In Case you need some storage ideas, you can go to Hooked-on-Needles site.  I love this basket idea.  
Here is her little snowman coffee mug cover.  A-dorable!

I am so sorry to laugh at someone's misfortune, but Martha Stewart getting food poisoning is making me snicker this morning. 
When someone markets themselves on Perfection, and health, the great equalizer rears its powerful head, I have to laugh. 

It is the workend.  There is big news on that front, that I'll share soon.  There will be a big giveaway too.

Ooooh!! I love that storage idea.

Sooo not a fan of Martha, but food poisoning is no fun. The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall, eh?

Need to start on the Christmas cards but I'm weighted down with a basset head in my lap and a wee one on my legs. Mustn't move...

The basket is clever!

I hadn't heard about Martha S. I guess my head must have been in the sand. I agree with Chan, food poisoning is not fun - been there; done that.

That basket is a brilliant idea.

I've yet to ever feel any sympathy for Ms. Stewart.

I read about Martha, too. She said the one good thing about it is she lost weight! Even Martha needs help in that department.
Aren't you working?

Sorry about Martha's food poisoning but I must say that she is far from perfect. I bought one of her 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 inch planners (because it is hot pink and looks good on my desk) and the calendar filler that fit and when I got back to the office and took them out of the package I discovered that the filler paper had no holes punched to match the rings in the binder. Hmmmmm!! Martha are you listening? Get better and get back to work!!

I love the needle basket.

Awww, I love the snowman mug cover, very cute! I actually really admire Martha. That woman built herself up from nothing and she survived going to prison for something that old white men get away with all the time with no consequences.

I'm also in the "worship Martha" camp. But I'm one of those few young women who want to grow up to be a stay-at-home mom and who "laughs at the face of women's rights" because I want to be a homemaker. Yes, I was actually told that!

Great idea for the basket, since my needles are somewhere down in the bottom of a basket somewhere.

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...
