Leopard print ironing board cover
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 30, 2008
Yep, I found a leopard print ironing board cover today at TJ Maxx. I’m hoping that will entice me to get the ironing done! So far, it’s not even on the ironing board – maybe tomorrow. And if you’re lucky, I might take a pic.
I’m not a lucky wife who has a husband that will [...]
Cat beat Obama in bowling
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 29, 2008
Bowling for Boobies today was fun!!! Jim came with Cat and Nathan – altho’ Nathan wasn’t very enthused about it.
I’m proud to announce that Cat beat President Elect Obama all three games – however, one or two games it wasn’t by much! LOL
Jim was so proud of wifey because she caught on quickly on the [...]
Multi directional scarf from various sock yarns
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 26, 2008
I am only admitting this is Jennifer’s scarf because I’m writing it and then will hit publish – if you came up to the table at Panera this morning, I would have looked you in the face and said “why, yes, I did knit it!” Cat could probably vouch for me on that too! LOL
I’ve [...]

Just read on this site http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,473078,00.html that a CA doc has taken fat out of bodies (duh, liposuction) and transformed it into “gas” for his SUV and his girlfriend’s SUV!
Ladies, there is hope for all of us to make some money doing this; it just goes to the highest bidder; watch out ebay, I’ve got some [...]
Small group at Panera today (12/26/09)
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 26, 2008
Guess people were busy shopping and trying to get more bargains. LOL
Only 4 of us, Jennifer, “Karen”, Cat and me….but the needles were flying. LOL I swear that Cat must knit in her sleep – she’s knitted some of the coolest socks! I think I’ll check with her hubby on Monday if he shows up [...]
GMAC is now a bank…then
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 25, 2008
we, hubby and I, have loaned our kids money and are being paid back, loaned friends money and have been paid back; I’m thinking this would qualify as a “bank” like GMAC, and we could get bail-out money! Where do we apply?
Merry Christmas to all…and Happy Hat Holidays
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 25, 2008
This is the kind of Christmas you have when it’s just you and your hubby and the 4 dogs! He does what he wants, and I complete a hat started two days ago! Oh, yes, we were sloppy, sloppy clothes, no make-up (for me), and graze all day on munchies, cheese, cheese balls, sausage, artichoke [...]
Gotta start ‘em young

Got these pictures from Gayla showing Abby at her sewing machine. Look how excited she is and notice how nicely she’s dressed to sew.
Merry Christmas to Abby and many Happy Stitches!
Hand knitted Christmas Stocking – DONE!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 21, 2008
This is a stocking kit from Judy’s Colors purchased at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber . It’s also the first time I’ve completed something that has a chart – and I didn’t need help doing it. Yep, I’m movin’ on up….
It needs to be blocked and I need to make the I-cord for the hanger – I [...]
Abby-go-round – Abby can sew – Abby needs her own dog!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: December 21, 2008
Abby and Gayla came for a Christmas visit on Friday. I thought Abby needed to ride the antique carousel at the mall….she loved it!
After the carousel ride, and after eating lunch, we decided to hit TJ Maxx before heading back to my house to open presents. Found this outfit and lo and behold, it was [...]

- 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
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
