Not much going on in my neck of the wood. The last 2 days have been warmer that we've had it a long time - so the snow is melting- making a mess with puddles all over everyplace. I'm still stuck in the house because I just hate when my feet get cold and wet. <br />
<br />
So Is your favorite Team going to the Super Bowl? I'm not really into football - but I pretend I am for Sir Knight - every now and then he likes watching a game or two on the TV. I sit on his lap and watch too.<br />
Last night was one of those times - I just couldn't tell if he was happy or sad when each of the two games ended. Me, I was sad - those poor men had to run around in the rain like they did - and wondered why they just couldn't wait till the weather was better. In fact - isn't there some kind of sayings Humans have about " not having enough sense to come in out of the rain." Maybe they never will and that is very frightening for all of us cats with superior intellect.<br />
<br />
I best go check out what everybody is doing - Yep Sir Knight is Home from work - since it's a Holiday -<br />
Celebrating the memory of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. of course I'm to young to know him - but not too young to know of Him. (I read a lot.) So I leave you with one of my favorite quotes by him<br />

I have returned.<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It feels so good to be back sitting down to blog again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hopefully Genghis and I will be able to continue on for some time - but right now we are not making any promises. We will make a real effort to blog twice a week - one day for Genghis and one day for me; and see how that goes before we try to expand. So please bear with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Sir Knight was sick, I spent many days in Hospital waiting rooms at first just sitting around wringing my hands and twiddling my thumbs. When it became evident that this was to be my new normal activity I decided I needed to be more constructive with my sitting around waiting time. So I began crocheting "potato chip" scarves. I never would have imagined when I started a year ago Christmas that I would make as many scarves as I did. When Sir Knight took the tub I had been filling into work for Saint Nicholas Day to distribute to the girls he works with I was surprised that I had 25 done and ready to go.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since money was real tight with all the hospital & doctor bills - I was thrilled when a friend of my college roommate offered me bags of unused yarn from her mothers estate. Thank you so much Karen; you'll never know how much it helped. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Sir Knights Surgery was over and he was well enough to come home - I was once again able to putter in my craft room while he slept instead of always crocheting; so I painted up a few Styrofoam pieces I had on hand - - - gathered up a few other supplies. . .</span><br />

<br />
We have had a terrible year and a half here at my house - Sir Knight was Bad sick and Pellie and I were to busy taking care of him to think of anything else. <br />
<br />
He is doing much better now - so we are hoping, praying and purring that this Christmas is better than last and that God gives us a much better year in 2015.<br />

<br />
If your year has been good we are thankful; for we would hate to have, had any of our friends in a bad way and not be there to pray and purr for you - but - if like us your year was filled with problems we send prayers and purrs that things also will look up for you in 2015.<br />

Hello again,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what did we do on our sabbatical you ask? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well - believe me - you sure have more hours in the day when you don't spend most of them admiring things on Pinterest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I read tons of books: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whole<b><u> Cat Who</u></b> series as well as a good number of the <u><b>Mrs. Murphy Mysteries.</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also read a series the <b><u>Ocean Breeze Novels</u></b> by Sherryl Woods</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cleaned my house up real good and worked on some of the front yards landscaping issues</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I even did a little crafting;.</div>

Hello everyone,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know! It's been awhile since last I posted - but that doesn't mean, I didn't think of all of you. I was taking a sabbatical from the computer. I really needed to set better boundaries and priorities for myself. Spent too much time on the computer and not enough time on anything else. For now Genghis and I are back on a trial basis - to see if I can avoid all the distractions the Internet offers. You know what I mean - Like Pinterest to name only one. </div>

<div>
Hello everyone,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I didn't want too many days of the month to go by without posting about this very thought worthy event. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
May is<b><u> " National Stoke Awareness Month "</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
In this day and age - Strokes can happen to anyone. We need to be aware of the signs and educate others of the sign - because with quick medical attention we can lower the risk of disability and death.<br />
<br />
<br />
About 795,000 people in the U.S. will have a stroke this year, that translates into one stoke every 40 seconds. Yet most people cannot identify stroke warning signs or risk factors and most of those strokes are preventable--some studies indicate that up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented.<br />
<br />
. Did You Know?<br />
<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stroke is a leading cause of adult long-term disability.<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>By 2030, it is estimated that 4 million people will have had a stroke. This is nearly 25 percent higher than 2010 estimates.<br />
·<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stroke is an emergency! It’s important to learn stroke warning signs and how to respond to them. If given within three hours of the first symptom, there is an FDA-approved clot-buster medication that may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.<br />
<br />
<br />
The National Stroke Association offers a <a href="http://www.stroke.org/site/PageServer?pagename=aware_ekit">Stroke Awareness Resource Center </a>with free downloadable stroke education information, graphics and ways to get involved in raising awareness.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
<div>
Use<b><u> FAST</u></b> to remember the warning signs of stroke:</div>
<div>
<u>F</u>ace: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?</div>
<div>
<u>A</u>rms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?</div>
<div>
<u>S</u>peech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?</div>
<div>
<u>Ti</u>me: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.</div>
</div>
<div>

