The Monarch and the Queen
Sounds like a British romance novel, doesn't it? I just checked on them outside and sure enough, they are still flitting about the plants...good to see them again...and the chrysalis is still cooking...its a dark overcast day, although 70 and not cold...I hope they spend the day and then head on down south...
I have a friend coming over to give us recommendations for our yard...she can tell us what to do, where to plant, what to plant and how to work this new soil we are so unfamiliar with...That'll be fun...
I shipped most everything yesterday, there are a few things still lingering that I'll be shipping today...and then I'll have some new beads for ya'll...I've been thinking of new color combos, and of course they are turning darker and more grey as the days go that way...wintery colors...
I've been knitting little catnip toys from the WendyKnits book...very simple...I looked for a pattern on her site, and found the more complicated one, but I'm doing the simple one cause I don't want to think too hard while knitting...CO 30...knit 6 rows...K2Tog, K to end of row...Keep going until 4 st remain...BO and leave long tail...seam up long row, turn inside out, fill w/ catnip and sew up...give to kitty and watch bedlam ensue...Clementine is beating it up downstairs right now, and everyone has had a chance to beat it up a little...I've decided to make these thru the year and donate them to the Humane Society...I bought loads of kitty and dog toys and we donated them at Our Favorite Nursery on Sunday...little squeek toys, bells, catnip, chew bones...We can't adopt all the kitties and puppies, but I hope we can give them something fun to play with and go home with once they are adopted...

Thanks for the mice pattern! (hey you could wool and felt 'em!) I wanna see a pic of your felted tote! I know I saw a link for those wooden handles somewhere. It may have been on ebay when I was looking for those metal purse frames for someone I know with a beaded purse!
