A day late for Saturday sky again.

It was hot. 36C (96F) in October. So we finally caved and bought a portable airconditioner. But it had to settle for 24 hours after we bought it, and we didn't get to use it anyway. It's cooler today, of course. But if it's 36C in October, I'm thinking I'll need an airconditioner so that I can knit in December and January!

Look what has come back out to play again.

Icarus!
I made it to 4 and a half repeats of chart one, and made an executive decision to skip the last repeat. Partly becasue I'm fairly certain I would have run out of yarn, and mostly because I'd had enough of chart one.
So I've started chart two, but you can't see much difference yet. I tried to get a close up of the new part, but black lace doesn't photograph very well, especially with my crappy photographic skills.
Spring Blossoms has had a little bit of attention, but it's back to school tomorrow, (can I get a Halleluljah?!?) and I'm sure I'll get more done on that now.
As soon as I do something about the endless sewing of course. But lets not dwell on that.
Avoidance is a way of life for some of us.

Rub my nose, you paltry human!

Thats the most amount of clouds I've seen in your saturday sky pic. =)Sometimes I wonder if Twinkie feels hot under her thick coat. lol

How could anyone resist that gorgeous nose?
Give Twinkie an extra rub from me.
Icarus is looking good.
You won't regret the airconditioning

Twinkie is joining the "Now you Humans follow what I say weekend" Boss has overtaken the lounge from us all. The only way to keep him happy is to let him sit for pats on your lap. Icarus is coming along good but dont neglect the sewing for too long it unfortuanlty wont grow legs and make its self.

Oh, you poor thing with the heat! Too hot for Spring! I'm sitting here with freezing hands and I'll dedicate them to you!

What a lovely sky! I will be late in posting too. My WIPs wanted my attention this weekend and I had to bow to their cries. I hope you rubbed Twinkie's nose. She might do some serious feet-flickering if you ignore her!

Avoidance, procrastination and denial are some pretty good words :)
Pats for twinkie:)

Hi Donna, thanks for your comments ... so i hear about the heat wave over east... i am shuddering at the thought of summer. Your bunny is really cute... fluffy... i had a bunny once, we found it roaming around our place and had no tag so we "adopted" it...after it bit everyone in our family, we had no choice but to give it away...
