Projects Abound





Lots of projects going on here but not many finished.  I did finish my crochet challenge for the month of November. I had to haul out my trusty sewing machine that was given to me as a Christmas gift by my daughter, (bless her soul) after my old one had pooped out on me.  When I got the machine out I realized that the needle was broken and I did not have any extra needles in the house so on the list that went.... a few days pass and Ta Da.. I come across a package of needles in a thrift store made just for my machine (Singer) that only cost $1.25 a $10.00 savings at least.  See what I get myself into when I attempt a project.



Above is the finished November project, another pillow, except this one was made into a pillow cover. I had to add fabric to the outside edges because when I first set up the number of stitches I did not make it wide enough, Oh well, seemed to turn out OK anyway. 




Above is how more projects get generated! At the same thrift store that I was able to get the sewing machine needles at, they had a sale on yarn. At first I was not going to get their yarn because it was way more than I like to spend on second hand stuff but the friend I was with (bless her soul) pointed out that they were having a 50% off sale - it said so on the bin! I'm not observant at all.  So as you can see I scarfed up as much as I thought I had purpose for.  When we got to the checkout the cashier did not want to give us the discount but finally agreed, that if the sign was up the deal was good, otherwise I would have said Keep It!  I'm to cheep and there are to many thrift stores near me to pay to much anywhere for anything!!  
So now I have enough yarn to keep me busy for awhile, maybe.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving or weekend depending on where you live on this beautiful planet.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
