Kitten stikes again!

I can remember a cat we had when I was little..Gino. When he wanted fed, he meowed. When he wanted out in the morning, he jumped on my Dad's bed and said "Me-out" (at least it sounded like that). Kit does not seem to have developed the voice to ask me to get up and feed her. The only time I hear her is if she looks around and can't find me and walks around panic-stricken meowing till I call her. Then she jumps up, purrs and promptly starts chewing on my arm.

I would like to tell you now about how she woke me this morning. I felt her jumping on the bed, heard her jump off, felt her jump on again and try to scrambled under the covers on DH's side. Groaning, I grabbed her and put her off the bed. That was when I felt the yarn. Digging under the covers, I recovered my skein and realized it was one I used to start a watch cap for DH. I got up, picked up the skein, and started winding.... around the bed post, around the dresser, out into the hall, around the humidifier, down the steps...half asleep I was amazed when I got to the bottom and realized the yarn went back up! Winding... back up the steps to the landing, around the box of books, back down the stairs, around the corner, around the desk chair and...WooHoo... there were the needles in the kitchen doorway! Surprisingly, this time she hadn't chewed all the way thru! Ah, what we put up with to have a cute, cuddly pet in the house!

Finished my Koolhaas! Haven't worked on my SSS..sigh.

In the RoD, I have taken off the first layer of wallpaper half way up the 2nd wall. Got 7 bins of yarn and banner trims out to the garage. I need to rearrange my pantry shelves in the basement so that I can still get to the cans. Then I will be placing more of the craft item bins from RoD down there so that I can remove the shelves from the wall and do the top half. Mostly I feel that I am just moving things around in there, altho I did find several skeins of yarn to donate to another Wednesday night knitter. She has been making small toys and things for kids in our local Children's Hospital. I have seen several ideas on Ravelry about how to organize my yarn and have great visions of how I want it to look when I am done. I think, when I honestly take a look at the amount of yarn I own, that taking down the walls and installing doors, and using the yarn as removable insulation is my best bet right now....lol. But, since this would be another 'out of sight..out of mind' ploy, I guess I should forget it.

Well all I can say is at least she didn't pee in the middle of the bed! :-) Gotta love them kitties.
