They’re all grown up now. They wandered around for a few hours and then sailed off down the river.
I’ve been trying to make these little round numbers to applique. They are making me crazy. I almost threw them out. I probably would have if I hadn’t embroidered them. I hated to waste them. Now I’m trying to decide how I want to make the back. I still have some wide red strips that would look nice.
So, no dog walk. I made some mashed potatoes and took a shower. When the potatoes cooled, I made roll dough and put them in the refrigerator until tomorrow. While Doug made up his mind as to what he wanted to bake, I finished the embroidery.
I love my embroidery machine. This is going to be a label to put on the back. I’m also doing some applique.
Here’s another picture of the label.
Doug went with cherry almond muffins. It was a mix that I bought in Intercourse last week. And they were good, too. Maybe, I’ll make buckwheat pancakes Thrusday morning. It’s another mix, too.
I am very happy with the way this is looking. There are no shoulder seams. You knit down from the back.It nice to do something different. The yarn is a lovely combination of cotton, wool and nylon. It feels soft and is easy to knit.
Olive helped.
Cora is doing her exercises. She likes to drag herself across the rug.
Doug talked me into it. They have the carpet stuff that he likes to use. I was hoping for butter pecan syrup, but it seems they don’t carry it anymore. Bummer. We bought a bunch of stuff that I know I wouldn’t have bought otherwise. I also got a ham and a turkey. Now I’ll have to cook them. I like to make yeast rolls and apple pies, but all that smelly meat is too much. I’m not a vegetarian. I’m just not a big meat-eater—- or cooker. My son is off on Thanksgiving and Friday so he’s coming down and I’ll have another person to eat it. I am feeling better the last few days so I think I’ll be better this year. I think going to the cemetery early this year was the right thing to do.
I wear one everyday. I have over two hundred. I stopped counting. This morning, I got this one out and laid it on my bed with my clothes.
Little Miss Flo jumped up on the bed, decided she liked it and ran off with it in her mouth. I managed to get it back before she hid it someplace.
How can something so sweet be so bad? She makes me crazy.
My husband bought this faucet on-line about a year and a half ago. About one year ago he promised he would install it while I was away. About once a month, I remind him that it is still laying on the living room floor in its box. What was his problem? He was afraid he’d screw it up. I reminded him that he can afford to have a plumber do it and that there is a decent one in town. Well…. He called him on Monday and today we have a new faucet! Yea!!
I always have too many books and magazines on my end table. I get ideas and go digging for stuff to help me decide and I have even more on my table. I try to clean it off once a month, but it’s more apt to be two or three. I was very surprised at the number of catalogues that I had every intension of looking through and never did. Why do I get them? Some, like Patternworks, I haven’t bought from for ten years. Most I also get e-mails from. It makes me crazy.
That’s it. Olive has been waiting for my lap all afternoon.
These were a lot of fun to make. I liked the yarn and the bobble with the I-cord is adorable. I plan to make one more pair, but not yet. I’ve started the baby kimono from IK Holiday Gifts using the Sockotta that I bought in Chester. This is the first magazine that I bought from IK since I stopped subscribing. I actually found several things that I would knit.
