It's my Cowardly Lion. This is iNDy's Halloween costume for tomorrow. I am not sure how much he will keep it on, hopefully he will forget about it. I am still not sure how to make a tuft for his tail. Or even how to keep it on his tail.
Trying again

Having been without Internet for 4 days now, I have been trying to post while at Panera. But the page was taking too long to post. I read my email and blogs and then left. Today I will try again. But I guess if I am not successful you wouldn't kn
Sweetness

That's what this little bundle is. All sweetness. Feel like saying "The faces have been altered to protect the innocent". But we just couldn't get her looking up when I snapped the photos! Mom says she likes hats, so hopefully she w
Was it good?

You be the judge. Does it look good? Yes it does! Does it taste good? I have no idea, haven't eaten it yet. Did want to cut into it before taking the photo. But now I am getting ready to eat it, so I will check back with you in a min

Lot's of knitting going on. Had a wonderful lunch with the buds yesterday. French Dip, one of my favorite Enjoy It lunches. But I may have to revise my favorite list after Friday night's meal. I am picking up a Seafood Mac'n Cheese for d
Following directions
Wednesday, 21 October 2009 7:02 A GMT-06
Pattern instructions? I suck at following them. Always have to change things. Short row shaping. Eliminate garter or Rev St st. Always something. Follow a recipe? Pshaw! I made Paula Deane's Beef Macaroni last night, only, it wasn't any
Dilemma

OK, see that pile of stuff up there? Here's the problem. I have no Quatro left to finish the cuff of the clog on the right. I have little left to finish the 2nd sole and bumper in the 2 solids, gray (although looks brown) and teal. The othe
They won! Yeah!!

Now to see who they play next. They have to wait until Monday night's championship game from another sectional. And it very well could be their arch rivals. Hubster's alma mater. That's who they played last year. And got beat. Their recor
Where have I been?

I have spent the last few days on my couch. I don't think it's a flu, likely a sinus thing, but the sinus isn't draining, so I am not sure. Of course the full dosage of allergy meds likely has kept the sinus blocked. The itching seems to
A Flower Pot
Thursday, 15 October 2009 12:00 A GMT-06
I guess that's what this could be described as. But it's really just a dimensional flower on the top of a hat. My modification to the Flower Hat from Pick Up Sticks. I just need to felt it and see how it turns out. I considered tacking down t

Too many school activities and meetings this week. But when you enjoy the people you are meeting and helping with, it's all good. Yesterday was PTA at middle school. Today is apple sales at high school, this time I should get to see Elder. Tonig

I have been trying to knit a pair of felted clogs for a few weeks now. I keep trying to use a certain yarn, and it refuses to be clogs. It's a lively tweed bulky from Universal Yarns. It has the shades of yellow, orange and pink. But try to use i
Great Weekend
Friday, 9 October 2009 12:00 A GMT-06
At least I hope it is. As long as we don't hit too much rain on our drive over, have some nice temps while there, and find the water park not too cold, we should have a splendid time. And where are we going? To The Great Wolf Lodge. We will
What makes your heart bleed?
Thursday, 8 October 2009 10:59 A GMT-06
Right now it's Elder's freshman year. It started out well, but now some false friends and a teacher situation are dampening her spirit. And there is not one thing I can do about it. Well, we are asking for intervention with the teacher situat
You knew I wouldn't finish the hat, right?
Tuesday, 6 October 2009 7:30 A GMT-06
Well, I didn't. By the time I got done with all that needed to be done, I was just too tired to knit. So I basically went to bed. I did puzzles until about 9:30 and then it was lights out. As Hubster likes to say, we are so old sometimes. But I n
Camping
Monday, 5 October 2009 1:33 P GMT-06
We survived it. And this year it was a challenge because we took the dog. He did just fine. I borrowed a pen from Kristie to use to contain him when I got tired of holding him. He didn't enjoy being in the pen if we weren't at our campsite. W
