Trick or Treat

R's is the awesome one on the top! Hers always come out the best! Then under that is R's best friend's, she stepped in and carved J's for him.  And last but not least is mine! It was messy and our arms were tired but Kitty was happy so it's all good.

Hope everyone had fun on Halloween!

P.S. The muse for last years pumpkin.

Precious, even though he does weird things like hang off the coffee table like it aint no thang!

Monday Mania

Gotta love a Monday that just makes you want to crawl under a rock until it's friday again.  And today wasn't any better.

The sweater didn't work out, my stitch count got off at one point so the pattern got messed up, bummer.  Then I was just so tired last night my plan b wasn't going to happen either.  So I just settled for the red velvet sandwiches I made. Forgot pictures, my bad!

Now all I have left is to get ready to go out of town. Cleaning and packing what's up!
In the mean time, can we talk about how much I am going to miss my kitties while I am gone!! And I swear they know I'm leaving cause they both have been such cuddle bugs.  This is not unusual for B, G however is a strong independent woman and doesn't always want to snuggle her momma, but check out this pic I just snapped of her wedged between me and my knitting bag, precious.

An B, need I say more.  He legit sits like this for 10 minutes, just staring.  Melt. My. Heart.

Gotta love that Kitty Daddy accepts my obsession with these little babies.  Case in point, this little scenario from the other day.

I'll give you a little backgroung info, we were trying to get skype to work on his MacBook so we can see each other while I'm gone.  Something was wrong with his camera so we had to give up.  The next night he mentions that he is going to go to the Apple store when I leave so they can fix his whole camera situation so we can skype, then this convo happened.

KD: I'm going to go to the Apple store so they can fix my camera so skyp will work.  That way you can see
       B cause I know that's who you really want to skype.
M: Oh stop it, you know I want to see you.....holding B.

Love it!

P.S. My babies...

Snuggling!

New Project!

And it has begun! I finally started knitting again!  It's good to be back baby!

The project I decided on was The Commuter by Stephanie Sun.  Riz found this bad boy on Ravelry.   They are the perfect little love child of regular mittens and fingerless gloves.  So great for all those iPhone users out there that love fingerless gloves so they can use their phones however hate that the tips of their fingers freeze!

So my schedule worked out that I have a couple days off work in a row (yipee) and decided to start these last night to keep myself occupied and not do my summer school homework.

It hasn't been the quickest knit, however I haven't made any major mistakes either so I can't complain.  This pattern is also teaching me some new techniques which is nice, always good to improve your skills.  The first glove is just about done so I'll show you guys the finished project here soon.  (This is my trial knit before I use nice yarn. When I make them for real I'll go down a needle size or two cause they are bit big. Or I could just do a gauge swatch like I'm supposed to and go from there, we'll see.)

Happy Sunday night/Monday morning,
M

P.S. I was washing my face before getting in bed just now, and I looked over to see this.

G, what the heck are you doing in the shower? Haven't you heard, cats don't like water. Just another day in the life people.

P.S.S. I may or may not have thought of the most legit prez for my big sis for when this guy comes to town.
