Not Bad, Not Bad At All
Well the cupcakes are not too bad for you because they are bite sized. My friend received this wonderful gift of miniature cupcakes as a thank you. They were chilled on arrival in a silver cooler envelope. I promptly took one, as offered, and ate it in two bites. I picked the red velvet in the top right hand corner.
The Mitered squares joins are not bad either. The problem is not with the crocheted join; it is with the business of this yarn. I will continue to knit the squares and give them to a busy busy baby as a blanket someday. I will finish the blanket off with a lovely crocheted edge in a boring white. Maybe I should call it a calming white...
As a wrap up for the week I have a few other things to tell you.
I Joined the site Fitocracy. It helps me log each and every calorie burned....even if I only get a few tiny points a day. It is fun. Working out is not fun.
I have a least a hundred black cherry tomatoes on the vine in my garden. They simply want to stay green. I don't know why.
My foster kittens Puddy and Babka are still waiting at the shelter to be chosen for their forever homes..I so wish they would get adopted.
I was flattered yesterday. Our children's old principal from middle school asked me if I 'd be interested in the school nurse position. I had to tell him I'd be the last nurse he'd want for that position. I'd let everyone go home. I was forever in the nurse's office in grammar school whining to go home.
Lastly, The Patterns for Take and Replace Swap were mailed to Kim on Thursday....let the games begin!

Your blocks are going to make a great blanket.
*Mini-cupcakes: will pass.
*Fitocracy: any tracking of exercise and intake is wonderful. Tracking alone is the reason I've lost 20 pounds!!
*Kitties: snuggle for me.
*School Nurse: you can do it but do you really want to??
*Swap: can't wait!!
You may know this already but I learned this from Vivian Hoxbro's Domino Knitting. It is a very good book for learning various techniques for mitered knitting.
Hugs to you dear friend,
Meredith
I hope your kitties get adopted too; it pulls at my heartstrings that they are waiting for a home!
