12.11.2007 :: Ice, birds, mitten and bread, not necessarily in that order
Ready for a bunch of random? Tied together only by the single thread of being included here, directly from my head!
There was lots of ice the other night but thankfully it's gone now. There really are no beautiful songs about ice storms. As well it should be.
I arrived home tonight to find 4 calling birds on my house. It appears I am living the 12 days of Christmas! I can't wait to see the Lords a Leaping!
Snacks are being left on our porch again. This time balancing on the railing with the snow brush as the tripod base. At least the squirrel is eating whole grains. A squirrel needs to keep up his strength!
And a mitten to go to Miss Rachael and her wonderful Soaring Eagles Project. Almost done the first one and steaming towards the second. Remember that you can win a pair of hand knit (by ME) mittens if you hurry up and knit a pair for the wonderful, freezing children in Oklahoma. They had a horrible ice storm too this week and those kids hands are not getting any warmer by themselves.
What are you doing here still? Go knit a mitten!
(see previous entry for the mitten winning details)

I just finished my third pair of mittens. I also found a sock that i had made last summer and didn't like so I made it's mate. It's warm and fuzzy. I took a picture and I will put it on my blog tomorrow after I return from the post office. I even bit the bullet and offered to knit a pair of gloves for one of Rachel's prizes. Fluffy

I'm glad I'm not the only one the squirrels think goes hungry. The snacks on our porch recently were large (!) pieces of what appeared to be garlic bread.

At least the squirrel is not eating your Christmas lights. We had that problem, then birds used the loose wires and bulbs in their nests! Also, great idea for the knitting mittens project :)

Started pair #3- my hands hurt and resemble claws. Will mail the 2 pairs tomorrow and work feverishly on the rest this week. I managed to knit 4 mittens out of 200 yds of yarn with 4 feet to spare.

Are you really knitting that mitten? Or are you doing puzzles?

Where is that squirrel getting all this food from? Who is feeding him? Does he do this year round? Or just in the winter?

P.S. Tell those 8 maids a milking to clean up after their cows.
