Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

Golden slumber kiss your eyes,

Smiles await you when you rise.

Sleep,pretty Fuji,

Do not cry,

And I'll sing you a lullaby.

Care you know not,

Therefore sleep,

While I o'er you watch do keep.

Sleep,pretty darling,

Do not cry,

And I will sing a lullaby.

Books...

Jimmy reading his new Peanuts comic book!

Got some new books in the mail. There's some really cute crochet patterns in the Happy Hooker...really want to make the crocheted cowboy hat. Finally got the Knit Two book too, there's been so many books I've been wanting to read that this has just been sitting in my wish list area of amazon. I'm still reading the Charlaine Harris books though so when I'm finished with those I'll start this one.

Did get the new Creative Knitting and Knit n' Style magazines yesterday. Nothing seems to pop out to me...I don't think I've ever made anything from the magazines I receive. I get so many patterns on Ravelry that I have a list of "to do's." Do you knit patterns from these magazines or other that you subscribe to? Let me know. I do love looking at them though!:)

Year of the Ox!

Happy Chinese New Year 2009...The Year of the Ox!

The Ox is a symbol of wealth and success through hard work and resilience - this might be a blessing in our poor economic times. They are known for their ambition, drive and fortitude. Great patience, dedication and tenacity...they are born leaders.

Do you know some of these famous people were born in the Year of the Ox?...Barack Obama, Meryl Streep, Bruce Springsteen, Walt Disney, Princess Diana, Napoleon Bonaparte & Vincent Van Gogh!!!

A Worthy Cause....

I was reading my friend, Rhoda's blog post and found this heart wrenching story; Dylan's story. Please read his story and help support this cause if you can. They are going to draw names on February 7 to win some yarny goodness. If you donate and post to your blog you get an extra entry so lets show Dylan some love and spread the word about this!

FO Friday!

Fuji says "Namaste!"

Yoga socks are finished!
Haven't used them yet because haven't felt well from all the dental work.

Two Crocheted Chemo Hats with roses on them for the Hearts of Love group.

And finished the Valentine cloth!

Lots coming off the needles...I'm sure lots will be going on!

Still on the needles: Dream in Color Shrug and Peppermint Patty sock!

Might wind the Malabrigo I got the other day and start the cowl and scarf! Oh and I want to start crocheting that blanket that I bought the Vanna yarn for....we'll see!

For the non-knitters who read my blog...FO is not a bad word, it means Finished Object!:)

Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

Fuji pouting until Mommy gets home!

Fuji pouts until I get home even if my hubby or son is home. She'll sit on the back of the couch and just wait. They've tried to give her loving but she really just wants her mama. Although when I get home she gives them lots of love and attention. I didn't really believe she did this until James recorded her doing it. Sweet puppy!

Mommy's home...lots and lots of kisses!

Now when my hubby gets home from somewhere he's been...everyone knows because Fuji howls like a coyote for him and whines really, really loud. She tilts her head back and literally howls up into the air...so funny! I'll have to record that one day!

Tooth Tuesday!

Worsted weight Malabrigo in Tiger Lily and Cadmium!

Karoake soy silk/wool.
These were in the mailbox when I got home. What a great treat to get...perfect timing!
Made me smile but with my mouth numb only part of it came up!:) Bet you thought I was going to get a tooth photo huh? Did think of it but decided not to...maybe next time!:)

For the next three weeks the blog posts on Tuesdays will be Tooth Tuesdays. Had an endodontic appt. today...another in two weeks...and Jimmy has a dentist appt. next Tuesday...soooo the next three Tuesdays are teeth days!


Had the endodontic appt. today and yup had to have another root canal. I'm extra special because my roots curve at the ends and I have more roots than the normal person...lucky me. I even got to have "special" shots...one in the side of my face that's supposed to feel like a bruise but like I told the doctor I will bruise anyways...then the other shot got to go right through the middle of the tooth. They have to numb me like a horse because redheads don't take anesthesia well...do we hear another lucky me! Came home took some more advil, grabbed an ice pack, turned on my ocean sound machine and knocked out for a couple of hours. I go back in two weeks for the second part of the root canal. He does it in two sessions so he makes sure to get out any infection etc. that might creep up. Fuji gave me lots of good kisses to make it better. Gonna go have some tea and crochet a bit.
