Our Dog

Image
Can't forget her.  Her name is Savannah and she's 7 y.o.  She is our 5th Beagle and first female.  She's a Beagle/Basset Hound mix. She is a shelter rescue.  Whoever had her, trained her very well.  She is a couch potato.  She's, also, the first dog we've had that doesn't like car rides.  She whines, paces back & forth and tries to jump into the front seat and I'm swerving all over the road, to get her to settle down. All in all, she is a nice dog.

My Feline Family

Here are pictures of our 11 cats. I used to be a foster home for cats.  Some of the ones I'm going to show you were once foster.   I enjoyed it.  You get satisfaction caring for them and they love you unconditionally.  I've always had cats in my life.  I'm an independent person, so I had to have independent CATS!!! I've mostly adopted Senior cats, because, they get lost in the shuffle.  Cody-11 y.o. Someone gave this beautiful cat up, because they got a dog.  They, also, had him declawed front and back and let him go outside.  He just became a lap cat with me only. He loves laying on the newly folded clothes. Carmen Miranda-10 y.o. Shelter Rescue Himalayan She's the sweetest cat.  She's very small for a Himalayan.  Maybe she was the runt.  She was one of my foster kitties.  Always wants to be on your lap.  You say no to her, she doesn't care, she jumps up on your lap, anyway. Lucky-13 y.o. This my Lucky Boy (I call

New Yarn Winder

Image
I was in the  market for a new yarn winder.  Some ladies, on one of my facebook knitting groups had suggested the Laci's.  I read a lot of reviews.  They weren't good. Another lady recommended the Stanwood.  I was looking for a larger one.  I read the reviews on this and it got excellent reviews.  So, I bought it. I've wound yarn and I love it.  No noise.  I love the way the caked yarn comes out.  I was using a Royal, but, it was making a lot of noise. I highly recommend it, if you're in the market for a new one.  The Stanwood Company has replacement parts, too.

Coffee Mug

I was on Cafe Press and found this knitting themed coffee mug.  I bought the jumbo size.  The smaller size was too small.
