I didn't think anyone would mind a Helo update. I don't have any new knitting to show today, so I just want to say that I want to find yarn that is the color of Helo. He is looking like a sourpuss (pun intended) in this image. He's just a teenager now. What a beauty he is. AL and Helo will soon enjoy some breezes through the city windows on these occasional warmer days!

I am :

ready to buy some new sock yarn.

still enjoying the moment at work sunday during the night when the time went from 1:59 to 3:00 in a second. You should
have heard the cheers that went out in the nursery!

amazed at how lucky we are to have Cricket

on a grapfruit juice kick

in love with my new vacuum for the wood floors. Finally bought one. Hoover Flair, bagless. Perfect.

waiting for my jeans to dry so I can go out

going to get the taxes done today

not going to do anything for St. Pats day b/c I never liked it. Ever. Not even once.

getting ready for the first day of spring!

happy to have time to read your blogs after a few long days of work!


I talk more in the comments!

What color do you call her fur?

Tell me more about the vacuum. We have hardwoods everywhere, with only significant area rugs in the living room and our bedroom. I'm considering a Roomba and the Shark that is supposed to be better than the Dyson...

Blue Moon has a Spirit color that is the essence of black and may be a Helo match. Helo has a look on his face that says, "I am cat. Leave me be!"

That vacuum for the hardwood sounds interesting to me too. Please let us know how it works. I constantly chase tufts of dog hair with a Swiffer. Does Cricket shed?

Lorna's Laces might have a color that would match Helo. I seem to remember one in white, gray, and a little black. She's so cute!

Beautiful kitty! When I first saw the picture I thought of this yarn: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35090792

I just bought some fiber there - no connection other than a happy customer!

I went to St Peter's Catholic School in Skokie. All the Irish kids were so smug about their day that all of us non Irish kids made sure we did not wear any green at all for kind of a pride thing. To this day my 50 year old brother refuses to wear green on St Patrick's Day. Anyway just understanding the St Pat Day dislike for whatever your reason.

oh Maybe we should call this the vacuum knitters blog eh?

I just use it for the kitchen and wood floors. Which is about all we have. We have two rugs that I use the big vacuum on.

THe thing is I vacuum so much more because I have it. It is only about 9 lbs and it is easy to use. Pickes up hair and dirt just fine. I spill things like coffee grounds and cookie crumbs etc all the time. THe shoes have some dirt on them in this weather.
The vacuum is perfect for this.

Now the cord is shorter than I would like. But overall, and I am not a neat nick, I love it and I hop up and use it quickly. It is better than a little handheld vacuum. Good suction.

Happy spring cleaning my friends!

I can just see the smug American Irish at school. I dont mind the people from Ireland, but the smug Irish american thing, children of the real deal, drive me crazy. It is like a mean little club.

Oh my gosh, Helo got so much bigger than the last time we saw him. I'd say more kitten updates are in order. :) I love that you feel lucky to have found Cricket - that's the same way I feel about K.C. And I know that they both feel lucky to have been found by us!!

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...
