Between watching the WKU Hilltoppers BEAT number 3 ranked U of L Cardinals this afternoon (GO TOPS!), little Sofi decided to join Oliver in his bed. Only Sofi could worm her way into another dog’s bed!!! They were both snoozing until they heard me zoom in with the camera.
Why the house is a mess and no Christmas decor out yet….

I’ve been working like a mad fool on this knitted Christmas Stocking – This is the first time I’ve attempted working from a graph – I like it! I also love the way the top of the stocking is knitted so it looks like a cuff.
This is the Candy Cane Christmas Stocking from Judy’s Colors [...]
Tidbits from last week

Yes, folks, ’tis the season that’s busy for all of us!
Last Monday was hubby’s birthday. At Bowling for Boobies I won a pizza – yep, his birthday dinner was a pizza from the bowling alley. However, we did have a fabulous ice cream cake that we’re still eating!
Roasted a 24 lb. turkey for the 2 [...]
Scarf being modeled – tee hee
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: November 29, 2008
Didn’t this turn out gorgeous?! For all the aggravation and grief getting this baby started, it was worth it! I love the gentle variations of the dye and will be making more of these!
I would love to tell you who the model is, but I promised to cut off her head. Isn’t that a true [...]

This was such a cute picture last night on the couch….(L to R) Sofi, Oliver, (how dare you interrupt my sleep with a flash of a camera) and Derby.
Another gorgeous scarf!

Finally finished this scarf!!! It’s on the “drying board” as I type.
It really is an easy pattern even tho’ I started it over and over and over, probably 8 – 10 times. LOL Apparently, I was having focus problems.
Used sock weight yarn because I wanted it to be light weight. More for looks than warmth. [...]
A new bowling ball…..
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: November 9, 2008
And I can’t believe I haven’t taken a picture of it! Rest assured, there will be a photo posted sometime this week, maybe even tomorrow!
I have the prettiest ball – it’s leopard print!
Have only had it for a week, so I’m tweaking it and getting used to it…for instance…tonight’s scores were: 95 (go figure), 181 [...]

Thursday found Sally and I headed to Bowling Green Country Club to the first Christmas Open House. Was very crowded and difficult to see much, so eventually we left.
On the way home, she asked if I had anything planned – and me being a spur-of-the-moment type of person answered “No, what do you want to [...]
Dorothy and Toto
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: November 7, 2008
The bowling group I belong to on Weds. mornings does Halloween in fine style! Dressing up, bringing in food to eat and no one cares what score they bowl!
Last year I was a tacky Biker Babe so this year I decided to do something tame – Dorothy and Toto, with my baby Sofi as Toto. [...]
Brain Fat cures Brain Fog – at least for me it has
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: November 4, 2008
Some weeks back I was complaining about not being able to think clearly, feeling like I had a “fog” in my head. A friend, told me to try Brain Fat! Well, after laughing about it, she said that as you get older, you lose brain fat and it needs to be replaced.
Well, anyone that knows [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
