"Well I have a thing to tell you and it won't take long. The way I feel about it is a kind of a song...." - Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton.I just got used to saying you were 13 months, and you are already 14 months!! Somehow, you keep getting cuter and cuter. It's amazing… Continue reading 14 months!

Mittens!
In the past few weeks it's been, pardon my New England, wicked cold here. So cold that I get all chicken about going out into the cold with the Lorax. She's got a great hat and is all bundled up when we go out, but she didn't have any mittens. I improvised once and stuck… Continue reading Mittens!
Handknits in Action
Quickly, I finished a hat today (so that's #3 for the 52 hat challenge and two more balls done for the 100 ball challenge and one less WIP on the shelf.) - It was for Hat Attack back in the Fall of 2008. I withdrew because I just couldn't get going on this. And it's… Continue reading Handknits in Action
Two Tops
It's so icky out today - I tried to "shovel" the front walk a bit and it really was just pushing slushy water to the side. Weather reports say snow is coming maybe tomorrow and later on in the week / weekend so maybe I'll actually get a proper action shot of Lorelai in her… Continue reading Two Tops
Mugs
One of the questions on the Cocoa Swap Q & A is about the type of mug you like. That made me think about my favorite mug and what makes it so. I don't have just one favorite mug, I have 6. So, here we have the Starbucks Cabled Mug - it's knitting! So of… Continue reading Mugs
Sock Count (contest results) & another “misfire”
I've counted and sorted and am considering my queue & library for sock patterns - I've got 58 skeins in that box - Ikkinlala was the closest with 57! You win the book since your guess was in first - I've sent you an email - look for it! and Breanna guessed 58! I couldn't… Continue reading Sock Count (contest results) & another “misfire”
13 months!
Wow. What a difference a year, or even a day makes with little ones! The chair doesn't seem too big for you anymore, Lorelai! We're on our toes all the time with you - as are you - two weekends ago you decided "I'm done with crawling." and that's it! You're walking all over the… Continue reading 13 months!
525,600 (whatevers) and then some
Diapers, spit-ups, wipes, drools, mushy foods, pictures, smiles, moments of awe, reading books, games of peek-a-boo....My baby is one! And a few days at this point, but that's ok, because we totally focused on her on her birthday (which was this past sunday). No longer a baby, we've entered "Toddler" stage, and even "Wobbler" stage… Continue reading 525,600 (whatevers) and then some
On the Move
Last night Lorelai started walking! We can get her to walk between us - maybe 5 - 6 steps - it's just incredible to watch her figure out her balance and such. I think she likes the falling part too. She's such an imp! Feeding is now more of an issue - I know I… Continue reading On the Move
Cold Work
What is up with this house? It's freezing inside. I don't know why. I'm not even sure where to start looking for drafts / leaks. Ugh. It was a rough weekend 'round these parts. Friends came in for the weekend - they bring their bassett hound as well, so the house is quite full. Jackson… Continue reading Cold Work
