Some of this I already plurked. We're looking into getting a whole-house-fan. We are lucky enough to have central air, but when the weather gets hot and the house heats up there is little to no air movement, and it doubles (at least) or electricity bill to run the AC. Honestly, I don't like the… Continue reading More Stuff I’m thinking about

Eloquence has never been my strong suit. Anyway. This is really a non-knitting post, while there's progress on my projects, it just doesn't seem blog-worthy to post about the two rows on this or the ball winding for that. I want there to either be a completed object, a whole lot of progress or a… Continue reading Stuff I’m thinking about

Three day weekends that start on Friday are always the best! My brother Matt was in town on Thursday, so we had dinner with my folks and him. Friday we went to Long Island for a party. Yesterday we did very little - well, that's not entirely true. I bought supplies to make baby hair… Continue reading Lounging

See this page?Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterLorelai, you are now a 7 month old scamp! You are "crawling" (army style) all over the place and have the potential for all kinds of trouble. In particular, Jackson's water dish and chew toys. Recently you have shown a fondness for magazines, if only to destroy them. I suppose… Continue reading 7 months!

The last time I did this was March. Getting back on the wagon & editing / updating...--------------------------------------------------Original post here. Updates: January, February, March---------------------------------------------------I like a challenge. I love lists. I think this sort of list would be good to help me keep some focus (on me) now that the bulk of my focus is on… Continue reading June 101 Update

Took Jackson outside for a bathroom break - we go outside our house, down the walk, to the grass, he does his business, we return to the walk past the bushes and into the house. Something caught my eye...Notice anything? Here, I'll zoom in...I don't do very well with snakes,even tiny garter snakes(that's what it… Continue reading Me & Indy

Waiting out the napOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterAfter baby group today, the plan was to go grocery shopping. L started to fall asleep on the way there, so I got myself a treat at Dunkin Donuts (one of the few places that is drive thru around here). Drove down to the water, figuring at least I… Continue reading Waiting out the nap

Nice weekend - cleaned a bit, knit a bit (on socks, swatches and burp cloths) and now I'm obsessed with the idea of getting a space / table at a local craft fair to sell some of the knitted things. Not this summer (I'm crazy with the knitting, but not insane) but maybe holidays? next… Continue reading Slow start

(I think today will be a multiple post kind of day, life is like that.) Happy Birthday to Me! It's tricky taking a photo of a photo, but that's me - just about 1 month old. And now, I'm 30. Crazyness. In my head, I'm only 25? maybe 27? 23 seems too young, 28 doesn't… Continue reading The Birthday Post
