It's a trap!

It really is...
If you walk anywhere in our house and don't turn on the lights you run a high risk of getting caught in one of the dogs toy traps...
Ever kick a bone across the floor in the middle of the night that wasn't there when you went to sleep? I have and I lost a toenail in the process.

Ever step on a squeaky toy that was left like an offering at the side of the bed?
It's the loudest noise in the world at midnight, not to mention heart stopping.

Ever step on a cold damp stuffed hippo in the dark not knowing what the fuzzy wet substance under your foot was but praying the dogs didn't bring something in from the backyard?

This happens on a weekly basis for me...

Last night however was the best laid trap I've seen in a while, put there by Gabby. Her two favorite toys in the house perched right at the top of the stairs smack in the middle of the hall...

Thankfully I had my wits about me and I turned the light on... For sure I would have ended up in the supine position at the bottom of the stairs with my dogs sitting on top waiting to be fed.

Happy Thursday

Last night I stepped on the CAT herself. What a stupid girl, laying in the bathroom doorway without enough sense to move out of the way when she detected me moving her way.

This morning I skidded across the kitchen floor on a nylabone that was left in the middle of it and slammed into the counter...dogs thought it was great fun!

Oh my goodness, those nylabones are DANGEROUS! I've had an encounter or two with them at my home of my daughters dogs.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
