Here, kitty, kitty!

I’ve been trying to practice needle felting off & on. So far I’ve only done simple round projects – a ladybug, a pumpkin pin cushion.

This white cat, Lucy, is my first attempt at something more sculpted. With one blue eye & one green eye, Lucy sits on her red heart mat.

Anyone remember the recipe for “warm”?

Unusual for Central Mississippi, we received about an inch of snow last night.

This photo was taken about 7 am Saturday morning. It was sunny today and melted away quickly.

Tonight’s low is 29 degrees but all clear.

Of course, once Radar was back inside he indulged in his favorite way to beat the winter blues.

Me – four years old

My Aunt Virginia, my dad’s younger sister, found this among her photos and was kind enough to scan it and send it to me. I’m so happy to have it.

I don’t have any photos of me as a kid, and I haven’t seen any since my teens.

I can’t tell you how grateful to her I am for sending it to me. It just really made my day. I immediately posted it everywhere I could think of and sent copies to my children.

What a great Thanksgiving gift, Virginia. Thank you so much.

iPhone/iPod socks

Here’s a few of my knitting projects lately. I’m making them for Christmas happies for friends.

It’s taken me a couple of tries to get a “pattern” I’m happy with. I’m using #4 dpns & worsted weight yarn.

It’s knit from the bottom up with a special cast on, so they’re are no seams.

I used an applied I-cord bind off when makes a nice smooth edge.

The red ones & the blue & rust one are the latest (and best) so far.
