I got nothing.

Ravelry and Etsy

Are to blame for my lack of posting.
And my red eyes.
And my headache.
And my tired hands.
And my new bag.

I can't remember her name...

I was washing dishes this morning, by hand since I still can't pick things up that are low to the ground(like the stuff in the dishwasher), when I remembered one of my boyfriends' grandmothers saying something along the lines of "Then she went and ran water over them plates, did she think my wrench water weren't good enuff?" She wasn't talking about me, thank goodness, but some prissy thing one of her sons had brought home.
We were at her house that day for supper and I remember she always made the best baked cornbread I had ever eaten and she always made two pans of it because everyone liked the dark brown crunchy crust so much that she wanted us all to have plenty. She didn't get mad that we didn't eat the rest of the cornbread, just put it in a pot to feed the dogs and chickens the next day.
I still haven't made baked cornbread as good as hers though I keep trying.
That blessed woman has probably passed on by now but I will always remember her with fondness for her simple country cooking and her colorful country speech.
The sun is shining here and I have stuff to do, I just wanted to put in words one of the smiles in my heart today.

The Cat and the Hat

Opal makes sure I tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Opal hates his doggy sweater and begs me to take it off.

Opal then convinces Blue to try on his sweater. Blue is not impressed.

I, however, like being able to see the Blue against the hardwood floors for once.

Finally a glam shot of me in my new hat. Yes I made it myself.
I made Opal's sweater too.

A little help here?

Being one who plucks her brows, and knowing there are others out there who do the same I have need of a bit of advice.
What do you do when one of those little buggers gets ingrown?
Aside from pick at it incessantly which certainly does not help the situation.

Lexington

Someone (and I'm not saying who) had a wild and crazy time!


Funnycide is truly a naughty boy!

I may or may not post pics.
