It's Tuesday! After a long, lazy weekend - welcome June! Dan was gifted an early start to his weekend and got to return home from work around 2:30 on Friday. That was a nice treat - it was almost like an extra day! Saturday we stayed around the house and did errands and played on… Continue reading Ambitious.

I’m sensing a pattern here.
This is mostly random and probably catches my attention only, but I'm noticing a whole bunch of similarities in things I'm knitting lately. To start, I've got 2 projects that I can't really show until after TNNA happens. Each of these projects involve new colors and a similar linen stitch pattern. One for Lorna's Laces… Continue reading I’m sensing a pattern here.
Girly
The weather is heating up around here and yesterday, the Lorax told me she wanted to wear flip-flops. This was a huge surprise to me - usually we have a melt down in any shoe store and she hates to try things on. I'm the mom who bought the exact same sneakers in 3 different… Continue reading Girly
Maybe I do knit too much?
We recently brought in a swingset - It's a huge hit! And what do I think about while I'm out there pushing the Lorax for hours on end? How I can't wait to finish up some knit projects and use the swingset as a display for them. It's getting to be shawl season...
Chirp!
Over the last few weeks I've noticed a little bird fly up to a holly bush that is outside the window near the computer. I figured it was just a good spot to perch and rest. Then, last week I looked out when it was raining and noticed the same little bird sitting in a… Continue reading Chirp!
Friendship Bracelets!
I mentioned in an earlier post that long before I knit, I used to play with knots. I made friendship bracelets constantly - much like knitting, it was a fairly portable project, there are lots of colors and styles to choose from and the end result looks so neat! Have you heard? Amy, of the… Continue reading Friendship Bracelets!
Buttons
I happened upon a thrift shop last week that has a somewhat organized craft section! I will be making a trip back there in a few weeks or so, just to see what else might turn up. I am intrigued by buttons lately - even without a specific project in mind. Now I've got some… Continue reading Buttons
Trust me, it’s a sock.
This weekend was spent celebrating a "Housewarmthday" party for my brother & sister-in-law - they have a new house and big birthdays - and hosted a fantastic party. I was gifted a rare treat of time to myself - the Lorax stayed behind for quality time with Dad - and I got to relax, eat,… Continue reading Trust me, it’s a sock.
This Moment
{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.– Amanda Blake Soule, Soulemama.com(Also thanks to Peaceful Mom - she participates and shares some wonderful moments!)
Unseasonable – part 2
Going with my own trend of knitting out of season, I've finished a pair of Bella's Mittens. As before, these are samples for FiberTrades.comThese are knit in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky - they are a relatively quick knit. Ravelry details are here. And warm! I wish I had a pair of these back when… Continue reading Unseasonable – part 2
