Time to relax.
Thursday, 31 July 2003 2:37 P GMT-06
What do you do when you bring 2 extra kids home from VBS? Why put them to bed and then take them bowling the next day. Since Younger didn't really get to celebrate her birthday yesterday because of our busy scedule I caved into cries of "can So-&

Argh! and Where were you on this date in 1997?
Wednesday, 30 July 2003 9:32 A GMT-06
I had written a post and saved it in a draft to post today. When I tried to post it, it failed somehow and ate my post! Now it is nowhere to be found. This day is just not going as planned. You see it all started last night at 10:00 PM when I left ho
Hi Mom!

If you are reading this I just wanted to let you know that you can pull up pictures that are linked in my post by clicking on the highlighted words. See the post from Sunday, the word Ta-Da is a different color? Using your mouse, click the left butto
What kind of a Designing Woman are You?
Tuesday, 29 July 2003 8:34 A GMT-06
I am Mary Jo Shively: You’re talented, lovable and bubbly as a country brook. But when it comes to self-confidence, sugar-booger, you’ve got a thing or two to learn. Once you find your voice and speak up, there'll be no stoppi
Fruit of the Spirit
Tuesday, 29 July 2003 8:29 A GMT-06
Here is the Monday night craft the kids did. It is a bookmark to mark all of the "fruits" of the spirit passages. Each ribbon can be used to mark the page. At the closing assembly both of the girls got to go up and get a hat because they brought a gu
Talk about greedy!
Monday, 28 July 2003 8:59 A GMT-06
After 3 days of not letting me into her house, she now wants me to send out invitations to her house warming party! Talk about greedy? Well Special K takes the bag! I stood outside, knocking at her door, ringing the bell, she wouldn't come down
We're moving on up!

We had a lovely presentation given to us last night about a new condo being built in Florida. They lovely sales associates gave us a brief overview of the unit by using a scale model. It was very detailed in showing the ocean, the sand, sidewalk, pal
A lazy day
Saturday, 26 July 2003 8:57 A GMT-06
Nothing major planned for the day. Just a majo overhaul to clean this house. Girl's have pretty much dragged all their stuff out of their rooms and into my sitting and living rooms. Good thing clutter doesn't scare me!
On the knitting front I haven'
My mind's made up!

Here is the link to the lovely cabled sweater that is a free pattern. Some of you may have already found it, but if not feast your eyes! Moira is a Berroco knock off of a Berroco pattern, Maureen. Seems the yarn for Maureen, Bluefaced Leicester, is d
Link etiquette
Friday, 25 July 2003 1:23 P GMT-06
I was thinking about this issue today as I was printing out a wonderful cabled sweater pattern from a free pattern library. I was thinking that I should broadcast this great resource via my blog today. But then I thought about the etiquette of using
It's Dried Spice Time!
Thursday, 24 July 2003 7:39 P GMT-06
I know, you thought the Spice Market Square Bag was done. Well, the knitting was done. But it has been stuffed in a cabinet waiting for handles since the felting. Today the box was in the mail, a check would have been nice too, but I'll take the box!
Day Pack Part II
Thursday, 24 July 2003 10:01 A GMT-06
Here is what happens with leftovers. You put em all together and you make a stripey Day Pack. I started this yesterday early evening before we left to met DH for dinner at Outback Steakhouse. We picked up MIL on the way and had quite an enjoyable eve
Lunch is served!
Wednesday, 23 July 2003 12:24 P GMT-06
Here is what's left of my lunch. I was served in style by my elder and my niece. They took my order, eggrolls and Mt Dew please. Cooked, sat the table and served me lunch. And all this for only $.50US! Wow, I will be coming back to this restaurant! T
It's a washing!
Wednesday, 23 July 2003 10:51 A GMT-06
Yes the Day Pack is in the wash and we will see how it comes out. Put it in a pillow case so the straps did not get mangled. Just got it out and it is still too loose.
Not much difference yet. Back into the tub for you! Now that's more like it. On
It's ChicKy Time!
Tuesday, 22 July 2003 3:05 P GMT-06
With all the Chicy-ness going on I couldn't resist! Yes, I ordered my ChicKami today. Prompt service was given (it took me longer to figure out how to get this saved than it did for them to send it!) and now I must visit the knitting stash to see wha
Mail Call
Tuesday, 22 July 2003 2:25 P GMT-06
Well the first ebay win showed up today! It was the one I really wanted. Baby Cashmerino in a pale olive color. I guess it is close to Pea Green in Cashmerino Aran by Debbie Bliss. But I can't find this color number anywhere so it must be discontinue
What a great knit day!
Monday, 21 July 2003 2:20 P GMT-06
Between Birthday Party yesterday afternoon and last night I got a lot of knitting done. DH got called out to his place of work to take care of some problems, I call him the fireman! And since I can't sleep when he isn't here I stayed up until 12:00AM
You old Bag!
Sunday, 20 July 2003 4:43 P GMT-06
Here is my Day Pack from Two Old Bags. I am in the purple color and getting close to my first color change. Good thing I finally remembered to keep track of my rows so I know to watch for the color change soon! I know, it ain't much!

How I spent my Saturday
Saturday, 19 July 2003 6:38 P GMT-06
It started off great with a morning of cafe knitting at the Wadi. We had some new people drop in and we are always glad when new people appear! One friend, Kristi, brought her spinning wheel to tempt me some more. She also told me of a possible

Friday, 18 July 2003 4:35 P GMT-06
Who are these kind and generous people that they would send me some lovely yarn, clear out of the blue. They must like something about me. Or maybe it was a little bird who asked them to send something to me? I am hoping that I guessed right on who t
Water logged
Thursday, 17 July 2003 4:18 P GMT-06
Boy am I done! I got a wild hair today and decided to take the girls to a local swimming pool which has added attractions since I was young. As we have driven by the pool with it's almost 3 stories tall water slide the girls would look longingly at i
Ta-Da, no really

Steek sewn
You can barely see the lines of stitching 3 rows to the right and left of the yellow line.
Steek cut
Messy Steek
Now Ta-Da!
Wednesday, 16 July 2003 11:59 P GMT-06
See the steek? See the steek not run? See the steek not unravel? What do you think? Pretty fast for a new steeker, wouldn't you say?
Looking good.
I picked up the sts for the right side and have started the band. The steek tips I learned are: I
Ta-Da!
Wednesday, 16 July 2003 8:59 A GMT-06
It's done! What's that you say? The yellow stripe down the front. Oops! Well maybe it's not really done yet. But as my elder said, "It looks done". OK, I do not plan to keep the yellow stripe in there, she wants me to. So it's off to Steek I go. I wi
My shopping day
Tuesday, 15 July 2003 1:06 P GMT-06
Since the girls were away from home I managed to run to a nearby town for some stash enhancement. I guess I don't know distances because I thought this shop as further away than it is. That's a good thing. So here is a picture of my haul.
