Check it out. It’s not breakfast this time. Instead, I decided to go all out and make a dinner that was totally good wine worthy. It’s amazing how much time you have on your hands when the kids are away for a week. When we went to Lina’s yesterday, I went a [...]

I wrote a few weeks back about Sunday brunches being something important and special, here at chezDarts and this morning was no exception. The kids asked for French Toast, which in my opinion is generally a nasty business. I don’t really have much of a sweet tooth. And, your traditional egg coated and syrup smothered [...]
Turning Back The Year
Posted in Life, project photos, Year in Review on December 31, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Tonight I celebrate New Year’s with a glass of wine in my hand and a heaviness in my heart. I really enjoyed 2009 and am honestly sad to see it go. This year was full of love, life, good friends, family, and yarn. Lots of yarn. And knitting. In 2009, I knit… A Smattering of [...]
It’s Been Awhile

I haven’t had the posting Mojo lately. I think I have been spending too much time on Ravelry. I did cast on for a pair of socks though. These are being knit out of that new fangled merino/cashmere/nylon blend that all the kids are raving about these days. You can’t tell that these are Sunshine [...]

Obsessive

Last night, my husband told me I am obsessed. With yarn. To which, I of course told him; I am so not. I mean, when you look at this definition, it doesn’t sound so nice, right? ob·ses·sion n. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of [...]

I have overextended myself a little lately and consequently, I have been forced to rush a little to meet some deadlines. We spent the weekend landscaping. It was some tough, let me tell you! Another project taking up a lot of my time is the Cookie A. KAL project #2. For some reason, I decided [...]
Ick…

Monkey appears to like my favorite silk scarf almost as much as I do. However, she found a new, and strangely icky way in which to love it. She did this over and over for about an hour until I tried to take it away. Anyone know how to get boogers out of a silk [...]
Kickin it old school…

Right now in my house, a weird thing is happening. TG and Bunny are kickin’ it old school and enjoying a bit of gaming action, Sega style. Seriously! Bunny has been begging TG all week to pull out his old Sega gaming system and get it hooked up. See, this past weekend, she found some [...]
Bringing in the New One

So, I took a little trip back down memory lane in my last post. I realized that while I knit a very large amount of socks, I was lacking in the more intricate types of projects that challenge and allow a knitter to grow. As I looked a bit deeper at the completed projects over [...]
