Am I Blue?

Obviously not – seeing as I have no new knitting to do, I thought I’d search the house for Project Spectrum Blue. I found out – to my surprise actually, that I have very little blue in the house!
Also – how can I be blue when I got the most wonderful surprise in the mail [...]

"Monday Night Dinner"

I didn’t get much knitting done tonight – but that’s okay. It was “Monday Night Dinner.”Anyone who knows anything about our family, knows about Monday Night Dinner. Most people are amazed and, I think, really a little jealous that we do this. I guess I can’t blame them – I am blesssed with an awesome [...]

When Did I Get This Old?

In my mind, I look nothing like this…. I’m younger, don’t have a turkey neck – or a big nose. I’m sure it’s all in the camera angle or the crapola bathroom lighting – (yeah – all 20+ shots trying to get a picture of the “real me”) – ok, I guess this is the [...]

Tuesday Swim Club

I’m trying to rearrange my life around changing schedules.
I like schedules. I like routine.The kids are out of school, the kids are busy – as much as I love having them home, they mess with my routine.
I need to learn to live without a routine…. at least for the summer – so I’m a “fun” [...]

Our Memories

It’s funny, the things we remember, and why. The “things” we attach our memories to.I’m sure, if my grandmother had given any thought (and she actually did talk about these things) about what she would like people to have to remember her by, she would have never thought of these swizzle sticks. But, to me [...]

Does This Make Me A Bad Knitter?

Cool shadow, eh? Doesn’t really match any of my WIP’s on the side bar does it…. guess I better add another one.
Larry, as much as I love him and the First Class Shawl, is just TOO hot to sit on my lap with the weather we’ve got going now.
And, I wanted a project other [...]

Finding Larry*

*or, “Cashing In and Dropping Out”

Is it just me?, or do we all have fleeting fantasies of just cashing it all in and dropping out of society – getting out of the rat race. Okay, actually, my life isn’t all THAT hectic, maybe more of a mouse jog than a rat race, but you get [...]

No knitting content today…. only bragging

Isn’t she cute! Graduation last night was a great time. The weather was beautiful, the kids were excited – and the graduation went off without a hitch. No problems or “spectacles.” (when I graduated, someone streaked across the top of the library in the quad during the middle of the ceremony!)
I only cried a couple [...]

ohhhhh, What Have I Done

Yes….. that’s Kaity, and yes…. she’s spinning.
She’s been wanting to spin for awhile now. And, I keep saying, absolutely not – NOT in my house. Seriously, people – you have no idea how her knitting alone has taken over the entire house. It’s everywhere, in some form or another. Two or three WIPs lying around, [...]
