The sun is shining. My family s healthy. My house is warm. Puppy is as fun as ever. And a new year will soon be upon us. In looking back, has this year been the best? Every year that I live through is the best! Comparing one year to another is like c

My Christmas was wonderful! Hubster, who isn't sure about buying gifts, made an effort and he did a great job! He got the 2 things I showed him, a coat and a jacket. Only, the coat is just not as long as I thought. So, it's going back. The je

Sunday's Pre-Christmas with the Bro/SIL went well. The Wii was a big attraction.......for the men! Barbara joined us, she says she was entertained, but I am not sure what kind of entertainment we were! We have pre-Christmas with the Bro's fam

The 3rd Christmas musical event is tomorrow. And then just one more, next Sunday, to go before I am done. At least with Christmas stuff. I was asked to sing in a cantata at a friend's church, she was my former choir director. I was already planni

I don't think today is going to be much better! Above photos are Baby in his sweater I made him. Puppy and Baby bonding, and Puppy horning in on Baby's photo shoot. Wednesday night, Puppy wouldn't settle. Hubster was in NY overnight and P

Just trying to keep up with life. Knitting is sporadic. I finished the baby hat I tried to knit while partying with knit buds. It is darling and just completes the sweater. I still need to wash and block it. I will never tire of this pattern, nor mak
Still here, the implosion wasn't quite complete

But man am I tired! We had a great time Friday night with his guys and their wives. The Lamb Chops were delish, the Filets were tasty, the potatoes were excellent, the veggies could have been better (too dry), the appetizers were yummy, and the com

It wasn't pretty. It was downright scary, and not something I want to repeat anytime soon. After posting that "Your Christmas is Most Like" thing yesterday, and then I go and implode the same day. I am trying to resign from Christmas. I
Any Christmas but that one!

Your Christmas is Most Like: A Very Brady Christmas For you, it's all about sharing times with family. Even if you all get a bit cheesy at times. What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like? Is this not the cutest hat ! I am seriously diggin
Ah, my favorite!

Who would imagine that knitting stranded patterns on size 0's-2's would be a favorite. But something about it just thrills me! Not that I would ever undertake to make a me sized item. Thank goodness I know so many people who keep getting preg

Usually goes better with an assistant. Younger is off camera holding treats! But he usually sits very well, when there are no other dogs or people around! This was after bath, but before brushing, now he looks all fluffy. Without further ado, comment
What does it take?

To get a comment? Hmm? A darling toddler sweater doesn't do it. A stunning dog sweater doesn't do it. OK, so maybe Encore yarn in a dog sweater does not equal stunning. Even a modeled shot of it garnered little. So, what will it take to get y

That's what I feel like. I keep seeing my calendar get more and more filled up. When am I going to find time to do what I want. Wait, most of those things ARE things I want to do. But then there gets to be too much and it all goes south. Where

So, isn't this the sweetest??? I hope it fits the little guy, and that the arms are not too short. They seem un-proportioned to the body, but I followed the pattern. Who knows. I think the color difference is not too noticeable. I notice it
You know the feeling

You are knitting away, you have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. But you forge ahead. Ignoring the obvious, or maybe it wasn't too obvious. Maybe a play of light. Surely it couldn't be that when you washed the pieces for the
