In for a Treat

Zachary is interested in selling a few of his photographs.  

 The link zbphotog.500px.com  will take you to his site.  If anything interests you please contact him at zachboyer@rocketmail.  He's new to this selling stuff.  I wonder if I get a discount?  There are 3 photos I'd like to make into notecards. Can you guess which? 


This is one of my all time favorite photographs ....that I took.  I know I've shown it to you before, so forgive the indulgence. 

 Thanks to Karen at PumpkinSunrise blog, I started the Reversatile Cowl yesterday.  I think I'm making the drops too big, but I like it nonetheless.  I'm knitting with a bright orange yarn to contrast with the white outdoors.  It's the answer to what will I knit next? 

 Brutal record breaking cold here in Chicago today.  Glad Val from Wandering Cat can handle it here during her visit. I wish we had time to meet.  Maybe next time. 

 I'm off to spay and neuter surgery.  It is one of my favorite things to do especially since I am retired. 

 Stay warm.  Enjoy Zach's pictures.  Party on....

can't wait to see your cowl, I decided against the wraps so I'd have more yarn for a longer cowl, I hope I like that decision.

I love Zach's photos! I also love orange against the white snow background. I hope that cowl is a warm one--you need it.

The clothesline photo is wonderful. It would be a great addition to any wall, especially in a shabby chic decor.

Brrrrrrrrr....even you PHOTO looks cold.

The cold snap is hitting everyone. We are even going down below freezing tonight.

With an ER bill from Monday, a car repair bill tomorrow and the heating bill --- February is going to be an EXPENSIVE month. It will be easy to not buy stash next month......LOL

I was going to ask you whether you have as much snow as Mundlein does, but it sounds like you do. Crazy weather, isn't it? Hope you are staying warm. Be careful on the road, too! I copied that cowl pattern also!

I like the clothesline picture too. Nice work.

When will we see the cowl? Sounds interesting.

I will check out Zach's photos...

Clotheslines bring back such fond memories. I wish I had one.

Beautiful photos.

I miss running outdoors. That might be enough to make me NOT love snow.

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...
