*Seriously? A bonus post?!* So, it's a Brand New Year, and how do we commemorate the passage of time? By looking forward and setting goals, or resolutions. Personally, I prefer to set goals over "resolving" to do anything. I know me, and I love to defy myself, like a two year old who just learned … Continue reading Brand New Year

Christmas 2015
We spent about a week in Upstate New York over the holiday, visiting John's mom and extended family. The kids had a wonderful time, and I took lots of great pictures--so much, in fact, that this is only a fraction of what I uploaded to my computer. I plan on writing a "Happy New Year" … Continue reading Christmas 2015
I Break for Christmas
Whoa, last week was a blur! The week before Christmas break always is! I DID finish the diagonal striped scarf, which I'm now calling "Tire Tread," but I haven't gotten a picture of the final result. Next week! I'll have the pictures (and very simple pattern) up next week! I've also been working on my … Continue reading I Break for Christmas
Book Club: (December 2015) Luckiest Girl Alive
I'm not sure I've talked about it, before, but I am a part of (and run) a book club with a bunch of local friends. We've been meeting for over three years (it'll be four in April), and we have read A LOT of books. Since there are other book clubs out there looking for … Continue reading Book Club: (December 2015) Luckiest Girl Alive
More Drawings and a Hard to Photograph Scarf

This is the third time I changed my mind about how to make Maggie's new scarf. I love the star stitch knitted one I was making, but, 1.) I quickly realized I didn't … Continue reading More Drawings and a Hard to Photograph Scarf
Hibernation is Almost Over!
I'm here. Somewhere! I have many (MANY) projects in the works, and will start sharing them, soon! My hibernation is almost over! (I hope!)
December
Santa brought me a new toy (a camera), and I'm having a lot of fun playing with it!
Rudeness and Roundness
Things that bug me: when people ask when I'm due. The expectation is that I'm going to say, "tomorrow." I know this by the look on their faces when I say, "December." Yesterday, a woman at the bus stop (who usually ignores me--which I'm totally fine with) decides to break the ice and asks when I'm … Continue reading Rudeness and Roundness
Too Bad I’m Already Overextended…
I'm AWESOME!, and I think I need to knit these panties to let everyone know. Unfortunately, I already have a few projects going, so I'll have to skip it...for now. Darn. If you're AWESOME!, and want knit yourself a pair of these classy drawers, you can click the picture above. I linked it to the … Continue reading Too Bad I’m Already Overextended…
Four by Four WIP
After dipping my toes back into the water with those small barrette projects, I've decided to dive right back in. This week I started two fairly time-consuming projects. The first, something I've never attempted--I full sized (okay, baby sized) quilt. This is the largest quilting job I've taken on, and my first that involves actual … Continue reading Four by Four WIP
