Yesterday, the Davis came over for dinner. (sorry, no dinner pic, we were enjoying the fud instead of staging and taking pics) .They rarely come over since Sh is very allergic to fuzzies. He was very brave and got doped up to visit us. This is probably the second time they has ever been over in the 4+(?) years we have known them. It was quite an occasion :)

Anyhoo. GD and I got some crafty conversations in and she was kind enough to adopt my ew-FO of Endpaper mittens. But before she walked out the door with them, one of the thumbs unraveled. (The mittens hate me! ). They are fixed now and ready to go to its new home, where it won't annoy me anymore. Maybe, work willing, tomorrow GD and I will be washing her cherry bonbon and my dumpling at the laundromat.

But before that, today, instead of the usual trapped in the house cleaning and misc, I got to spend time outside doing some fall clean up. It was sunny and warm. Beautiful day. Fuzzies say hi!

Happy birthday to the fuzzies. They are nine today :) This is now their preferred position - sleeping. (sorry, I woke up Winter when I took the pic).

Also progress on the Bird in hand mitten. It is painful to knit worsted weight wool in tiny gauge. I am also unhappy with cuff and will frog and redo, but I will have to wait until I find (or buy!) more needles. Speaking of ... I did a little therapy today and bought more Patons Classic Wool Merino. It was on sale and I need some sweater (mindless) knitting. And . ahem... stash is .. well.. too much work to dig in the boxes.

Happy New Year!

So I am sitting on the floor in the guest room blocking ...

K came and sat outside the door (they arent allow in the guest room). I got up and asked her what she wants .. she persisted a little bit. So I sat down with her in the hallway, gave her a hug, and we had a little talk. She gave me lots of kisses and went back to her pillow.

It is not that unusual for the puppies to come see what I am doing. But she was acting a little odd.It is passed her bed time and we had an eventful night. She is a very sensitive puppy. Hrmph.

I returned to the task at hand, finished, cleaned up, and about to go lay down. Duh, I smacked my forehead!
