I Like Thursday #126



 It's time for I Like Thursday where a bunch of us bloggers post happy posts. To see more, visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to see more of these posts. It was my birthday this past week so I thought I'd show you my cake! We bought it from a local bakery that we like. It was chocolate cake and was quite delicious!


This was one of my gifts. I'm making over my sewing room so my son and girl friend made me a little art work for the walls. I love this! This is such a thoughtful gift. 


I finally turned the heel on my sock. This sock is taking forever but I feel like it's speeding up. The pattern is made only on the top of the foot. The bottom is just the stockinette stitch. This is much faster to knit up! I can't believe I have to make another one when I'm finished with this one!



Look at this kitty! She's helping me quilt but she's getting sleepy! She fell asleep while I was quilting on the longarm. I just had to take her picture. 

I hope you all have a great weekend. We're expecting a huge snowstorm Saturday. I'm so glad I don't have to work my Saturdays any more. I'll be happy to stay home and see the snow fall!

  1. Happy Belated Birthday. What neat artwork. LOL the sock, which is why I should not knit. I would have only one sock of each pair. LOL the cat, everyone calls quilters cat hammocks.

    Your sleepy kitty reminds me of myself--every time I try to read these days, my head nods and i doze off--must be the meds--[couldn't be the age, right?] Stay safe and warm hugs, Julierose ^()^

    1. Thanks, Dawn! Be careful tomorrow. I'm just staying home all day. I'm hoping I can work on the mystery quilt. It sounds like it's going to be bad!
