In blog surfing this morning I came across Alex Year One and couldn't resist a "5 songs" list. So, a day late, here's my 5 songs that remind me of high school. The Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXrRAVvPekA&rel=1]reminds me of my first boyfriend. haunting.I still love all these songs....
Quickest Sock Ever?
On Monday night I finished up my Bartholmew Socks and immediately cast on for "Lenore" - this was from the 2007 Blue Moon Rockin Sock Club - a first peek at the Raven series to come. The pattern was designed by the Yarn Harlot. When I started I nearly gave up - the top part… Continue reading Quickest Sock Ever?
Mew, not MULE! And a bunny.
I'm so excited to have finished a pair of socks - it feels like forever! I started these socks back in September and kindof just lost steam with them. But they are done (and I immediately cast on for "Lenore"). For whatever reason I'm having trouble saying "Bartholomew's Socks" - in my head I keep… Continue reading Mew, not MULE! And a bunny.
My Chair – Dogs On Thursday
A few summers ago I bought two big round chairs at Target (Papason?). They are comfortable to curl up and read in, have room to knit, but we used to joke that wouldn't it be nice if Jackson would sit in there? Last year (2006) around Christmas, he would go sit in the chair -… Continue reading My Chair – Dogs On Thursday

Two Months Old!
Happy Two Months, Lorelai! Someone, I forget who, decorated this onesie at my baby shower. It reads, "If you think I'm cute you should meet Jackson" - and boy, do we ever think she is cute! How can she get cuter every day? And she still has all that hair! Makes her look older, which… Continue reading Two Months Old!
Big Bad Baby Blanket
I finished this blanket last week or just before. I bought the yarn back in May when Betsy and I went to Webs. I started it, but stopped because I got superstitious... I picked it up and put it down many times, more so towards the end of my pregnancy, but didn't finish it before… Continue reading Big Bad Baby Blanket
Photos!
Photo-heavy post. We can start with knitting - when Lorelai is wrapped up in the moby wrap, I have my hands free to type, blog, knit, etc - see?She doesn't look very comfortable, but it worked for our walk and she's been snoozing in it / on me for the last 30 minutes or so.… Continue reading Photos!
Surprised.
I couldn't believe when I heard the news on the radio about Heath Ledger!I loved him in "10 Things I Hate About You", "A Knight's Tale", "The Patriot", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Monster's Ball"...looking forward to the "Dark Knight"... So much talent, so sad. I've got to take photos, but I've finished Lorelai's baby blanket, and… Continue reading Surprised.
Modern Letter Project
I came across the link to this on another blog: The Modern Letter Project - how cool is that? I'm signing up, as I am a snail mail junkie and miss having pen pals. I used to have a bunch - I can remember my mom telling me I had to pay for the postage… Continue reading Modern Letter Project
