The Sweater of Infinite Joy(Ravelry link) is blocking. In it’s place, I have cast on for another, substantially smaller sweater. I am working on this sweater for Monkey. The pattern is free from Elann and I have been eyeing it for a long time. I had some left over Mission Falls cotton and so in [...]

I Am Brand New
Posted in baby stuff, birthday, Monkey on February 3, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Best Birthday evah. I was steamed and scrubbed and steamed and scrubbed again, massaged and pampered. Oh, and then I was fed lunch at the spa. Then, we came back and packed up, loaded everything into the van and set out for… Storm Mountain Lodge. There was plenty of time to relax… A gourmet birthday [...]
I’ve Given Thanks Before, but I Will Give it Here Again

Since our neighbours neighbors to the South are currently celebrating their day of giving thanks (and eating turkey), I thought I would join in too. Why? Because I finished the scarf that would not die. Seriously. Can’t. Believe. I am. Finished. Wahoo!! So, it looks like I did me some Christmas knitting after all. And, [...]
Random Thing Thursday
Posted in baby stuff, Bunny, Monkey, new projects, project photos on November 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Just a few random things this Thursday to report. 1. Halloween was a hit at our house. I have one very satisfied and sugar bombed Turtle to prove it. Bunny & Daddy stayed out for an hour and a half(!) and only came home because the bag (and Daddy’s pockets) was too full to shove [...]
A Little Love (and sleep) Goes a Long Way

Sanity has been (somewhat) restored to my house. After getting two nights worth of (mostly) adequate sleep, a little understanding from TG, and some love from my friends – your comments were most appreciated and really made my day! – I feel so much better. Although life still has its ups and downs (Bunny tipped [...]
Stash Busting? Oh yeah.

Well, the self imposed yarn diet is working. I have been simultaneously knitting from my stash and fending off yarn cravings. It’s been tough, but I am making it. I even went to two yarn stores on Tuesday and didn’t buy a single thing!! I am also making tons of progress on the projects I [...]

So much has happened in the last nine days. We have all had the flu, myself and Monkey included, which has contributed to the lack of blog posting. Also, I have been gearing up to teach my sock class 101 that I committed to teaching at Make One on Monday nights. Concidentially, I taught my [...]
Free to GREAT Home
Posted in baby stuff, cats, Monkey on September 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Well, it looks as though Monkey may be alergic to the cats. This means that they have to go and soon. I am beyond upset about this as these cats have been my best-est friends for over 8 years now. They are seriously wonderful felines and are incredibly well behaved. Both are de-clawed (hey, don’t [...]
On the Wagon…

I have owned the same watch for the last, um, decade or so and it was a gift from a very ex-boyfriend and was quite possibly stolen by said ex. I like it well enough, but lately, it occurred to me that it might be time to get a new watch. So, with that intention [...]
Wild Monkeys (all worn out)

Well, we went to the wedding this weekend and while it was a wonderful affair, I am extremely tired and so is Husband. And the kids? Exhausted. Seriously. They actually slept all the way home which gave Husband and I an hour and a half of relative relaxation. It was quite the weekend, between trying [...]
