CATS ..... and clean sheets.

What is it about making a bed, especially when putting on clean sheets, that attracts every cat in the house. They must have a keen ear for the stripping of a bed. Or do they sniff out the scent of clean sheets. Whatever it is, my cats are always right in the middle of bed making. I've tried to call their bluff and just make up the bed as though they weren't there, thinking that they would move when the blanket and quilt went on. Wrong! I just have a bed made up with a big lump in it. So today, instead of chasing cats, I let them have their afternoon nap on the bed and finished up later when they were having their dinner.

GOING TO THE RV SHOW

Well, every year about this time our fairgrounds sponsors an RV show. We went a couple of years ago and believe me, I remember all the RVs. I don't really need to go see them again. But my FC is so determined to see the USA in an RV that every chance he gets, he tries to entice me. So I will go ....... and I will look ...... and I will keep an open mind. Wish me luck that an RV doesn't follow me home.

The felted bag........




..... it's just the right size for taking a small project in. I think it turned out really nice. What's not to like about Noro?

A LOT ACCOMPLISHED

Prior to my "after Christmas" illness, I really got a lot done. I had hoped to take pictures of my gorgeous creations but somehow everything just seemed to slip away without being photographed. The Camo fleece did make a wonderful robe for Grandson Zane. He loved it and wouldn't take it off all day. The jammies were a little big on Rowen but still nice for this year and next. The Banner. Yes, it finally got the binding on it and it stills hangs in the dining room of my best friend. Since it says "Winter Blessings" I think it will be up until the first day of spring. And the curtains.....how can I forget the eight panels that fit so perfectly and gave my daughter's downstairs family room a warm rosy glow. PERFECT. It was good to get so much done.

So........ Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. Were you ready? Did you make all those "give-up" promises for lent? Did you make all those commitments to diet and exercise? Well, I did. Pretty basic. Less food, more exercise and try to be more productive. I'm off to a good start but then this is only day two.

The shawl I made while I was sick was one of those things that got away without a picture but I am going to take a picture of my finished Noro felted bag soon. It turned out really cute. Thanks Susan for the beautiful Noro yarn.

Now back to the spinning wheel to finish up some 50/50 kid mohair and border leicester. I'll have some pictures in a couple of days.
