orchid

While we were in Atlanta we got to visit my friend Danielle. She gave me this yummy orchid which I have put in the kitchen window. I don’t know what color it is. I will tell you when it blooms.

Knitting Kitty

The back of the MustHave is going slowly. So slowly, in fact, that I am embarrassed to show you a picture of my progress. But Betty is learning to knit and I have taken a picture of her first project.

Betty and her finished project, Angus looking noble.

Angus is unimpressed by Betty’s mad skills. Three guesses where she got the yarn.

One of the reasons progress has slowed dramatically is that we have been moving into the house (there is still no ‘fridge, but my Uncle needed the attic for office space so we accelerated the progress). Which is good and bad. It is good because I love the house. I mean I really love it. And I love my furniture. And I love being here. But I also loved being at the Farm. Because it’s beautiful and quiet and Great Gran is there and I saw her all the time and it was Just Good. And I know she is just 10 minutes away but it’s not the same. So I am all happy to be here in town and weepy at the same time. I am also concerned about the noises in the wall. I think there might be something alive in there. And frankly, people, that’s really creeping me out.

I should be able to make better headway on the MustHave tomorrow, since I am going out to the Farm to spend the day. Great Gran has company coming tomorrow night so my plan is to help get ready (except she has already done everything so I will graft her sock toe and work on my sweater) and be Entertaining.

OH! I forgot to mention, my spring Interweave is here! And I have left it at the Farm. Drat it! So I can’t tell you which pages I found intriguing. You’ll just have to live in suspense.
