Happy Friday! Thankful that the weather has been quiet for the past week and things are drying out. The grass has been growing so I hauled out the lawn mower and evened out the areas that were getting shaggy. Need to do some pruning on the trumpet vine and the one lilac too. 

We have had nice weather which means the windows have been open. I like it and so does Dobby. He is getting better with the carrier, that is where he gets his daily treats.

 

Getting towards the end of crochet season, at least for blankets. I have one I am working on and then one more to go for the spring. Then I can refill my shelves. I will have used the rest of the yarn on the right hand shelves. 


This blanket is made with Arcade Party from Big Twist. I have used this color before, lots of bright primary colors.  



 





 Happy Weekend.

    It’s great to get him comfortable with the carrier, it makes things so much easier.

    Your blanket is beautiful.

    Hah, what the yarn sees!
    We've had higher than normal temps, but now, of course, it's cool again.
    Purrfect weather to take a nap with a cat.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
