I suppose it’s no secret that I’ve turned into a puzzle freak these days. The thing is that I listen to TONS of talks, books on tapes and webinars and I absolutely MUST do something while I listen. If I have a non complicated crochet project, then that’s my busy-hands-project-of-choice. But if not–it’s a puzzle baby!
Sweet little Lyla, taking a much needed nap. Babies coming any day now. Hee hee!!
Did I mention my thing with puzzles? Yeah, I’m not kidding. This one felt good to work on while it was snowing outside.
This pretty little pattern was the forest-y colored request from mama for Linky’s baby blanket. It was soooo soft and stretchy. I have to pretend that the blanket is actually a hug from Grammy.
Can’t have much of a post about things to love without our crazy man Hobbes being in it. I don’t think he has slept in the same position twice in his life! Haha. We love him so much. He’s such a gooood boy.
This might not look like much to you–but this is a BIG, ENORMOUS deal! When I bought this funny old house, I was stumped that the thermostat was in the bedroom. Weird, right? I mean, in order for the family room to be even slightly warm or cold the bedroom had to be a furnace or icebox. No happy medium what-so-ever.
Well, I’ve fussed about it for years now and thought, ‘why on earth isn’t that thermostat on the front room wall instead of the bedroom wall?’
One day, my sweet son-in-law came to my house and announced that he was moving the thermostat to the right wall. Just like that! And that is exactly what he did!! If you hear squealing from somewhere it’s probably me!
Thank you SO much Josh!!! My house is finally even tempered. Haha. Love you!! 
For a million years now, I’ve had broken, dilapidated photo albums and boxes and stacks of photos. Well not any more! HA! I’ve taken them all and sorted the pictures and put them in nicely labeled tubs. Now, I know all the historians out there won’t like how I’m storing them–for posterities sake. But I promise you, this is better than how it was. Plus, it makes me really happy. We call that a win/win.
Annnnnd again with the puzzles. I can’t help it. It’s a serious problem….
that I love.
For the last two litters. she had some variation of white brown striped tabbies–much like herself. We did get a bit of that–like this one– a sweet grey tiger wth white paws.
