Clearly my new favorite app is 
Waterlogue

I love what it does to ordinary flower images.   I am usually extremely frugal….
but I had to have the app after seeing other bloggers' use it. 
I paid a full 2.99 for it. 
I said I was frugal but perhaps the better word is: cheap. 
Uncle Tank -
asleep-
If you have trouble sleeping, study a cat for a day or so.
Cats are nap masters.  Sleep specialists.
Dream Definers

They awaken with stretches that are: long,  luxurious and languid. 
My favorite sleeping buddies are cats but Fireman doesn't let them sleep with us. 

My favorite new yarn find is: 
CoBaSi Plus by Hikoo

55% cotton
16%Bamboo
8% Silk
21% elastic. 

Oh it has stretch and give and I love it.  

Any new favorites in your neck of the cyber woods?

My favorite ----- quiet time on the sofa with my stitching.

I can get busy, busy, busy and forget that EVERYONE needs a little quiet time in their day.

Uncle Tank is ADORABLE!!!!!

Ok, I so love that your cat is named Uncle Tank! He's also very adorable, too.

I love that app....if I only had a phone that actually used apps...I am sort of simi-amish when it comes to all that techno stuff.

Love the what the app does...very lovely.

Ohhhh yarn, did someone say yarn? :)

I'm in the same boat at you - love the snuggle up at bedtime with the cats, but Dave kicks them out. We do get weekend morning snuggles when Dave heads out to work in the morning and we sleep in.

I love cotton and bamboo. I've used something like your favorite several times and now wonder why I don't buy it more often.

My new favorite thing is a keyboard case for my Kindle, which makes it into a wonderful Android tablet.

That's a seriously cool app. I would be tempted to get a new phone just for that, but I think I'm allergic to new technology.
Handsome cat. Naps are my favourite. Especially naps with cats, the more the merrier. My cats are nap experts. Books are another favourite. And new, beautiful yarn.

PS Nice to meet you! :)

Oooo, I like the waterlogue effect...I may have to check that out; although typically, I'm pretty ahh..cheap too.

Uncle Tank has got it down! Doesn't he look content? Oh Yeah!

My new favorite yarn is Road to China. It is soooo soft.

I think my husband and son are part cat. Need to sleep? Then they sleep. Once asleep ... they really can't be bothered much. Perhaps a sleep brow will raise with one eye, but then they see it's just ole me, and it's eyes shut again. hehe. I'm too skittish. I wake to sounds from outside, and what not. I also fret a lot. hmm. nervous cat, perhaps.

You are definitely not cheap. I've shopped and dined with you and most of your family and I know better! You spend money on what you value, and that's something to admire and appreciate - like you and yours!!

What's new here? Ummm... temps above freezing?

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...
