Baby it's cold out there.

Kitty pictures

It's cold here. Temp this morning was -26. Tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. Winter is getting old and it's only mid January. I think we are getting soft. We used to have winters like this all the time and thought nothing of it. That's just how it was. The last 2 warm, open winters really spoiled us.

I've finished the stocking hat and will start on the mittens. Maybe when I get them done I'll post a picture of everything. I'm burned out with the camera...tryed taking pictures of the cats yesterday. Most every picture was blurry. I did get these:











Aren't they pretty kitties?? BTW though, we still need a name for the white and red kitty. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Back to your regular programming

I don't have a picture to prove it but I'm shaping the crown on my stocking hat so it should be coming to an end soon. I can't wait...I really want to get back to my Peace Fleece cardigan. Although with all the weight I gained over Christmas it may be a tight fit. Just another reason to stop eating all the leftover candy!!

We missed the stormy weather yesterday but there is more in the forecast for Sunday night and Monday and THEN we get below zero daytime high temperatures for a few days. Won't that be FUN!?!

The pattern doesn't call for a pom pom on top of the hat but I'm considering putting one on it. Maybe not a good look for someone my age??

I was a little quick on complaining about the new No Name kitty. He's getting friendlier and more playful every day. We just can't come up with a name for him yet. I actually ordered a name your cat book online to give us a little help. I hope there is something there that we can agree on...

The picture says it all!

New Kitty

Over the very stormy weekend, DH and I traveled to Minneapolis and got a new kitty. Poor thing just doesn't have a name yet. We don't like what he came with and we can't agree on a new one. So for now he is either Kitty or No Name. As I said....poor thing.

He's a bit nervous yet and seems to not like me much. He doesn't run away nearly as quickly when DH moves around as he does when I do. So that combined with the cloudy weather (yet again) I'm a bit blue. I'd love to go home and have him sit in my lap and purr but I know THAT won't happen. Of course in the overall scope of things this is minor. But it still is discouraging when your own cat doesn't care for you. Agh!

Ok, somebody slap me now and help me get over it.

Feet Finished

Finally got these suckers finished! Feels like I talked about them more than I actually knit on them....Uff. Anyway they are done and delivered. Will have to ask 3rd DS what he thinks of them. I have a feeling that his kitty will definitely like them. He is a wool lovin' kitty....

Stormed over the weekend and now we have even more snow. It is really starting to stack up along the streets and it's only January. What'll it be like by March if it keeps on like this?? We'll be driving through tunnels! ;)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing everyone peace, prosperity, health and lotsa FO!