Hello everyone,</div>

It has been sometime since I've joined <a href="http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/2013/02/tea-cup-tuesday-pretty-in-pink.html">Terri of Artful Affirmations</a> and done a Teacup Tuesday post - but not very long since I bought my last teacup. Just this last auction I went to I picked up this lovely one.</div>

For decades, Lefton has produced china that makes great gifts and
collectibles. Lefton china was founded in Chicago in 1941 by George
Zoltan Lefton, who had arrived from Hungary two years before. George Lefton admired delicate Oriental pottery and at the close of World War II he headed to newly occupied Japan to strike a deal to import Japanese made pottery under the Lefton name.
The following year the first of these products arrived in the United
States, bearing the mark “Made in Occupied Japan.” The quality was good
and the price made the china accessible to most Americans.</div>

It's another Rainy, cold day here in my little corner of the world, so all I can do is look out the front door at the world as it passes by. Not really much to see - an occasional car , a school bus or two and the mailman as he makes his appointed rounds. Drat!!! No mail for us today.</div>

A couple weeks ago when Sir Knight was home sick - I had some time on my hands - where we had to be quite - sooo - I decided that was a great time to start on a valentines day banner to hang in my dinning room window. I can't seem to get a good picture of it hanging up so I made this little collage to show you all the hearts that were made for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Sir Knight woke up he was intrigued and wanted to help - so we moved all the creative items to the bedroom on a card table and with a bed tray Sir Knight helped make some of the hearts.. Can you guess the ones he made? Probably not, he really surprised me and let a little of his feminine and kid sides out when he created..</div>

<br />
This banner I made a couple years ago and I still love it - so the mantel was an excellent place for it to hang.<br />
<br />
I spent so much time on line trying to find a free, easy to use, collage maker that I really need to get back to my chores.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you have a great day.<br />

Saturday before Pellie and Sir Knight abandoned me to go to an auction; Pellie played on the computer and came up with these super cool pictures of me. She really likes playing on those photo manipulation sites and I really enjoy all the cool pictures she makes of me.</div>

Hello everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really wasn't sure I'd make it to the computer today - I've been in bed with a migrain. but I am feeling a bit better right now. Sooooooooo here I am.</div>

Yesterday's mystery items where Knitting Nancy's, Knitting Knobbys, Bizzy Lizzys or a mired of other names.<br />
I first learned of then as Spool Kniters and my father made me my very first one - way back when I was in first or second grade., by pounding 4 small nails into a spent wooden spool.<br />
<br />
As you can see from the picture the distance apart of the pegs makes a big difference in the tightness of the knitted rope it makes. For my Muffs wrist strap I used my clear knitter . I also used it to make a rope for around my great nieces neck when I make her a little muff for Valentines day.<br />
<br />
The others became toys for My favorite mancat - Genghis Khat.<br />

Yesterday while visiting a few of my blog friends - I had one friend who was showing off her winter head gear and while she was as cute as a button in her simple crochet/knit? hat - - I do not.<br />
I bemoaned to her my displeasure about what is available on the market for us older ladies who - prefer a more dignified yet feminine look than what is marketed mainly for the tweens & teens. I don't want a moose.rabbit or any other kind of critter on the top of my head nor do I want to look like Elmer Fudd.<br />
By the time I got off the computer yesterday - I had my rankles up and decided to quit complaining and start doing something about it.<br />
<br />
I became a lady on a mission.<br />
<br />
So I went downstairs and retrieved this old faux fur coat I had purchased at the Goodwill a while back.<br />

