*Another fabulous Fadeeva: Momma cat and kittens. How does she do this?

*my new owl stitch markers from Allison at Perknitious.blogspot.com

*my still new i-pod. I don't have to watch TV that Fireman wants to watch, I just plug in my i-pod and knit away

*a dusting of new snow....we are lucky to be getting this kind of every other day or so snow in Chicago this year

*square needles....so easy on the hands.

*Opi new no chip manicures.... yup they didnt chip for nearly two weeks. Love it!

*not being afraid to fly anymore! Spring break here I come...let's make it two years in a row.

*honesty from knit friends. So important , even if it disappoints from time to time.

*Patterns that mean no color pooling! ( My current Seaman's scarf in a fake cable pattern fits this bill. )

*Somewhere Over the Rainbow sung by the late Eva Cassidy

*Mr. Cardinal brought Mrs to the feeder today for the first time since we put it up a week ago

*Black capped chickadees in my neighborhood in abundance again. (West nile tore their numbers down a few years ago)

The little stuffed kitties are so sweet with their little smiles!

I know what you mean about the iPod--I use mine everyday and couldn't do without it!

The Cardinals are so beautiful! Mr. Cardinal knows he is a pretty bird, but my favorite is the lady!! She is such a pretty green.

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...

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...
