Knittingbelle asked about my experience. I know I hit only briefly on the subject, so I will expound here. I have been to the Midwest show in three different cities; Minn/St Paul, St Charles IL, and Rosemont IL. The last two cities in that list were

Not feeling it

No desire to blog right now. And I have so much to blog about. Dozens of photos to show. Stories about the dog and his new pool. Video of the dog and his new pool, and swimming in my Mom's real pool. Just no desire to blog about it. In an attempt

What? No love for the sweater?

Saturday, 25 April 2009 5:37 P GMT-06
I leave for 3 days and no one can send the sweater some love? How cruel! It's going to think you don't love it. You don't, do you. I knew you wouldn't like it. I told myself not to knit it, saying people would reject it, being all gro

Did I make it?

You be the judge. What you can't see is the sleeve sewn on the machine to take care of all the ends and the other sleeve had half of it's ends sewn. I just wasn't making enough headway. And after the washing it took, I wish I had sewn all

What am I doing online?

I still have those 70 some odd ends to weave in on the sleeves so that I can sew them into the body. The body is done, buttons are purchased, I am just waiting on the sleeves. So, get to it girl! Nope. I'd rather show you some fun photos.  H

350 Ends

Did you not hear me? THREE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY ENDS. To WEAVE IN!!! After intense calculations I have determined there are at least 350 ends to weave in on the Harvard Square Cardigan. I did about 50 prior to finishing the sweater pieces. Now that the

Argh!

My MAC keeps locking up and I don't know why! I am trying to get stuff off of it by doing a backup of files, but even that hasn't helped. It locked up while I was writing a post! Now I have no desire to go back and figure out what I was sayin

Now what do I do?

Hubster at work. Girls at school. And here I sit surrounded by Easter Candy. Can I control the cravings? At least I have some rabbit food, carrots, on hand to give me something to crunch instead of a Crunch Bar Egg!  We had an AWESOME Easte

Good Friday

I hope this day brings you to a point of reflection. After an awesome Maundy Thursday program last night, I hope to continue my reflective state. When we got to the church there was a change in our choir loft. One row of chairs had been removed and t

As our baby approaches 8 months old, I reflect on our joy. And wonder what happened to the breeder's estimate of 25-28 lbs! Our big boy weighs in at 33 lbs the last time we checked. A lot different than the 7 lbs he weighed when we got him. But w

 New yarn!!! I must stop this. I am heading to Stitches South in less than 17 days!

Come on!

Yesterday morning I tool the dog out without shoes. Like to froze my feet! At noon I returned home to take the dog out in my church clothes, and wished I had changed into shorts! Girls played outside all day in shorts. Then the storm hit, at 7:00 pm

I may just be able to stay awake today

Sunday, 5 April 2009 2:05 P GMT-06
But it will be close. I took a nap yesterday, 4th day in a row, and then went to bed at 10:00 pm. It's been a while since I went to bed that early. And then woke up at 7:30 and would have loved to stay in bed. But I had to sing in a cantata this

80's Music

I could watch, or is it listen, to VH-1's 80's or 1 Hit Wonders shows all day long, since they seem to play the shows all the time.  And each time I watch them I get sucked into visiting I-Tunes because I just have to buy a song I am rem
