Kitty Glory!

susandennisIt arrived! My Biggie and The Smalls and Stickie fabric! It's a luscious knit.
I have enough for two t-shirts - a long sleeved one and a short sleeved one - Year Round Kitties!!
It's in the washer now. It might not have been smart to put them on a white background - laundry wise. I usually do not separate whites from colors. Guess I'll have to start. It's such nice fabric, it will be worth the effort.
I got a lot of sewing done today. My plan/pattern deviation did now work out like I intended but I sure do like the way it did so all's cool. I made the pockets 1" too low. That's why you make a test garment first, kids. The Biggie/Smalls version will be spot on.
As much as I really hate Facebook, I really love Instagram and I hate that I do. But, really, my life is way richer because of Instagram. Dagnabbit. One reason is One Dish Kitchen.
Her recipes are simple and delicious and perfectly portioned. And most are made with stuff on hand like this one which will be my dinner tonight with some sausage.
There are other Instagram joys - knitting, crocheting, sewing, Seattle, swimming... It's just full of rich fodder. I wish someone else owned it.
I bought a new heater. The one I have is an el cheapo from Home Depot. It does Ok But it's kind of broken-ish. The only way to ensure it turns off is to remove the plug from the socket. It does not play nice with the smart plugs and I think its power button is broken. It provides heat and I don't need much but... today I found a Dyson Hot/Cold on Amazon for a price I could live with. It's from the Amazon Warehouse and has damaged packaging and is half off list price. And it works with Alexa and Google. And if I don't like it, I can send it right back. It arrives on Sunday.
The LED light I ordered for my serger did not work. Sigh. The regular one I also ordered did. And I figured a better way to attach the LED flashlight so I think I may be covered anyway. I'll send the LED one back.
The cats are having a down day. Oh, periodically one or the other of them will get into something and knock it off of what ever it's on but mostly they have been pretty chill all day. Makes me worried about tomorrow.

I do get far more knitting stuff from Ravelry.
Crocheters seem to be far more 'shary' on Instagram than on Ravelry. I've got a ton of crocheters I follow.
