A week into May, still quite cool. I had turned the furnace off, but when the inside temperature dropped into the upper 50s I turned the furnace back on. I am wearing a jacket outside, even when doing yard work. I am not overheating. 

Jade Speckle from Red Heart Yarn. This is the final blanket until fall. Although we have had some cooler weather this is actually the last of the yarn! Yes, I got through my stash. I did have some additional yarn, but I don't duplicate colors during the donation year and what I still had I had already done. 

While this is the last blanket, hats making has been started. 

 


Want to acknowledge the loss of a good blogging friend Jackie Avery. While we never met face to face, there was a connection of being fellow cat mom's to some wonderful ginger cats. Now reunited with Eric and Flynn, but husband Ivor is left behind. 


 Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Mom to two legged or four legged kids. With and without fur!

    Teal is my favorite color, so this blanket is right up my alley!
    Also love hot or bright pink; what a combo, eh?
    We too had windows open, then had to put the furnace back on.

    You've gotta love the people who ask you to 'whip something up' for them - sometimes they even offer to pay for the yarn. Happens to quiltmakers too. They have NO IDEA. None! And if you can be bothered to explain how much the raw materials will cost and how long it will take to make, they end up thinking you're absolutely bonkers: why are you even doing this when you could just go down to the department store and buy something for a quarter of the price.

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...
