I’m trying. Really I am. But, it’s so hard. It’s just not in me. Sweetums had Frank build me a big bookcase for my books and magazines. And it is so nice to have them all in one place. I even have them in some kind of order. So now it’s on to the magazines. I all ready have an old metal case full of semi-organized magazines, but that was filled over five years ago. Yes, I know that I should get rid of some. I probably will one of these days, but not yet. I have managed to dispose of some of my needles and yarn. I should count for something. Right? So. I bought eight magazine holders today. That’s enough for one day.
I’ve been playing with my embroidery machine. I bought this program last month for table runners made in the hoop. It’s been a lot of fun. This one is for Sweetums’ night table.
And here’s the back. I bought a few other interesting items.
And, here’s another sock. I like the Angora accent.
So I guess I’ll go cut the binding if Zip is done with it.
Maude, on the other hand, believes in falling.
Big, brave Zippo shows off.
Cat toast.
Cat help.
For the past two nights, Zippo has gone to bed early in Maude’s favorite sleeping place–the dirty clothes basket. What could be better than Mom’s dirty underwear? She looked so sad. I told her she should go to bed sooner, but she said Zippo had ruined the flavor. When I went to bed, I laid my clothes on the settee. She curled up on them and went to sleep.
The hat is finished. I am glad that I decided to add another row of squares. It made the hole bigger, but I just did a few more rows of decreases before starting the I-cord. I like it much more than the last one. Speaking of which, I started the gloves last night.
I have already decided to take this out and make a swatch on size 2’s. This rib is a tad too loose for me. I worked on the back of the table runner, but I was getting frustrated. I couldn’t think straight. Or was it that I could think straight when I needed to think diagonally? Zippo was no help.
Look. I made a snowflake. I programed it into my machine and put several on the top. I really like this machine. 
After I finish this hat, I am going to make gloves to go with the hat I made last week.
