My Knitting Buddy

Knitting with my sweet little dog by my side...

This is truly one of life's best simple pleasures.

Beyond Blessed

Before.

After.

We're in hog heaven

with our new stainless steel appliances!

I've been planning on getting them for 7 years now

and just waiting for one of our old appliances to die..

But this summer Mr. Man said,

let's just get them now

and enjoy them that much longer.

Isn't he the best?!

And so we are.

I thought I was just getting a color change,

but we got several new bells and whistles

which I didn't anticipate.

Like a dishwasher that is so quiet

that we don't even know it's on!

Beyond blessed, I tell you.

XOXO,

Lucky Dog

Laceweight Circular Swatch

Well, I did it! 

I tried the Pi Shawl pattern

with laceweight yarn.

Isn’t it yummy?

It’s only about 6 inches across.

I must admit,

it was a bit fiddly on the DPNs,

but... look at the results.

Now I need a new laceweight project.

(!!!)

XOXO,

Lucky Dog

TGIF!

Today I've been a little LE

and I haven't really felt like myself all day.

Thank heavens I have
a knitting buddy by my side.

TGIF anyway!!

XOXO,

Lucky Dog

A True Raccoon Story

One day we saw a little baby raccoon all by himself.

There was no mama around anywhere.

This was very strange and most unusual.

Really, unheard of, for the age of this raccoon.

But the little baby was happy to just hang out and relax.

We were watching very closely, though…

Because we weren’t the only ones watching.

XOXO,

Lucky Dog

AKA Hater of the Dark Side of Nature

p.s.  Nothing bad happened that day.

           At least not on our watch.  (yikes!)
