Kitties and yarn

Babies, children, and puppies

Several weeks ago we had fun with the little ones.


A ten month old baby

12 week old puppies

"Shall we play?"




Time to sleep.

Relaxing

Today is my day off and I have been playing around. One of the things I did was take pictures of


Habitat. I am stretching myself and knitting Jared Flood's hat, cabling with charts. It has been fun and I am loving the yarn, Portland Tweed.




I have also been watching and playing with Emma and Molly. They are 11 weeks old today.

How to take pictures of puppies

The other day I was attempting to take pictures of Emma and Molly for a holiday ad.

I discovered that expecting 10 week old puppies to sit still and pose is absolutely ridiculous.


Until we are done with the photo shoot.

Where to put it all

New yarn, new bags, new models, new goodies.


We are carrying a new line of yarn - Tonic by Jojoland. It is a worsted weight with 220 yards and we have 60 different colors.



An entrelac hat made with Tonic.


Soho Hat with Ty Dy Dots.


A pumpkin made with unspun Icelandic and Lamb's Pride.



Felted wine holder knitted with Lamb's Pride.



Bags and baskets from Lantern Moon.



Yarn Hallow's October Shawl.




Ruffle my Feathers knitted in Opal handpainted sock yarn.






Vortex knitted in Jojoland Rhythm.

And there is more on the way. We are loading up for winter knitting and holiday giving.

Shoppe puppies in training

Meet Emma and Molly. They are sisters and are 8 weeks old.

Scotty Terriers, brindle colored.





And full of it.









Until it is nap time.

A Blustery Day

I am not Winnie the Pooh, but we are experiencing a very blustery day. It started yesterday afternoon when our power went out at the shoppe.



Then today, this happened next door.



Now this....
Happy Windy Day!

How I spent my birthday

I was fortunate to spend my birthday at Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs. I attended a statewide conference for child support (my paying job) and had the opportunity to meet with my co-workers from all over the state. We do this once a year and this year it landed on my birthday.

This is the view from outside of my window.

It was a great conference, spent with wonderful people, learning about new and updated items.

And I love fall!!!!

It is Done!

I blocked it and now I am wearing it.



Lovely yarn, lovely pattern, lovely scarf.

Life is good (especially since it is also the fall season).

Get your dogs on

We love knitting. We love kitties. And we love puppies.

Meet Hallelujah, a Briard.

She had a great time checking out the shoppe.



This is Rory. He is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.


He never sits still.




Always in motion.

What to do when you are not knitting

When I went over to the Post Office the other morning, I saw these.

Nothing like cruising.
