• Sunday, March 30, 2008 - Cat Bathtub

Weird blog title, no? If no one understands what I mean by that, I'll explain. I make the perfect cat bathtub. Seriously. I can't go an hour without being used as one. At least one of my cats will get up in my lap, specifically to bathe themselves. Sometimes, if it is Monkie, I will get washed as well. Kitty B takes his bath at night, in bed, on my belly. Every night. I currently have a Monkie C. Munkadu on my lap alternately sleeping and bathing. So, there you have it. Now, on to something completely different. I have been knitting like crazy. What's new right? I know. I have been working on a layette for a cousin's baby. My dh's cousin and his wife are expecting a baby girl in July. In fact , they just found out it's a girl. So far I've made a blanket, using the pattern Baby Blocks by Ann Norling. The link is to my Ravelry page. I've also completed a pair of booties to go with them. I've never made booties before, I'm really happy with them. I'll post a link later, when I get a picture of them. Now I'm trying to make a hat to match. I'm not sure how it will work out. I am trying to make a plain hat knit in the round with an I-cord at the top. It is turning out quite large. But, since she is due in July, maybe by winter the baby's head will be big enough for the hat. Last but not least. Sunday traditions. I haven't practiced any in a long, long time. But today I decided to pull one out of my arsenal, so to speak. I made Deviled Eggs. Mmmmmm. I love, love, LOVE them. My grandma used to make them almost every Sunday, just because I like them so much. Ready, collective aww. "Aww!" Yep, she loves me. I love her too. I can personally eat a dozen eggs made into Deviled Eggs, no joke. She always used Miracle Whip, I can deal with that although I prefer mayo, and mustard. I use mayo and dijon mustard. No one in the family had ever heard of it that way. In fact here, in dh's family they always add pickles. If some people like it that way, great. I personally think it is gross. So, in the past year I have won over everyone in the family, including his grandmother. The biggest proponent of the pickles. Right now, as I type, they are in the fridge cooling down. I'm not sure how much longer I can wait before I scarf them down. My mouth is watering like crazy! Have a wonderful week!
