Wadi Knitting
Wednesday, 29 October 2003 9:59 A GMT-06
Went to our weekly Wadi Knitting last night. With the cold front moving in I wasn't sure I wanted to get out in the rainy, cold weather, but called Betsey who said she was going, so off I went. Good thing I went, Lea had this waiting for me. Tho
It's OK, they're just little bags.
Tuesday, 28 October 2003 7:53 A GMT-06
Not under my eyes! Well, OK< yes I do have them under my eyes. But I also have little bags on the mind. And not just any little bags, Madeleine Bags! Remember that I called up to Threadbear on Sunday to catch my friends who were there. Rob got one
Top of the 5:00 AM Morning to you, NOT!
Monday, 27 October 2003 9:02 A GMT-06
Now for those of you who view this time of the morning as a naturally occuring event you may wonder what the problem is. I don't do 5:00 AM, I don't even do 6:00 AM, and I almost miss 7:00 AM (alarm goes off at 6:45 AM). My 6:45 AM is gentl

Sunday, 26 October 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
The stash enhancement wasn't massive but it was good. I got some exquisite bead markers made by Handknitter, who is reportedly getting out of the bead marker making business so get yours while they're hot! Some lovely Due Chine to make younger a love
Where to start?
Saturday, 25 October 2003 7:55 P GMT-06
How to explain and share all we did in such a short space? We got to Threadbear at 12:?? PM. We dived right in. Quick hello's to the guys and off we went in search of stash. Met up with a list member from a yahoo list right off the bat. Looked at boo
Toothless Wonders
Friday, 24 October 2003 2:10 P GMT-06
Yes, we have achieved a tooth extraction at my house. DH was finally able to get that little tooth out of Younger's mouth. I was gone at the time, but when I got home she met me in the kitchen, actually I think she had been sitting in a chair in fron

Thursday, 23 October 2003 7:46 A GMT-06
I am 1 project away from a big Felting Frenzy!! I have my Booga J and Fuzzy feet, done and hopefully will have the Girl Talk hat done today. It seems weird in it's sizing and instructions. Almost backwards to my way of thinking. But I will press on a

Tuesday, 21 October 2003 7:45 A GMT-06
Well, after my hat disater I decided to go ahead and start my Booga J bag. Now I am almost finished with Booga J. My cousin picked up the girls after school so I had about 5 hours of uninterrupted knitting time! Cast off the top last night and all th
Another one bites the dust!

All hats are off now! The Festdrakt was running low on fuel, I mean yarn. So it's out of here, ripped and reskeined and gone from my memory. Now to get back to work on my other WIPs. At least I have some small projects (socks) to take along and some

A friend of mine has been AWOL for the past week but she finally got back to posting on her blog and the cutest little set was part of the post. I think this is adorable! Hmm, who do I know that has a need for something like this? Well, there's the f

Friday, 17 October 2003 11:05 A GMT-06
Gee, where did my week go? It sure was a busy one. Now that the weekend is here I think I might have a moment to myself, but probably not! DH has to go in to work this weekend, after working 29 hours straight Weds AM to Thursday noon. He came home ye
Oh my, I am in love!
Thursday, 16 October 2003 8:02 P GMT-06
With Rebekka! No, not a woman, a thing of beauty! Anyone know where I can find the pattern for this? I have searched with Google to no avail. I would much prefer to not spend $278.00 to $305.00 for this creation when I know I could create it myself f
A Happy Festdrakt to you!

Hope everyone is having a good day and that life is full of all that's good. It was a busy day of run here to sit for a bit and then turn it all around again. But those times of sitting provided a time to knit, and a time to knit provides an opportun

Sing it with me, all you Toby Keith fans! Yes, we are going to be singing tonight. Well, at least 3 of the 4 of us will be rocking to Toby Keith in Concert. My DH, who doesn't listen to country music-but can sing just about every song that's out righ

Friday, 10 October 2003 9:20 A GMT-06
Yeah, no more "I'm knitting but I can't show you or tell you anything about it"! So what am I knitting on now? Well I started a sock. I realized I need a mindless knitting project for an ongoing study I am doing over the next 3 months. Something to k
I need a photographer!
Thursday, 9 October 2003 11:01 A GMT-06
What do you get when you need a head shot of yourself and the only people in the house are the 6 year old and you? This, and this, and even this! To give credit where credit is due, I am the photographer, although I wish I could blame it on a 6

Friday, 3 October 2003 9:22 A GMT-06
So I have 1 deadline to meet, 2 sweaters in action, 2 socks long past action, poncho that bombed* (later), and more than enough on my list ready to spring into action. So what did I do yesterday? Cast on for a hat that was completely not on the list!
