Reindeer Games

The Knitting Companion really enjoys soft toys.
He received a lovely white Reindeer
this month from my mom.
(yes, she is
fondly referred to
as the Knitting Companion's

Grandmother.)
Here, you can see a bit of fun with a new
reindeer. That is, while it was still
clean and white.






kitchen view, again, no food



A bright view of my Mom-provided,
kitchen curtain. With Cheery Cherries.
How can you say no to that?

Very happy birthday wishes today to
my friend Cathy.

September 19, is

Be prepared.

this site, for "The official site for Talk like a Pirate Day"


the mini hats are here


For Innocent Drinks,
here are two tiny hats.
Must get them packed up for the mail.
there are two hats in the photo - don't
be distracted by the large
bottle of alcohol. The second hat
is in the orchid.

we'll talk about the Hat Model later on.

new home for a jade plant.



i found a nice jade tree, of sorts,
this week.

for now, it's sitting next to an orchid.
You just never know what you'll
find at the grocery store.

a nice drink but not a Hat Model





Well, my little hats for
"The Big Knit" are knit and sewn up.
it's time to show them before they go out
in the post.

I tried to find an appropriate model
to show them off, so they wouldn't look
like little knit-up blobs. I don't have
an "Innocent" Drink here,
so i've been improvising.

So far, i can show you what
did not work out as a hat model....



may i present to you,
St-Germain.
as you can see by the bottle,
it calls itself
La vie parisienne en bouteille.
Last i heard,
my friend Gabby had not yet
tried this lovely drink.
I hope this helps her out.

the only thing is, the bottle doesn't
make a good Hat Model.

Special Cup

Special cup to start the day.


Such a cheerful mug.
Hand made, lovely to hold.
and who can feel grumpy when they wake up to a
smiling pink pig ?
