What a weekend. We had a small family party for Nate's 2nd - it was a bit last minute in the planning, but in the end worked out just fine. The general theme of construction / trucks worked out well. A few photos! I got to play a bit in photoshop which was fun, and… Continue reading Party Hangover and a List

Socks and a Birthday
This may be the turning of the tide! I finished the socks for the Lorax this week. I held back from outright giving them to her mostly out of fear that she would balk at the idea, so I just left them on the table. She found them and brought them over to me, "Here… Continue reading Socks and a Birthday
Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
I haven't done a listicle in a while, but I could not resist the prompt for today. When I started blogging I think most of the posts featured Jackson, my first "kid", in some way or another. It still happens now that I might meet someone who reads this blog and they know Jackson! Then… Continue reading Monday Listicle: Life with Kids
Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Someone turns into a little ham when the camera comes out. He knows to say "Cheese" and look at that casual way of posing. Like he doesn't really care if he's in the shot or not. Silly boy. Anyway, I've had a fairly productive week. I am just about at the end of Season to… Continue reading Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Shift Finished!
I am almost done with this year's crazy Rhinebeck Hat - I will probably post a photo on Friday. I can say that both are coming together nicely and this takes the cake for obnoxious, easy to spot, silly, & yet totally appropriate for attending a fiber festival. But this post is about a new… Continue reading Shift Finished!
It’s all coming together
I am just about caught up. I think. Last week was thrown for a loop as party preparations took over. We went with a "Hungry Caterpillar" theme (and as themes go, it was a loose one) and this was a very DIY party for Nate's 1st. It was a good day, we had a good… Continue reading It’s all coming together
New Year, New Foods
From small things~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either… Continue reading New Year, New Foods
Happy Thanksgiving
My favorite time / week / day of the year. I know what to get everyone, I know what to make, I do not have to worry about any returns. Four years ago I knit this hat while waiting for the Lorax to arrive. It is a perfect fit for my new little butterball. May… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
That time of year
I love that New England is finally feeling like fall - the nights are cool, people are generally cheery and not bitter about the weather yet, and working with wool is nice again! I finished a test knit of a cowl that I look forward to wearing. We will ignore the portion of the weather… Continue reading That time of year
One Month
With disbelief I write this post - the lil'nutmeg is already one month old today! We are starting to all get used to each other I think. The Lorax still calls you "our baby from the hospital" and apparently that stuck with her - she drew this picture this week of me, still pregnant. But… Continue reading One Month
