The weather is heating up around here and yesterday, the Lorax told me she wanted to wear flip-flops. This was a huge surprise to me - usually we have a melt down in any shoe store and she hates to try things on. I'm the mom who bought the exact same sneakers in 3 different… Continue reading Girly

Why Didn’t I Think of This Before?
Maybe it was one of those universe alignments, but today I decided to try a new activity with the Lorax. I originally tucked the idea away after reading the post on No Time For Flash Cards - I have yellow split peas left over from Thanksgiving and I even bought a bag of the green… Continue reading Why Didn’t I Think of This Before?
Another snowfall, another project.
But first - the hearts I made for my valentines:Left over sock yarn, held doubled - one made with a face for the Lorax, the other is a sleepy eyed heart with a heart tattoo on its backside, for the hubby. Quick and cute. I have been trying to come up with other ideas for… Continue reading Another snowfall, another project.

Covered.
My sweater is making progress - as of a week ago it was here:(excuse the iphone claw hand). In the last week I have finished the body of the sweater, right down the to the bottom cable and lace patterning and even bound off! The sleeves await me now - I need to go dig… Continue reading Covered.

The knitting is progressing nicely for the most part - I'm taking a few days off from a current sample / test knit because a deadline was lifted (thank goodness) and other projects took priority… Continue reading Scowls, Cowls, and Sniffs
Tea for Two
Wow. Today, Lorelai is two! (That's the Green Toys Tea Set - it's made out of recycled milk cartons!) We are so very lucky to have such a great little girl - she's a sweetheart, friendly, snuggly, and a lot of fun. I still can't believe the language explosion - and there's more of that… Continue reading Tea for Two
And finally, I can sit.
For a moment. The last week or so has been such a blur - there were multiple visits with family, houseguests of all kinds for three days straight and Thanksgiving. It's been good. We hosted Thanksgiving again - it is a lot of work, but between myself and Dan, my brothers, sister-in-law and a brother's… Continue reading And finally, I can sit.
Foodie
I think we're at a new stage with Lorelai. Twice in the last week she has expressed a little interest in helping me to cook in the kitchen. Maybe it is the novelty of standing on a stool and being able to see what goes on above her head. Maybe she is curious. Maybe it… Continue reading Foodie
