors around me now. Fall in Chicago is magnificent. What color is that? Barbequed potato chip color. ????

There has been so much knitting content lately eh? I do have a nearly FO To show you....maybe tomorrow.

I held a 10 week old golden retriever puppy today. At our town homecoming parade. Ahhhhhhh, he was
wonderful. It was like a breathe of promise. We are not ready yet, but I'm so glad I got to see that pup today.

Elaine sent the first Baby blanket for the Cookie Sheet contest. She is so speedy. It is adorable. Thanks!

Have I told you I love the commercials where the babies talk to each othe? It is for etrade. So cute.

I'm trying not to have a BabyRuth until Halloween.

I won some lovely knitterly things this week. Evergreen sent me her lovely leaves baby blanket pattern.
Thank you so much!

I won yarn from Channon (chan Knits BLOG) from SpringValley Yarns. I got to choose the yarn.
I choose a sportweight merino bamboo in Care Latte. 430 yards. WOW. I just love it.

BIg new to tell on the prize package for the winner of the baby blanket drive. Later this week I'll reveal .....

Sorry this is rather random. Rather? HAH! Totally random.

Sneaking a post in before Troy's sister arrives for dinner. I should be cleaning the bathroom sink...

What should you be doing?

I actually DID what I should have done today. Tom and I went and worked on cleaning out Mom's condo (we moved her to an assisted living place this summer and worked our tails off packing her up and moving her and unpacking her) but hadn't gone back to get rid of more stuff that she didn't take.

Today we did the first of what I fear may be many installments. We spent about 7 hours doing it. It went on the market on Monday. Of course when it does sell, then we'll really have to get cracking and figure out how to get rid of the furniture we didn't move with her. That's why I was so speedy doing the blanket - I knew that I might not get a chance once I started on this project.

Also we do a lot of volunteering at a national wildlife preserve and we are scheduled for a full day tomorrow and I have my annual breast cancer walk next Sunday so I figured I better not procrastinate.

We are almost done moving! UGH!! What a mess... the carpets on the floors in the old house contained a load of dust and sand. It weighed tons! And that is not nice for someone with a dust allergy.

We slept quite well in our new house. The leaves are just turning into fall colours here.

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...
