This weekend was all together too short and too long. We had one designated, planned thing on each day, (each in town and under 2 hours) but by Sunday night we both thought this weekend was too busy. As the holiday season rolls in and we're looking forward to a fundraising event for family, Thanksgiving,… Continue reading The Quiet Busy

Wrapping Up August
For this edition of FO Friday, I have two things that were completed to share with you. I'll share the crochet one first. My August Augusta Shawl, in Manos del Uruguay Serena, is finished and that means I have successfully completed Camp Loopy 2013! I am quite impressed with myself that I did it. I… Continue reading Wrapping Up August
New Project, New Book
It's Wednesday again, time for WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along! I finished up my Stripe Study (yay!) so you'll have to wait until Friday for that report. I have other secret projects I'm working on and in the "downtime" until the next Camp Loopy project starts (tomorrow! I have to get my yarn wound!) I… Continue reading New Project, New Book
Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
I haven't done a listicle in a while, but I could not resist the prompt for today. When I started blogging I think most of the posts featured Jackson, my first "kid", in some way or another. It still happens now that I might meet someone who reads this blog and they know Jackson! Then… Continue reading Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
there and back again
And there goes June. This weekend was very busy, but in the best possible way: with family and yarn! My brother (the guy on the right), who has been in Chile for the last 2 years, is home for just about a month. My parents and brother (the one in the middle) went there this… Continue reading there and back again
Oh, Life.
Typical. I get all excited to do something and then the follow through falls through. I truly intended to complete the entire week of posts for the Knitting & Crochet Blog Week. Wednesday was thrown off for kindergarten parent orientation (and a subsequent letter writing campaign), Thursday I had to put my energy into work,… Continue reading Oh, Life.
4!
Yesterday, the Lorax turned 4! I knew it was coming, and yet I am still surprised that it happened. Time has gone by so fast. I think that 4 is probably the best birthday yet - she was excited that it was her birthday, had fun telling people that she is 4 and that they… Continue reading 4!
That time of year
I love that New England is finally feeling like fall - the nights are cool, people are generally cheery and not bitter about the weather yet, and working with wool is nice again! I finished a test knit of a cowl that I look forward to wearing. We will ignore the portion of the weather… Continue reading That time of year
Tinkerbell Slippers
The Lorax is into the Disney Princesses big time, but a few weeks back we found a Tinkerbell movie at the library, and now we are experiencing a little bit of a fairy phase. We have indulged in the other Tinkerbell movies as well - they are cute stories (though full of plot holes), I… Continue reading Tinkerbell Slippers
Coronation
Before I had kids (!! kids, I have kids!) I used to think that 3 or 4 was a nice number of kids to have - in my family I am the oldest of 3, my dad is the oldest of 4 and my mom is the oldest of 7. Now? I'm good with two… Continue reading Coronation
