More Cat Beds

I have decided to make at least one bed per cat, so far I have 4 done and more yarn coming in for the rest. MamaCat has finally decided that she likes it after all, maybe she likes green better than black.

Elsa and Mr. Leo enjoying the new cat bed. Everybody likes it, except she for whom I made it - MamaCat.

Another Finish

My "Project Peace" cowl was finished a while ago but there was no sunshine to take pictures in. So, here it is. Yarn is Patons Lace Sequin in Garnet.

Christmas Dessert

Baked pears with vanilla ice cream.

My official blanket tester (even if they are not quite finished yet).

Happy Winter Solstice!

Well, if the weather stays all Winter like it is today, you will not hear me complaining. Not very likely, but one can always hope. I have been a bit under the weather the last few days but I am feeling better today and here is this year's Yule Log. I used a different icing this time because I was not happy with the buttercream one last year. Seconds after I snapped the photo Mr. Moose grabbed one of the holly sprigs and made me chase him all the way into the bedroom. I love cats. Never a dull moment around here. Later I will make a big pot of mulled cider with various fruits in it and something sunny (yellow) for dinner.

Speaking of cats, there is a new kitty hanging out in my back yard, watching the bird feeder. It sure is pretty and not very shy. I wonder if new people moved into the neighborhood and it is their cat or if it was dumped. It does not look like a stray and does not seem to be hungry, I offered food twice and it did not accept it. For now I call it No. 9 (my cats are going to kill me if I bring in another one, but that is a different story).

Some recent finishes

I am trying a new pattern for my hats for the homeless shelter, it is called Dylan's Beanie. I like it, although the beginning is a little tricky, until it gets big enough to switch from DPNs to a circular needle.

Another Hipster Doily in Christmas colors.

And Miss Ruby Reindeer, the tea cozy.

Baby it's cold outside.

Jahresdecke 2016 - Endspurt

Ich habe dieses Jahr 13 Decken in verschiedenen Groessen produziert, nur die EINE, die offizielle Jahresdecke ist nicht fertig geworden. Ich habe die Lust daran verloren weil mir die Farben nicht mehr gefallen. Hier ist meine letzte fertiggestellte Decke, die ich hiermit zur Jahresdecke 2016 erklaere.

Und dies ist meine Lieblingsedecke des Jahres. Es hat ewig gedauert sie fertig zu bekommen, alles in festen Maschen gehaekelt, aber ich liebe das Ergebnis.

I have made 13 blankets in various sizes this year but the official Jahresdecke 2016 was not finished. I lost interest when I discovered that I actually do not like the colors I am using in it. It will eventually be finished and donated but just not this year. I declare my Sweet Pea Afghan as Jahresdecke and the Cat and Kitten Afghan is my favorite blanket of the year.

Nice view from up here.
