THe weather has finally turned so nice! I'm trying to maximize my time outside and in the garden. Also, we've got company coming over on Monday. Shocking, but for today weeding and seeding and composting takes priority over knitting. Momentarily. There may be knitting podcasts listened to during the outdoor work, but I really enjoy… Continue reading Preview

When we have kids, I want to dress them in these:TrendyTadpole.comEspecially AB / CD", atomic symbol and drool monster.

Period. No doubt. See? (Amazing Lace teammate introduction is coming later)New duds.Went to a dachshund meet-up / social today. My dog was ready with kisses for everyone, especially me - this is after he won a race! Check out that tongue!

So I think this is going to be my new computer wallpaper:It's a tad dark, but I love the natural lighting and the room it's in. This was a deck that had been screened in to make an all-season room (not by me, I am all for decks) but it is a very nice space.… Continue reading May 11, 2006

We're looking into getting a second dachshund - going to the same place from where we got Jackson today to look at his half-brother (a long hair) and his father (!) (a smooth black / tan). The long hair is ours! Coming home on… Continue reading Choices / Advice needed! (Edit)

Over!" anyway.I am having difficulty with it being so grey and overcast today. Yuck. Hee - I… Continue reading April 22 – Vacation is almost over!

I would love to see a series with these little chicks and knitting... (it may not top this though)Easter dinner was a huge success.… Continue reading April 17 – vacation!

First off, Project Colorswap - April:Marji was such an amazing swap partner! This box was heavy! She sent along "The Life of Pi" which I have been wanting to read for a while now. There are orange sherbet jelly beans and yellow / buttered popcorn jellybeans! There are orange milk chocaltes! There are items to… Continue reading Pictures!

A HUGE box arrived on Tuesday, and it was perfect timing. It was a long day to begin with and my evening commute which maybe takes 30 minutes took 75!! The box came from FiberArts Afloat (Marji) for Project Colorswap - so much orange and yellow goodies, that I cannot start to do it justice… Continue reading Orange-Yellow
