Black Friday Post

By -
 My friend Donna, (of Quiet Life blog) knitted these blue
mittens for me.  They are soft, fuzzy and they fit perfectly. 
I was tearful accepting them on Wednesday. 
Donna and her girls met Fireman and I for a bit. 
Donna's seams are invisible.  Absolutely perfect.
Oh Donna, I love ya! 

I frogged my Trap. 
Decided to knit it all up in garter this time.
Too much of the yarn is hiding in the rolling effect of stockinette stitch for this one. 

Our kitchen smelled amazing yesterday.
While the foster kittens got no turkey, 
the smell of the turkey must have made them sleepy.
My own cats got a bit of the bird and loved it. 

So its Black Friday.
I'll be home. 
Knitting.
Reading.
Showing the kittens to a friend's sister who has Downs Syndrome. 
The kittens adoption fell through :(
Say a little prayer we find them a good home. 
I don't like bringing them back to the kitten room to wait and wait and wait..
because they are Black. So this Black Friday I'm hoping my black kittens hear they have a home.

I'm having a Gray Friday since my Christmas knitting happens to be gray. Precious kitties, how could someone pass them up?.

They are so cute I can't believe someone wouldn't snap them up as their own. I love the blue mittens. They look warm and comfy. I"m cold today so warm sounds good to me.

It fell through? Bummer! The best cat we ever had was all black except for the tip of her tail. What're you reading? Something good?

I think the kittens will find a new home. Kittens are usually adopted just fine.
Those blue mittens look so warm and cozy!

Oh no.....fingers crossed kitties find their furever home soon. What a worry.
Love those mittens. Big stitch knits are all the rage. I just wish big needles were easier on the hands....

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...
