Wordful Wednesday

I fell in love with this license plate find yesterday. 

Yesterday was about not a lot of actual knitting.  However, I was reading blogs, looking at patterns,  calling my LYS about yarn and the like.   Today will involve more actual knits and purls.

I think I love the internet for its INFORMATION capabilities.  There is just so much to learn in the world and it is so near my fingertips now.  I can get pleasantly lost in a sea of information about my favorite things in life.  I'm glad I live right now.....
I know I would not have handled Pioneer Life well.  I know that guns are everywhere now too, but at least I haven't heard of any scalpings lately....

So, Last night I revisited a few sites that I love:

Catsandcasseroles.blogspot.com
I want to make almost every recipe listed.

TinyBuddha: a beautiful video was posted yesterday.

Simon's Cat: The cartoon films produced on this site are so funny.  If you know a cat, you will laugh yourself silly with these simply perfect scenarios of cats doing there thing, cartoon style.

and finally

Ravelry.  I know it is  not new to you, but I can get lost in groups, threads, patterns and friends.

No wonder I slept well.  It was a night of calm reading.  Do you have sites you revisit for yourself from time to time.....want to share?  (even if they are not knitting sites, Im interested)

Hmmm... Pinterest. That's where I do most of my recipe-finding these days.

I wouldn't have minded living in the pioneer days, except for dying from what we can easily cure now.

The Pioneer Woman has become a favorite. Her recipes are fantastic! And I'm with you, I would NOT have done well in teh pioneer days. I was just thinking that today as well. It was 105 heat index here in Orlando and all I could think abt was how the woman did it with those big dresses! I can't handle it with shorts and a t-shirt! I stay in my cold dark bedroom. I swear the sun and heat make me nuts, and yet I continue to live in Fl....

I am not a huge Ravelry fan, there I said it. It just seems so overwhelming. I will go on to look for a new pattern now and again but that is it. I would much, much rather get caught up on blogs and visit Pinterest. By the way pioneer life would be hell for me.
Hugs,
Meredith

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...
