(Whoops, missed November!)--------------------------------------------------Original post here. Updates: January, February, March, June, July, August, September / October---------------------------------------------------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 my family. This list has been inspired by… Continue reading December 101 Update
On a More Serious Note
My heart is a little heavy - two separate friends have had to deal with some rough news of family deaths, last week a local 15-year old committed suicide. Today clicking through my blogs I came across this post: here. That led me to this: To Write Love on Her Arms.I just want to give… Continue reading On a More Serious Note
Christmas in Motion
Does it happen any other way? The Holidays always seem to be a blur to me - we always travel. I have forever gone to Rhode Island and back to CT multiple times. Dan's family is from Long Island. They always travel. For us it was RI on Christmas Eve, back to CT to do… Continue reading Christmas in Motion
Christmas Catch-Up
(Maybe I should make a resolution to not title my posts with "catch up" I feel like a use that a lot!)First off, a big big Thank You! to Amy - she had a contest on her blog and while I didn't win, I was a close second! She sent me a great package!There's the… Continue reading Christmas Catch-Up
Avoiding the chills
It's cold out and we're surrounded by 6-8 inches of snow and ice. I don't mind, and I'm not complaining. I like New England winters - sure they are unpredictable, but when the first snowflakes start to fall it is just so pretty out! And as long as there is snow, it makes the cold… Continue reading Avoiding the chills
Tickled
First off, Congrats to Theatreknitter and Piccologirl on their becoming "official" aunts! Not that they were any less special as Aunts to any of the children that surround them, but their sister had her baby, Patrick, yesterday! Yay for babies! Second, I've taken a break from my must-do knitting (super secret project, CPH sleeves, Dan's… Continue reading Tickled
Finally the knitting!
I started and finished this hat last week. Lion Brand Thick & Quick held double - great for stash busting. Super quick too. And good for impressing new knitters at a local yarn shop. I thought maybe it would work for Dan, but the color (Nantucket - a grey-green) and detail (cables) make it too… Continue reading Finally the knitting!
The Lorax
I love this news article about "The Lorax" being popular again. It has long been a favorite book of mine and it is also now a pet name for Lorelai - she's "The Lorax". She'll probably hate that nickname years from now, but it has stuck (more than anything else - we like Lori and… Continue reading The Lorax
Bumped and Bruised
photo.jpgOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterI was planning to blog about the hats I've finished, the mittens I've started (they are mine and they are going to rock), the fetchings I've started (to match the hat) and the little dress for which I finally have buttons. I was interrupted, as one happens to be when there is… Continue reading Bumped and Bruised
A Musical Distraction
(In a knitting nutshell: I've started a DreamSwatch Head Wrap - it's cute, probably I'll keep it. I've started an earflap hat with some rediscovered yarn I got at a Farmhouse Yarn Sale. I'm about to start that black cable hat that was on the Chum the other day, in some other yarn. Dan offered… Continue reading A Musical Distraction
