All Politics Aside...If I Lived in the White House

By -

 While I'd never be President, I love history and it is fun to imagine living in the White House.   

*There would be knitting baskets, red white and blue, in many of the rooms of the White House.   I think I'd have them designed to look like fishing baskets....

*I wouldn't use the basketball court, but The pool would get lots of use.   Of course, I'd have a couple of golden retrievers and they would be invited to swim with me in the pool.  

I'd have my friend Gee train the dogs and then I'd love to work them and give them treats.. White house dog treats....

*There are 35 bathrooms in the White House.  I would insist on lovely foam soap in each one of them. I love soaps that foam.  
Best part of all, I wouldn't have to clean any of them. 

*Presidents have loved jelly beans, pretzels and popcorn.  Andrew Johnson loved popcorn.   My White House popcorn would be hull-less and I love white popcorn.  

*I'd have a clowder of cats that could roam the big House.  (by the way Rosalyn and I love Rosalyn Carter)

*Mental Health would be my platform....just like it was Rosayln Carter's platform. 

*Someone would design Pant suits for me and I'd wear blues and aquas often. 

*My pretend friends would be invited to knit with me in the White House, Of course.  

*and finally, 
I'd learn as much as I could about our History and the Magnificent Home that Americans call the White House...

Love that sneak peak of your log cabin. If you lived in the White House I think the world be much more peaceful. Can you imagine negotiation talks over knitting? Women do it all the time and sort out all the troubles of the world. g

It's definitely time for this country to have a woman President and a First Man.

I like the image of knitting baskets throughout the White House.

What a fun post. Interesting to think what a knitter would do to the decor of the White House. Ha.

Wow! That blanket is looking good! I would love for you to be President and invite us all to a virtual knitting party at the White House! I would want to pretend sleep in each bedroom and sit up all night waiting for a visitation from each President. A knitter would make a good President!!

I've been working in Washington DC for the past few months so I couldn't help but get caught up in the excitement of it all this week. Even though I have lived here on the outskirts all my life, I never realized what a beautiful city it is.
There was a big knit/crochet-in scheduled as part of the MLK/Inauguration weekend. Even though I missed it, I am happy to report that fiber folks are duly represented in our nation's capitol!

Oh this post is so cute! I think that you have quite the plan for your stay in the white house : )
I don't think that I could handle even being one of the presidents children, so much pressure!

Fun! And you could knit a blanket for each of the beds... Yours is looking really good, BTW!

Great post! If I lived in the White House, I'd have official knitting spaces, warm, inviting spaces with squishy chairs, cake,
and yarns from all 50 states to choose from. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I would go and knit in the White House no matter who was president! If you were there, it would just be a plus :)

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...
