We’re taking my niece to the American Girl store for her birthday and she is insisting that everyone bring a doll. So, I dug my 1991 Samantha out from her box in the basement.

My cats are a perfect example if two cats that coexist peacefully, but are definitely not a bonded pair. They are not hanging out together in this pic. Instead, they both just happen to want to sit in their favorite spots and the other cat just happens to also be there.

If you’re wondering, the cake is Sunday Night Cake from the cookbook Baked Explorations. It’s basically a yellow cake with a bit of cinnamon and a chocolate pudding frosting.

My indoor rosemary plant seems to have a flower!? This plant is largely neglected, I’ve had it for ~3 years. I just water it every so often and leave it next to an east facing window. Is this a good sign? A bad sign? Just a sign that it is fall?!?

This has been going on for days, and while I’m sad the pumpkins will not make it to Halloween, the hours of cat entertainment is worth it 😆

In honor of this weeks #showmeyourknits, here are the socks I knit using US000 (1.5mm) needles and a very solid non-superwash yarn when I got sick of all my SW 2.25mm needle socks getting holes in them all the time.
We’re at 22 wears (yes, I have been counting) and there’s no sign of thinning!

Every once in a while I remember that, when he was a baby, Figaro liked to steal my dish gloves from the sink and bring them into the bed to play with. I still do not understand why, but he did it regularly 😆

My calico, who only usually allows very limited physical contact, let me give her an extend belly rub today. This happens only once every month or two, so I feel very honored.

I don’t hate my preliminary self portrait, but also it is very clearly skewed to the side and I didn’t notice until I finished the drawing 😆
