Ridiculous perhaps. But oh so fun.

About one day a year my sister, mom and I manage to find a day where we're all in the same state and have the same afternoon free. It's probably a good thing that it doesn't happen more than once a year because we do a good job at stocking up on projects while we're together.

This year's favorite pattern find was a little felted snowman- you put him out next to a bowl full of hats and scarves so little fingers can change his outfit all day long.

After my sister left, Mom and I spent the next few days knitting away and I got mine almost done (all but the arms...). He's been sitting in our living room and I've had so much fun changing his little outfit- I'm still not sure if I'll be able to put the little guy away until winter!

Visit from the WA Fam

My sister brought her family down for a visit and for a few days we got to live in the world of super heroes and tea parties. So much fun!

Oh to be a kid again...

Georgie got a Pet Kitten

I know. I know. Another cat? That's what we kept thinking too.

It's just that Georgie is, as far as cats go, very social . I really like having a pet around to cuddle with but playing with animals isn't as fun to me. And to be honest, some days giving my full , undivided attention to a cat was just a little much. So we got her a pet. We called him our trial kitten. Young enough that we could still give him away if Georgie didn't like him, old enough not to need a real kitten mama. We fooled ourselves into thinking we were deciding whether or not to keep him. We ran several tests to see if he made our house smell too much like cats. Did some calculations on how much he'd cost. Wondered how in the world we'd live with all these cats everywhere. (we're still wondering that one)

But in the end we just waited for Georgie to decide. First we noticed the meowing at the end of the stairs was silenced (well, almost). Then I cut out a whole sewing project without stopping to play. Our cat had a playmate and he wasn't me.

I guess we're keeping him.
