Jackson hasn't gotten much play in the blog lately - yesterday he tolerated my playing around with the camera. Macro / SuperMacro + Dachshund Noses = fun photos!Made with BigHugeLabs.com Mosaic Maker. He's been a good dog lately - barky, as always, but it's what he does. He's very good with Lorelai - loves when… Continue reading Dachshund Noses

Time to Decorate
I was waiting on pulling out the Halloween decorations - today seems like a good day to tackle that. We've been given decorations to add to our own stuff this year and they are just sitting on the table. And I made a new little decoration, this little bat:He's in a bat cave! No not… Continue reading Time to Decorate
Crayola Joy
Color me excited, my baby used crayons! We had a little playdate at our house yesterday. I pulled out crayons and paper for the older little girl who was coming over, but the Lorax was taken with them. So I put her at the table and she sat and colored for 20 minutes! She did… Continue reading Crayola Joy
Looped
I think I've figured out Magic Loop - and I think I love it! I'm really amazed that a) it works! and b) why didn't I try to learn this sooner? Now I want to Magic Loop everything! I finished one iPhone Mitt - since it is one long tube, it's perfect for tv knitting,… Continue reading Looped
Cover every little neck
a.k.a. My dog is a good sport part #3750293854 (note to Emmie beloved cat of Knelley, you could be a better sport!)I've been wanting to make this for a while - it's a "Snood for a Hound" ravelry-link by Erssie.

My mom did it and I love it - still do, I've already started a file of magazine pages with ideas for costumes / parties / decorations / crafts for when Lorelai… Continue reading My Dog is Such a Good Sport (Part1)
Cold Work
What is up with this house? It's freezing inside. I don't know why. I'm not even sure where to start looking for drafts / leaks. Ugh. It was a rough weekend 'round these parts. Friends came in for the weekend - they bring their bassett hound as well, so the house is quite full. Jackson… Continue reading Cold Work

There's some knitting progress - I'm still plugging away on the Hemlock Ring. I've slowed down a bit because I'm almost out of written instructions and the charts are consfusing to me. But I'm going to have to work with the charts in another 8 rows or so... My Schaefer project has 10 more rows… Continue reading Photos

This morning seemed quiet enough. L. and I were getting ready to go out and meet friends for a coffee / starbucks snack. We took Jackson out for a bathroom break and on the way back into the house he stepped on a yellow-jacket! Poor guy - he started whining / yelping / crying and… Continue reading Updates
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
