Where does the time go?

I can't believe it's been 3 wks. since I posted last! I wish the clock would slow down a little so I could enjoy things longer. We celebrated our family's February birthdays yesterday. I sure enjoy having everyone here. There were 11 of us this time. Matt couldn't make it here from Chicago.

Jenny modeling her Steelers Rah Rah Sox!

The socks turned out great and the Steelers won the Super Bowl....what more could Jenny want? I ended up liking the class "Knitting Socks 2 At A Time". Next up - a pair I've started for Mark using the same method.

Close-up of the quilting on the Michigan Baby Quilt

I get attached to baby quilts when I make them and even though I'm not a Michigan fan (after all we do live in Buckeye Country) I loved this quilt too. The machine quilting I did is simply straight stitching, but it looks great on this quilt pattern. I also ended up liking the fact that there were only borders on the top and bottom, none on the sides. It's different. I used wool batting so this should keep the little Wolverine plenty warm while he watches games with his dad and mom next season. Go Blue...errrr, I mean Go Bucks!!

Logan Alan Self's Michigan Baby Quilt

Did I mention that Stef and Joel are having a boy?? I suppose I shouldn't put this embarrassing photo of my grandson out there, but it's pretty cute! Nice of the technician to label it for us. The nursery furniture is purchased and the room is painted already. The shower is being planned as we speak....that always makes it seem more real to see all of the tiny baby clothes.

We've had a visitor for 6 wks. now!

This male, intact cat has been begging at our door. He's friendly which makes me sure he's not a feral cat. No collar so I don't have info on him. He loves being petted but loves being fed more. I've been giving him dry food and water and sometimes warm milk to get him through this cold spell. Is anyone interested in giving him a home? I'm close to taking him to the vet for a cut he got about a week ago on his back leg. He's been limping a little. He's been sleeping in the heated cat box we have near our front door every night. I guess he picked the right house when he was searching for a place to hang out. Since we have the 2 dogs and 2 cats of our own, I'm not going to let him come in. Not that he's afraid of the dogs...he rubs up on them too. We've temporarily named him Snowball.
