Knitting & Napping in the Sunshine

Yesterday was a Glorious Day...
A day of Golden Sunshine...
Warm Breezes...
Autumn Leaves...
&
Fabulous Fall Smells.
Mercedes
{a.k.a. Miss Puddin' Tat}
and I made the most of it...
We sat in our favorite Sunny window
in the kitchen.
While I sipped tea and knitted the afternoon away,
She catnapped and relished in the
Rare Treat
of lying in an open window on a 
November day
in Illinois.
My friend Eugenia
calls her my
Fall Kitty
because of her beautiful
Autumn coloring.
She really is lovely, isn't she?!
When I got up to make another cup of tea
I turned back around to find she had settled into a new 
napping spot.
Ummm....
Excuse ME...
But I think that's MY spot.
She loves to curl up in my favorite 
places throughout the house
the moment I get up.
So...
I nestled her onto my lap
{which is what she's always hoping for in the first place}
and finished my knitting.
A Triple Cable Rolling Brim Hat 
with a cute 
Top Knot.
I just love
Cables...
Can't get enough of them.

And the great thing about this hat is...
the
Cable Panel
runs up the back side as well.
My Sister dropped by with her sweet
Grandson Eli
who is 14 months old.
So I got to try the hat on him.
Look at those cheeks!

This darling hat is size 12-18 months.
It's going on my Etsy Shop today.

Happy Day to You All,
Be Blessed

    1. He IS cute, isn't he?! He's my sister's first grandbaby.
      We love him to pieces.
      My 2 girls and her son had baby boys born all together in 2014 : May, August & September. It was so much fun!
      That kitchen window is where I spend a lot of my time :-)

  4. Hello Darling,

    Mr. Lee had to run into his office. I went along to thaw in the sunshine. I've been cold to the core... I am listening to the birds. One sounds like an old rotary phone. Its funny but probably not pleasant if it was outside my bedroom window. Thank you for linking me here. Love.

      I hope you brought a little of the warm sunshine home with you...
      I told Scott I am concerned because I haven't talked to you for a couple of days.
      I will text you tomorrow.
      Rest well MY Dear One,
      Danette
