Dropped Stitches

All right, I dropped the stitches and then picked them back up to create the 'corners' of my tote. It wasn't too bad- I only had to rip out two corners to recount stitches. Now I'm working on the pockets. I have the two end ones done and now I'm working on the largest one. I hope that I have (A) enough yarn and (B) have counted all my rows right. I would show you pictures of the bag at this point, but it looks kind of odd. Needless to say, at this point I'm not sure if it will turn out or if it will be "the project we never speak of."

In other news, I had to share with you what I discovered over the weekend, an adorable child's tea set. I have two saucers and two plates to go with the pitcher. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by, I plan to open an Etsy account in the near future!

New Project

Here's some looks at the new project I'm working on.

This last picture is where I have to bind off the top edge and drop the corner stitch, unravel ALL the way to the base of the bag and then PICK UP the stitches- I'm afraid of what's going to happen after all this work. I'll keep you posted.

Computers and Cats

Finally, I think I’ve fixed my computer. The incredibly insane thing has been having issues the last two weeks with running programs, any programs. I have no idea what was wrong with it, but I finally contacted Dell and let them have at it. Magic presto, they’ve fixed it. Love Dell, absolutely LOVE them.

In other news, I’ve adopted a new cat. Some of you have seen my black behemoth, named Misty. Typically I call her ‘Diva’ and typically she will ignore me.

Misty

About two weeks ago a new kitten started showing up at my door. After a few days I fed her (yes, I am a foolish big hearted fool). Well, the cat never left the back deck unless it was to run to the front porch. After a couple days she started walking right into the house whenever the door opened. None the less, I wound up at the vet with cat in tow and I now am the not-so-willing owner of two cats.

I’m still debating names, thus far I’ve landed on Phoebe, like the Friends character. I wanted to name her Freeloader, Freebie for short but that was quickly vetoed. Thus, I’ve settled on Phoebe (see the connection, Freebie- Phoebe?). Anybody else have any ideas?

Here Comes the Flowers!

It’s been quite lovely out lately… even though there’s a forecast for a snow flurry and it’s been raining again, I can see Spring bouncing up on us! I’m looking forward to having some time to enjoy the great outdoors this year and getting down and dirty in the garden. I am even looking forward to hopping on my John Deer and cutting some grass (yeah, I'm a girly-girl and I still like playing with my lawn mower… it’s big, it has a bunch of controls and it's fast!).Oh, and it’s a JOHN DEERE, something I’ve actually always wanted.

Also, check out the new mug I just found on one of my ventures! Stay tuned for more goodies!