I ripped it apart at the seams and with the help of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpxnb1bNX4Q">U-Tube </a>and A Pattern by <a href="http://www.sewing.org/html/fur_muff.html">Jo-Anne Fabrics</a> - I made myself this beautiful hand muff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My hand are always cold and gloves don't work very well, so I hope this does the trick. It has two layers of batting and I used fleece as the liner material rather then the suggested satiny lining material. It came out more like an envelope muff rather than the old fashion barrel muff I had hoped for but I figure it is a start.</div>

Now that I have the muff and scarf - I need to get out to the store to get a pattern for a hat I can adjust to my taste and need for warmth.<br />
<br />
If any of you know of a elegant winter hat pattern , please let me know. I really would appreciate it.<br />
<br />
For now stay warm and have a great day<br />

Hello evfurryone,<br />
<br />
Wow! The lats four days had been hard on me. <br />
<br />
Sir Knight was home sick last Thursday & Friday so I had to really keep myself moving back and forth between Him and Pellie. Yea I know Pelllie was fine but I just couldn't ignore her and stay with Sir Knight -Could I? Heck no. her feeling probably would have gotten all bent out of shape. I mean - it is my regular job to protect her when Sir Knight goes off to work and believe me he was in no shape to protect her so I had to do two jobs; protect Pellie and help Sir Knight feel better by the laying of my paws on him.<br />
<br />
So today I've been taking it easy to recoup my strength.<br />
<br />
Have a great week .<br />
<br />
Purrs,<br />

Hello everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Just a short note in Celebration Of National Handwriting Day; which is Popularly observed on the birthday of John Hancock to encourage people to write more often and more legibly.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Look at these lovely old written pieces I gathered up at the "<a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/">Graphics Fairy's Blog</a>" . Aren't they just beautiful. </div>

Way back when I was in school, we reached 3rd grade and learned to write by the Palmer Method.<br />
We were never allowed to go back to printing again and I must admit I never looked back. My handwriting has changed many time over the years but it still carries a bit of that old Palmer Teaching and remains legible.<br />
No one ever complained about my penmanship and I was glad.<br />
<br />
Especially when years of Nursing sent me screaming trying to read the handwriting of most of the doctors.<br />
<br />
Well Sir Knight is calling, and I must rush off.<br />
<br />
Please have an exceptional evening.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

Hello everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In trying to get back into a routine - I decided I needed to get back into the habit of doing an ATC swap or two. So I headed over to my favorite place to swap.<a href="http://blissfullatcswap.blogspot.com/"> Blissful ATC Swap</a> and signed up for the January Swap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The theme was vintage wallpaper -- say what! --- hummmmm what am I going to do with that???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What's that you say- we are exchanging three cards apiece - oh dear - what did I get my muse into?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My partner for the swap was Wendy from<a href="http://artbywendy38.blogspot.com/"> Art By Wendy</a>. This girl has an amazing blog and makes some pretty incredible art. If you haven't ever visited her blog you might want to check her out.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">These are the three cards she sent to me. Aren't they awesome. A lot of work and talent went into these.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I really love them. Thanks again Wendy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then there was the question of what I was going to make - so I went to Wendy's blog and settled in reading some of her older post and things. I kind of concluded that she liked Steampunk and that was a theme I could get into - but how to incorporate that with vintage wallpaper? Think. <span style="font-size: large;">Think.</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">Think. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

These are the Cards I made for Wendy. The background for all three card has some Vintage wallpaper That was left at an old Victorian house I owned in the 80's (1980's that is I'm not old enough for the 1880's)</div>
<br />
The first one with the pretty young lady and her cat. is titled: <u>Going Steampunk to Winter Carnival.</u><br />
<br />
The second one with my own version of a steam powered carriage parked in front of the house ( yes the wallpaper is visible through the window the carriage sits in front of) is titled <u>Steampunk Horseless Carriage.</u><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I felt my muse pulled through for me after all and was quite happy with these cards. Sure hope Wendy liked them.<br />
<br />
Well I best get busy with some of my other project.<br />

Hello evfurryone,<br />
Today it's really really cold out - but this past weekend - Oh man it was heavenly. We had a nice warm 50<br />
degrees and I made sure I headed out for a short snooze on my favorite chair and a little game of chase with my friend squirrel. I don't know about you guys but i'm ready for summer.<br />
<br />
Today is <a href="http://www.petstyle.com/news/general/celebrate-national-dress-your-pet-day">National Dress your Pet Day</a> - I intend to go into hiding as soon as I finish my post - so Pellie doesn't get any ideas. This mancat don't do dress up.<br />
<br />
Oh oh, better go.<br />
<br />
