Kitty in front of Christmas Tree

How much do I like Christmas Cat?  Lisa Hannon Fox is the author of this potholder as well as my kitty scarf that I worked on for almost a full year (See September 5). Her most recent pattern is this sweet kitty is sleeping in front of a Christmas tree. I purchased it right away and had it knitted up within a day!

Hark, How the Bells! Sweet red and white bells!

Getting all my Christmas potholders out there. A Christmas bell in red and white is always a welcomed sight. Again, this was picked up somewhere on Pinterest. 

 

My Divas gift this year

Every Christmas, my Diva group has a holiday party and gift exchange. Normally, we meet every six weeks or so, but this is the gathering in which we invite our hubbies. It is one of the best celebrations of the year. 

Our group met years ago when our children were in high school and we were all active in the theater and music departments. Our kids moved on to college and careers, but we stayed together. Those kids are now in their 30's and 40's, but we are still together.

I try to make something special for my friend for this Christmas so this year, I got some cotton terry cloth yarn and made face cloths. I also purchased some fancy soaps to go with them. I got wonderful gifts too, such as a hand painted pictures of the five of us, hand soap, socks, a journal, and ornaments. Great Christmas haul! 

 

Christmas Dove

This potholder is celebrating peace for the holiday season. The colored yarn is Hipster in Desert Skies  and the other is dark blue. It came out so beautiful. The pattern is, again, from Pinterest, just typing in "dove."

The dove is flying hoping for all of you to have wonderful holiday season.

 

What a Good Stretch!

This potholder is in honor of our wonderful black kitty Omi. She still misses our kitty Wookie (oh, so do I) so she is more affectionate now. She is in my lap right now, and will stay there until I move her. 

 

 

Catching up on some Scrubbies

I am doing a small craft gathering this weekend, so I had to catch up on my supply of scrubbies. These are really one of my best sellers. I give one to a friend and she almost always comes back to me willing to buy more as gifts. They are really quick to knit up; in fact, I can complete one on the trip from our home to Fort Collins to visit our son.

So here is my most recent stash of scrubbies.

Looking for Big Foot, the safe way

If you know me, you know I have a healthy interest in Bigfoot. I have never seen one, nor had any occurrence that could be construed as possible. Actually, the only way I would want to see one is if one was passing in front of us while driving, and I would like to catch it on our dashcam. 

However, they fascinate me to the point that I have been to the Sasquatch Museum twice. If you have a chance, visit it in Bailey, Colorado. www.sasquatchoutpost.com. Bailey is a small town in the mountains southwest of the Denver area. I bet you will leave that place believing there is a good chance Big Foot exists. It is really a blast!

 

Lady Bug Potholder

Basically, I have a bug phobia. However, my son points out to me that my phobia is not pure. I like butterflies, dragonflies, and lady bugs, and I tolerate bees. Okay, I'll give him that. Just don't make me like any other, and especially spiders. I cherish my phobias (bridges make me very nervous).

I got this design from Pinterest so I don't have link to the pattern. However, type in "ladybug chart" in the search engine, and you will get many sizes and designs. I also have a lot of red yarn to use up.
