Miss B just got her first set of wheels. Her mother is a big
fan of freecycle why pay all that money for a short time of play.
Most of my yard sale haul this weekend was an amazing
amount of the sweetest clothes for her.
Of course I did get myself a few things.
This mug was on a white elephant table.I know the potter.
she is well into her 80's and last I knew still hiking and skiing.
A blogger (I am sorry I don't remember who) showed she made one of these cakes.
I remember them from the 70's and wanted to make one of my own.It reminded me of when I was first married. And for 50 cents I will
be baking a checkerboard cake soon.
And yes miracles of miracles I have picked up a hook again. This is my primitive cat in all her glory.
After seeing it in this photo I may take out the lighter wool.

It is a cold rainy day so I have meatloaf and baked potatos in the oven.
and I believe I will curl up and hook some more tonight.
Have a great week.

I make no secret of the fact that I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it.

Miss Baby looks so grown up already. What a cutie. The cake looks like a lot of extra work but very interesting.
You are one step ahead of me as I still haven't had much time to hook and put my rug and hook away for now.
Have a good week. JB

Show us more of your rug! I'd say if the lighter strips are no lighter than what is showing in the pic, I'd wait a while to see if you really want to reverse hook. I think it looks pretty darned good.
Miss Baby is getting cuter by the day!
Pug hugs :)

Love freecycle, especially for kids, their stuff is so expensive!
Mmmm, meatloaf and baked potatoes! Yum! Any green beans to go with that dinner? Apple pie for dessert . . .
Love the quote too! LOL!!!
It sounds like your week-end has had much to enjoy in it! That's as it should be.
Miss B sure is a cutie! Behind the wheel already?! Where did the time go?!!!
I like your pottery mug and it's neat you know the potter!
You are having cold? and rainy weather? Wow! Can't remember what that's like!
Good to see you hooking again..... if I can get out of these dye pots for a few days I hope to start hooking my new design!

I can't imagine a cold and rainy day yet. It's going to be about 100º tomorrow - normal for this time of the year. Some of my leaves are changing too - but from not enough water! LOL
Trying to catch up and I'm so happy to hear hubs had a good report. Now I must go check out his blog. (Lovin' Miss B - so cute!)
Miss B in her new set of wheels looks adorable! I hope you'll show us the hooked cat when it's done too! :)
