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

Decked out by Auntie VA (and a haircut)
This was Wednesday (at the library): We went for a nice walk and stopped in to get a haircut. Unplanned, but it worked. Today she looks like this:Yes, that's a handmade sweater 🙂 Not by me, but by Auntie Virginia (ravelry link) - today is forecast for a high of 65?! Fantastic! Sweater weather for… Continue reading Decked out by Auntie VA (and a haircut)

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
8 months!
Didn't we just do June? My silly girl, time is flying!8 months old and you already can do so much! You've become rather attached (to me) which I am ok with, but don't you know that everyone wants a piece of you? You make so many people smile when we go out and about -… Continue reading 8 months!
Ocean State
Lorelai and I went in to Rhode Island with my mom to visit my grandmother and spend the night. We had a really great time and it was good my grandmother got to have one-on-one time with the baby - we're seeing her again at Labor Day, but everyone will be there, so this is… Continue reading Ocean State
Not right either.
I've got this idea in my head to make a witch hat. For babies. I started with one pattern and got something way too big. A bit of re-thinking and I decided to start again and this time make the newborn size (less knitting to see if it works!) Well. It doesn't match what's in… Continue reading Not right either.
Picture Story – Baby
(I'm almost done with my sweater seaming... hopefully this afternoon...)Lorelai stood, by herself on her own two feet, no support other than her own being. Two seconds, then she plopped back down. Little one, you are almost doing this too fast for me!! My new favorite photo: Happiness.
The Very Patient Bear
Hoo-ray! I finally finished the Bobbi Bear that I started back in 2005!!! All he needed was ears and a face. At SnB last week I was talking with others about finishing, and I challenged myself to get it done by the next SnB - and I did it! Go me! He's huge. And the… Continue reading The Very Patient Bear
Good Eats
I did say my next post would have knitting - it's all being worked on. Certainly I can distract any blog readers with Lorelai's adventures into "solid" food? She had her first cereal today. She went at it like a champ! It might not look like it from that last photo, but more food went… Continue reading Good Eats

Trying to make one post to cover everything. First, it is Thursday, so there's a Jackson spotlight for Dogs on Thursday:He's been pretty good since we returned from vacation. Only one accident in the house (we give him one free pass when he comes back to us) and he's uber-affectionate. Kisses all around, especially for… Continue reading Kisses
