The Christmas Wrap Up

By -
 The Leftover Hats were a hit.  Only one hat didn't fit. 
Tonight's a new party,
We'll eat good and hearty,
and regift the hat to a kid.  
 Beatles went out in the snow
His paws were cold under tow
So he took me right back to the door
Being outside he wanted no more,
He stayed in while the cold Winds did blow.
Santa was good to this girl
He brought some new yarn I can twirl
How did he know
I would certainly show
the stuff I would soon give a whirl..

Okay those limericks didn't come easy this morning...
We are having 20 something for pizza tonight to celebrate that Al and Zach are home....
I better get a move on.   The house looks like
a clutter with wonderful new gifts....
how does your house look about now?

Oooooh, I love the color of your new yarn. Who doesn't love cherry tree hill? It's so wonderful to knit.

Enjoy your pizza party - have a slice of cheese for me.

What a great job with your rhyme.

Pizza what a great idea.
Two weeks ago we went over to friends for pizza and had Jake's. We were going to have Barnaby's.

Love the yarn.

Considering ... not too bad. There are still some things under the tree and my stitching corner is a mess.

I'll be working on that mess this afternoon.

Have a good pizza party with Al and Zach. Wishing you ALL a very happy New Year!

The new yarn is beautiful! Beatles is cute in the snow! Pizza sounds really good! AND 20 for dinner sounds like great fun!!

My house is okay except that I haven't had time to vacuum and there is about an inch of dog hair.

I think Katherine is talking about my house... dog hair on the floor, furniture and clothes. Last gifts will be given tonight. Knight's gifts are MOSTLY put away. I haven't put the first one away.

Kathy, your words and pictures are so clever
they will help you remember forever
your family that is so very dear
though your kitty has cold-footed fear.
As you celebrate with pizza tonight
may you be filled with abundant delight
and look to another very happy year
knitting, love, and great, good cheer :)

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...
