(When she got up this morning she immediately picked up the baby doll and put on the lei. Pure sunshine.)There is no 30th of February, but Lorelai is now 15 months. Fantastic! We have a healthy, happy, and active toddler on our hands. Still not talking a whole lot, but she can communicate what she… Continue reading 15 months and a FO

Well, there’s that.
Yesterday we were dumped on with snow. No big deal for me - I can work from home. And this is what happens here - we always get snow in March. One year (1997 I think) we had a blizzard on April 1! I did have to take the Lorax to a check-up and lucky… Continue reading Well, there’s that.
Food Stuff – Jars
In avoiding housework and Google-work for the moment I was catching up on several blogs. I came across these links, and now I sense a food-in-a-jar might be attempted this weekend or early next week.... It's a way to use my mason jars out of season! I'll have to find where Lorelai has taken the… Continue reading Food Stuff – Jars
Dogs on Thursday & A Quick FO
I haven't participated in Dogs on Thursday in a while, so certainly it is overdue. I thought I would share how Jackson and Lorelai currently interact (with some commentary)This is one of Jackson's best tricks - we call it "The Squirrel" because how he sits upright with his itty bitty paws. Lorelai frequently walks about… Continue reading Dogs on Thursday & A Quick FO

These are the ones I have, but this page… Continue reading Yarn Bobbins

Awesome (1000000+)
Last week I received several great packages in the mail. First off: I treated myself to the Ravelry mug. Dan rolled his eyes when he saw it, even after I tried to explain the awesomeness of the "disagree" when it's empty and "Agree" when it's full of coffee. I even offered to share the mug… Continue reading Awesome (1000000+)

Food stuff – Pork Chops
There's a cookbook in my family that I think every female member owns. (There aren't that many males, but I know my uncle has the cookbook as well.) It is known only as "the book". It's been around forever, it seems. Way back, my dad was a resident at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ. The… Continue reading Food stuff – Pork Chops
Blahs and otherwise
My internet was a bit wonky and FUBAR since last Thursday, but now seems to be much better. (Blah#1)I made this little tiger for my Cocoa Swap pal, Sarah - she's starting culinary school! I had a lot of fun shopping for her and making this little guy. I used Barbara Prime's Tiger pattern -… Continue reading Blahs and otherwise
