Genie in a Bottle

 I was thinking of knitting a basket, and I kid you not, one appeared.
I was looking for some yarn for the cowl for Fireman and out of the sloppy stash in the closet.....came this adorable pink basket. 
Did I make this?  Did you make it and give it to me?
I have NO recollection of making this.  I do recall the yarn. 
OMG, it was time to get off night shift....how could I forget this adorable basket?  
Tis now next to my new desk.

Lucy Lou's kittens are 2 full weeks old today!~
Here is Fixie.  The first time we held her she hissed a teeny kitty hiss at us.  It was her instinct and it was adorable. Now she likes to be held a bit.  
Work has been slow so I have had lots of time to watch the kittens and I love it.   

Today: Blanket blanket blanket knitting...
On a mission to finish it this weekend!~

are you on a mission this weekend?

What an adorable knit basket - how could you forget it?

I am on a mission to relax and have some fun. To get a new dress or 2 done. I'm really loving dresses these days. I also need to mail some boxes! g

I love finding treasures!! Pretty basket. I love Fixie's little feet. What a sweetheart even if she does already know how to hiss. Cats always hiss at me because I'm a dog person.

This weekend will be devoted to relaxing, knitting, shopping at farmer's market and finally, a family birthday party. It may be my last free weekend for a while!

Look at those little bitty kitty feet. Adorable!
My mission this weekend is clean up the mess from the big East Coast blizzard. We didn't get the snow but we got the wind and by the sounds from outside, we will have a mess to clean up in the morning.

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...
