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.

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
