can't see the forest for the trees

Is this what your coffee table looks like

please say yes

so I don't feel like a complete slob

that's what they are for though

right?

to put stuff on

all your stuff at once!!

I have been slogging away on the basket weave knitting

and still love how it looks

I will share the pattern soon

but if you don't want to wait just do a search on

basket weave

and you should find it

I realised that I would need more yarn to finish it

so ventured up to the craft store

husband also needed something

....

side note

men should not be allowed in spaces where women dwell

like

craft stores

he drives me up the wall

and across the ceiling

I told him they didn't have what he wanted but

nooooooo

he had to look and see for himself

Staples is for men

it's very

"to the point" and sterile in there

so go there next time to get what you need

and leave the

fru fru to us

:)

I found some plastic rings

to make some of those woven buttons

think they are called

Dorset buttons

or something like that

I saw a how-to ages ago but never found the rings

until today

may add one or two to the basket weave

now I have to find the how to.....and the rings are a little on the small side but I'll give it a shot anyway

:)

I wondered if the little flowers I made in the summer would fit

so I got them out

and put them on the coffee table

aren't they sweet?

the husband,

man that he is,

thinks this (below) has too many

"holes" in it

I explained it's called

LACE

the remote was there because I watched

Pioneer Woman on the Food Network in her show with

Bobby Flay

have you seen it?

(those of you here of course)

in case you haven't I won't spoil it and say who won

but this time the right one did!!!!!!

It is so nice to hear her voice

see her kids and

the best thing of all

NO,

 not

Marlboro Man

but CHARLIE

her basset hound

if you get a chance do watch or tape it

they are repeating the show over the weekend I think

Her blog is the first one I read

when I found blogs a few years ago

and I thoroughly enjoy it

she is a delight

and if you have no idea who the hell I am talking about

"Pioneer Woman"

 is the name of her blog

it's worth a look

and while making said

basket weave

I was wondering if I could

translate it into

Tunisian

I "felt" I had seen it somewhere

or something very similar in look

and

I

found

it

right on the front of the book I got for my birthday

right there

in front of my eyes

on the coffee table

for the last few days

it's been there

 the whole time

think it's time to clean up and sort the mess!!!

and now I will go see what else I can get into

have a good whatever

and I'll see you all later!!!

:)
