One Glove is Done

February 26, 2008

I’m working on the second mitten.

I have been looking at quilt patterns. I want to cover my dining room table with a quilted top to help protect it from the cats, especially Zip. He is always in trouble with his “Gotta love me” attitude. I have several ideas, but I need to finish the baby quilt first. I still haven’t put the binding on. I have the fabric. It will either be reds, whites and blacks or pinks and greens. I think I’ll drag out the fabric tomorrow and lay it all out. I am also debating on whether some applique would be good or bad. I really enjoy applique, but maybe not with cats running across it.

I was thinking about making one of these for my Sacred Wiener Dog.

Finger

February 24, 2008
Have I given you the finger lately?

How do you like this one? I did this this morning before breakfast. Fun yarn will do that to you. Aching knees woke me up early today. It was very cloudy all day and raw. Everything stayed wet. I didn’t go very far on my walk.

I worked on the mittens, too.

I bought some books this afternoon and fabric, thread and a shirt pattern on line. I had been waiting to do this so that they would come in the next two weeks. We learned that our mail-person is paid on the number of items she delivers over the next two weeks. We think this bites so we deliberately waited to order stuff.

The quilting is almost done. Then I have to try to even the thing out and put on the dreaded binding. At least Zip isn’t helping this time.

Tomato Soup

January 16, 2008
I was a little depressed last night so I had tomato soup for supper. I gave Doug the left over stir fry. That was good stir fry, but the tomato soup made me feel better. A fried cheese sandwich would have been nice to dunk in it, but I didn’t want that much. It all started when someone down the street handed out fliers about a neighborhood association. It really was about his peeves about everyone. It went beyond ridiculous. It got to me. After a while I realized that I was being ridiculous and gave myself a good talking to. However, I will be glad when Linda returns to hear her rant.

It is really cold today (mid 30’s). I almost turned back on our morning walk, but the wind stopped and I went on. I did look good though. My new hat and gloves looks great with my purple and black sweater. I should make that sweater again. I should also take a picture of it.

Look at the way the little finger patterned. I could not have done that intentionally if I tried.
