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.

Mild Today

February 18, 2008
When I went walking this morning, it was cold and windy. Now, at 8:30PM, it’s 57. Of course, now, it’s too dark to walk.

One mitten is done. I may finish the top differently. I ‘ll decide when I get to the top of the other one. I’ve got most of the ribbing done on the second one. I should have the baby blanket finished in a few days. The top is mostly quilted.

I had lots of cat help. After he finished cleaning himself, he gave Gus a bath.

Gus tried to clean Zip in return.

Nothing Going On Here

February 13, 2008
We walked to the end of the road this morning, then I turned around and came home. I was so very frozen. It started raining in the afternoon. I did a little sewing. It takes me less time to sew than it does to cut. I was such a grump. I did make turkey noodle soup with an actual turkey carcass, onions, carrots, celery and flat noodles. A little sea salt made it just right. Doug really liked it. Gus loved the yucky stuff. I should have made biscuits. I had some nice grainy bread instead for dunking. The soup was hot and the milk was cold. What more could I want?

Mitten. I’d have more done if there was something on TV!
