Comfort Week - Day one


I am participating in Comfort week hosted by: Frenchy's Finds
Day one is food!

This may seem simple however there's a story why pistachios are my comfort food. I have a nut allergy to all nuts but peanuts and pistachios. A while back I got refered to get some allergy testing to confirm the severity of the allergy, the appointment at the time was 18 months away! Pistachios hadn't bothered me before so I kept with them. They are comforting cause I know I can grab'em for recess at work or if I am on the run!

Here's my second favorite nut!
ps....I don't understand how to place pictures....I really don't.

Some Knitting...






Today I started some deer mittens for my friend. She provided me with a picture of some that she saw in an airport. I am making them like this as well as using the pattern for gator mitts. These are in progress...

So far this year I've knit 3 hats, two that are seen in the picture are for my husband, and one for a baby that as born on FRIDAY! Also I have knit 2 pairs of baby mitts, 2 pairs of adult mitts, and one adult mitt, and one deer mitt(to be assembled)! I feel this is excellent progress so far. I get about 25 mins of knitting time after working waiting for my husband. I would get 45 but I have to walk and get the car. It's part of our deal, he drops me off in the morning, parks the car, walks to work. I walk to get the car, drive down to get him, knit and then he drives home! Yeah for sneaked in knitting time!

It snowed here, and is still snowing. Hope there is a snow day tomorrow!












Bloglife and camera.




I am not very good at bringing my camera along with me to places or events.




But here's some oldies to introduce the animals. Shelby-dog and Chloe-cat.




They work together to steal food, wrappers, open backpacks to get food. They will rule the roost soon.

Cold Day

Plan for this very cold day! Take the doggie for a walk (she'll wear her boots and coat, she likes the coat hates the boots) Then wind some yarn to make deer mittens loosely based on the gator mitts from Stitch 'n Bitch book, then coach some water polo!

Busy day!

I'll post some pics of the Shelby-dog with her attire on.

Happy Weekend!
