Misty (also known as Mama Kitty) guarding her scratchy thing
I did get it for her since she was going after the carpet a bit much

Felix in the tall box...been great amusement for him

And the so called runt of the litter that barely fits in the window sill that he needs to brace his feetsies on the headboard.... Yeah the runt is my biggest cat. Loves his belly rubs when in the window sill though....

I'm quirky with an European flair....

Why? Cause of this....


Yep he made it safe and sound....my Scarabeo 200 Aprilia scooter.... Need to practice starting and stopping but I'm okay once going! He still needs his mirrors and windshield to be attatched but I don't have directions on how to do that (in the mail...). And he needs to be cleaned (darn sprinklers) and a cover (protect him from the evil sprinklers).
And boy am I grateful to have really good friends that are willing to meet at Home Depot to unload a scooter and take it back to my apt.... Be baking some brownies from scratch for one of these people here soon (course I think her son and beau will be the ones eating them....but thats okay)

And I saw this on Cami's blog then Miss Melly did it too.... and I just had to do it myself...

Mosaic of me....

And apparently I can knit a baby hat in 24 hrs...who knew?


Started another baby item and have the back done--another baby kimono...










And my enabler of Milwaukee is sending me non-yarn knittery related items now....


Specially designed for the desert knitter.... (actually Karat Stix made a lovely custom collection for dragonfly....)

Sad note...last of the Keegan Spring Fling yarn.... and its a purty one too...


Really need to get some more socks knitted....

And just to show off my non-knitting crafts...made some goodies as part of the Teal Appeal swap via Ravelry.... Made a row counter bracelet with matching stitch-markers (also sent some lovely teal/ocean blue yarn of Keegan Lane)













Card that held them and the bracelet... Recipient was quite happy and I'm happy she liked them (wore the bracelet immediately)

Uh I think thats it....going to eat then make some brownies....

ETA--Forgot! Will be going on a date! And get to go rock climbing again!

And I have returned...

Thank goodness this month is almost over....although it is ending a whole lot better....

Work problem is finally taken care of....

I had finally got to have fun that had no importance whats so ever....(karaoke of all things)

I have been knitting...finished projects, started others...

Have a 'pair' of socks.... Actually I did start the 2nd Tendril (left sock's mate), have about 3.5" of the cuff done













Baby Kimono is done except for embellishments. Need to get some for one and two want to make sure it really is going to be a boy.... Next is a denim baby wash rag (not quite long enough to be the burp cloth....) Was some cotton yarn that was thrown in via Cami....
And then the start of a baby hat....

Oh and yeah as you can tell-I have internet at home again cause otherwise I wouldn't be able to be blogging right now.... Have a better modem than before but took a bit for my computer and it to 'talk'

My new blue scooter will be here tomorrow, really hope bribing with beer helps cause I need some help...

And yes I did take naps with my babies...especially Felix-was having a needy swing here

Oh and more yarn! Yarn for modern quiltwrap via Clementine's, First installment of Punk Sock Club via Lotus Yarns.... and by end of the week I should get my last installment of Keegan Spring Fling Sock yarn...

Oh the yummy yummy yarn.....

Since I got stuck with pukey nephew yesterday (good thing though-otherwise Sis couldn't go to her lunch) we went yarn shopping! First the Loop which we did go to thier old location when I was out here early Sept. Then onto Ruhamas....

First group from the Loop--I too got Misty Alpaca in a blue/purple verigated color which is going to become a diagonal rib scarf for a new friend who is being the best kitty sitter ever. Even my shy little Boo comes out to see her for playtime and lovies. The other skeins are Alpaca Silk by Blue Sky. Got peacock, black (night is the official color name) and plum which will become some type of striped lacey wrap of some sort with beads.... They are supersoft and they look really pretty together....

Now for the Ruhamas group! Got this pink and orange ribbon yarn (Duet by artful Yarns) because of this pattern that Sis found....Looks like a good top for me in the desert and this was knitted up at the shop and it looked quite nice. Then there is that bright pink and orange sock yarn-Bearfoot by Mountain Colors-Hand Painted Yarns called Sun River.....Think I'm heading down a dangerous path sock wise..... And speaking of socks since Sis has mentioned that I have started on the cuff well I suppose I should post new pics of my elf sock but its fitting wonderfully! despite lookin a little silly when off my foot....

Hard to tell its an elf sock in this pic....but it really does look like one

And there it is on my foot-doesn't look elfish at all when on my wierd pointy toed foot.... Have 'bout two inches of the cuff done--going to knit til I run out of my half skein but its almost a complete sock! That fits! Yeah me!
