I can now truly be a part of Purling Puppies (if I'm accepted!) because Jackson came home yesterday! So far so good - he's paper trained, he's eaten, drinking water, is always looking for a lap to cuddle, is full of licks / kisses, and last night (the first night) really wasn't too bad -… Continue reading Purling Puppy

Ok, so we thought that we would be able to get Jackson on Friday (the 15th) - I get an email tonight asking if we could be there around 11 on the 22nd? Um... So somewhere there was a miscomunication. I'm waiting to find out if we can get him on the 15th... he'll be… Continue reading Plummet

I was pleasantly surprised by a box in with my mail today - I opened it up to a "5" (much like the sp5 button) postcard on top, then a lovely note describing the "Kawaii" goodies inside - Froggie candy dispenser! Puffed wheat treats, Seed munchies and assorted candies! I could barely contain my excitement… Continue reading SP5 – Thank You!

Wow. So, it looks like we'll get to bring the puppy home next Friday!!!!!! Very excited, very nervous, very curious as to what this will be like!Ever read someone's blog and learn from them? I did that tonight with Caitlynknits - she posted about her clapotis / weaving ends in early (don't do it!) So… Continue reading Time Warp

Two new photos of Jackson - he's about 5 or 6 weeks old, and we'll be bringing him home around July 22! eee! I treated myself today to a manicure / pedicure - very nice! But now, I'm hesitating on picking up the knitting (especially even though the inca alpaca sheds slightly)... there's always later… Continue reading Puppy excitement

Now that I'm on vacation, and Dan's been home this week, I am confused as to what day it is. It kinda feels like a Saturday, but it's Wednesday - I know this because the shows on tv are better :^) I've been netflixing Sopranos - man I love that show! And then tonight, Christopher… Continue reading What day is it?

And then, go see redcurrent for even more links! the happily handmade giveaway - visit some great sites, sign up for their mailing lists and… Continue reading Links!

I recently picked up Teva Durham's Loop-D-Loop book and unfortunately, while it's a stunning book, it's just not for me. So I'm offering it up out there for a trade - I'm willing to trade for yarn, Japanese craft books, Rebecca magazines, etc... I'm open to ideas! I've been meaning to blog for a while… Continue reading Trade for Loop-d-Loop?

Calling my fellow bloggers - I have a wedding to attend in two weeks. I think I have found the dress - black / white / skinny straps dealio, very cute. I was thinking that I should make a shrug to cover my shoulders if the AC is on too much, or to cover my… Continue reading Shrug help

I've been quiet this week on my blog, letting Jackson entertain those of you who stopped by 🙂 And that's okay, because it's been a week! My 27th birthday was on Monday - it was low-key and enjoyable. Dinner at my favorite restaurant, Mary Englebreit books for the home, mini ipod (previously received), "B" floor… Continue reading Summer Time!
