Serendipity hat
The weather is warming up and being just all kinds of gorgeous, which I can appreciate even as I suffer from seasonal allergies (for whatever reason, this time around my eyes are killing me! Itchy, watery, can't wear my contacts!). I was gifted the Serendipity pattern (by Brandy Fortune, of pixiepurls.com)recently and in less than… Continue reading Serendipity hat
“help”
It's not child labor, it's an age-appropriate-developmental-sorting-activity. And at the very least occupies her attention for 4 minutes.I hope she's still happy to have this chore years from now. I have been emptying the dishwasher for as long as I can remember. Seriously. Here's proof, circa 1981 or so.Certainly I was also in a "paparazzi… Continue reading “help”
My Needles are Free!

The knitting is still hush hush.
Instead I will share a few tales from my kitchen. My dad's birthday was yesterday and I invited my parents over for dinner. The birthday guy's request?

I am enjoying both of them and each are at or just past the halfway point, so yay on that. We've been working on using the potty with… Continue reading I really wanted to blog

Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms - here and gone, moms to be, moms in waiting, moms of angels and moms of furbabies - I do wish you all a peaceful day! I have never been one to shy away from a challenge or something that is hard, and being a mom has certainly… Continue reading Mother’s Day
Squee! I got a package!
I have been waiting on the mail delivery each day - I am expecting yarn for a sample knit and I am really looking forward to it. Frequently the mail truck can be heard idling at my mailbox and I assume that they must be getting out a package for me, even though most of… Continue reading Squee! I got a package!
And it is quiet again.
We had family over yesterday to celebrate Easter - "a big party" according to Lorelai. All in all it went really well - there was a lot of really good food, good times with family, and Lorelai - well, she's just so excited about all of it. My brother and his girlfriend set up an… Continue reading And it is quiet again.
