What else is in my Etsy shop, you may ask? Oh, many, many things. I specialize in hand knit goodies and vintage treasure. A portion from every sale goes directly to charity in honor of the Late, Great Fat Joey, pictured here.

 

Joey, who hated Easter. I wonder why?

 

In fact, if you've never heard it, here is the story of Fat Joey Knitwear. Enjoy and see you soon!

 

Fat Joey Knit Wear (warm as a kitten) was created to honor the memory of the late, great Fat Joey. Joey (who was really only ever big-boned) was a foundling rescued from the mean streets of Philadelphia and my constant companion for twelve years. It broke my heart when he passed away in 2009.

Since I also volunteer at local animal shelters, I thought the best way to remember Joe would be to help other critters have food, medical attention and eventually, loving homes. Therefore a portion from every sale of FJKW goes to either the Paws shelter in Philadelphia, or City Kitties, in West Philly. Sometimes it's 10%, sometimes it's a 100%!

I was thrilled when I first realized my knits would sell and deeply grateful to be able to help the kitties, even in a small way. Thank you so much for stopping by. Wishing you every happiness,

Me and Fat Joey (in spirit)

Sunday Morning chuckles

A couple of chuckles for your Sunday morning. Just to show you how out of it I am, I originally wrote Saturday morning on the top of this post. What day is it? Who am I? I used to know these things, before I had the kid. Now I'm really, really lucky if I leave the house for work with my teeth brushed AND wearing pants.
But I digress. The first cartoon with the dog made me actually laugh out loud, not the LOL you type on your friend's Facebook page, I mean really snort in surprise and delight. Heh, heh, heh. I believe I found that on George Takie's FB page. We love you George.

 Big Mario's provided the squirrel and frog picture. Well played, Big Mario's. Well played.

You don't have to be an actor to appreciate this last one. Hey, bears fall in love too....

I'd love to sat and chat more with you this morning, but someone is grousing over the baby monitor. We musn't keep Her Majesty waiting! Love and luck to all of you today. Kiss your kids, call your mother, hug your cats.
