I love the idea of this read-along:YA of the 80s and 90s Reading Challengehosted by The Book Vixen * Runs January 1, 2011 through December… Continue reading Book Lemming

September Circle
A while back I went up to Boston to visit Theatreknitter in her new place. Lucky gal, she can walk to a LYS, the lovely Seed Stitch. While we were in there, magic words were spoken "Pick out something for your birthday present!" This threw me for a momentary loop since I was completely surprised… Continue reading September Circle

Toddler Flittens
Yesterday when we were playing outside, I mentioned to the Lorax that I will have to make her a neckwarmer for her pink coat (I'm thinking Scallo-pie, Not-a-scarf or just finishing the Zebra scarf). She pipes up that "My hands are freezing!" I told her that I had some handy dandy hand warmers that she… Continue reading Toddler Flittens

Lately the Lorax seems to have boundless energy so we are trying to get in a good dose of running around outside each day. On Saturday we were doing just that and then realized that there were quite a… Continue reading Fall Weekend
