Veterans Day

It's Veterans Day today. Thank a Veteran if you know one. I didn't get the day off, I'm not one of the lucky ones who gets the day off to go to all the Veterans Day sales. Everything is so commercial.

I made a couple more cat toys over the weekend. These are for my cousin's kitty. They're in the mail to her as a surprise. But no mail today, so hopefully she'll get them tomorrow.

They work up quickly. I need to make some for my kitties.

I had my Katie cremated. This is the urn I will keep her in. I thought it was so cute. A kitty and yarn.

I really miss that cat.

I've been working on the Spring Forward socks. I have the heel turned on one. Yay!

This is the best heel I've done so far. Now it's onto the foot. But I may set it aside for a few days and work on something else. Can't show you yet.

So tell me, what are you working on?

Moving along on my socks

I'm just moving right along on my socks. I got both heels done. Yay me! I like the contrast color. And I will definitely have enough of the contrast for the toes.

I also made another pincushion. This one is for my Mom. Her birthday is Friday. I bought some nice bright pins to put in it too. Even if she never uses it, she can enjoy looking at it. Fun to make!

I took some of the cash I got for my birthday and bought myself a new sewing lamp. It's not an Ott light, but that's OK, it serves the purpose. It's so nice and bright. I love it! I haven't been sewing much lately, it's so hot and I just get real lazy when it's like this outside even with the AC turned on.

I still need to rearrange the sewing machine set up and get the old lamp out of there and put the new one on the sewing cabinet. And then sew! It will be really nice to have a bright light in that area. After writing about sewing, now I feel like sewing!
