I am always happily surprised by what I find online - crafting led me to knitting. Knitting led me to blogs. Blogs led me to podcasts, particularly LimeNViolet. (Seriously, when Betsy and I get together, it's like a LnV episode. Seriously.) These things have taken over my life, in a good way. Dan can even… Continue reading Farmgirl
7 months!
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!
June 101 Update
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
Me & Indy
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
Internet Black Holes
What is it about sites like plurk and facebook - they just suck you in and WHOOSH, there goes an hour. Knitters have it tough though because we also have ravelry. I've been knitting on all sorts of various projects and have a few ideas brewing in my head. Two of which require some design… Continue reading Internet Black Holes
Waiting out the nap
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
Slow start
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
Attention Walmart Shoppers (the job post)
L. & I were out at Walmart this afternoon. We had just started our poking / shopping when the power went out - I can overhear teeny-boppers screeching, and "Please escort your department's customers to the front of the store" - I slowly start to make my way towrads the front when the lights came… Continue reading Attention Walmart Shoppers (the job post)
The Birthday Post
(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
trying to be a better eco-mama
I've been having so much fun with the stick blender and making "food cubes" for Lorelai - we've got sweet potato, apples, bananas and green beans in the freezer. How easy, just mush up the food and freeze. And as she gets older / more teeth / the hang of eating I can be lazy… Continue reading trying to be a better eco-mama
