Ah, time to relax

At least until it's time for the dinner reservations. I am getting real good at avoiding making dinner in my kitchen. I haven't "cooked" anything since, oh, maybe Friday of last week? Yes, I was away from my kitchen for 4 days, but even so,

I'm back!

Did ya miss me? Did ya even know I was gone? But wait, I posted Wednesday, or did I really? Sure, I can see the date and day posted with that Sock entry. Who was to know I wrote it on Sunday night? I didn't tell anyone. I was out in Hilton Head enjoy

Sock it to me

Trying to finish up some socks for my class. Man these things are quick. They would be done by now if I didn't keep finding other things to work on. Too bad it's much too hot to enjoy wearing them. Not that Encore is my choice for socks. These will b

How's it going?

It's fine here. Too much stuff left to do before school starts. There's just not enough hours in a day. What happened to all those plans I made at the beginning of summer? Poof! Gone with the heat and humidity. It's only 17 days until school starts.

Just bagging it

Whew, it's been a run-around day doing kid drop off, birthday present shopping and assembly, and now kid pick up starts. And not a lick of knitting has been done. Well, just a little. Most of the bag <!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->progress was

So, it's been a great day. But first, a few pics from the Sheep Over, All Knitter. Here is some of the gang <!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->, just missing a few. And finally, here is the model shot of Tweed<!-- Script Size: 0.73 KB -->.

Where was I?

Thursday, 21 July 2005 9:24 A GMT-06
And why didn't I get the camera out? I was having an "All-knitter"(thanks to Mary's son for the phrase) at my "Sheep-over"(see what happens when someone starts the yarn ball rolling?). We had a great time! So much laughter and k

Call out the dogs!

I need a trusty bloodhound to find a precious item. I can't even believe it's missing. I mean, I just saw it, um, well I am sure it's been recently. OK, so I can't remember the last time I worked on Parfait, but I am sure it's been in the last 2 mont

Busy week

I am watching a friend's 2 girls this week as her babysitter is on vacation. So now to find things to do to keep a 4, 6, 7 and 10 year old happy. Bowling is one Thursday, Movie is Tuesday and today is Pull Teeth Day. They get to go see Elder get 4

Too much to to report

My knitting bag

Thursday, 14 July 2005 9:28 A GMT-06
I love it, just like I loved all those other bags before I was seduced by a new one. I guess it just makes me happy. I love seeing the colors of my knitting through the clear sides. I haven't been using the cloth insert, but maybe when the weather tu

How much rain?

Wednesday, 13 July 2005 5:03 P GMT-06
More and more. Just when is it going to stop? Not anytime soon. Thunder showers are forecast for the later part of the week and weekend. There goes our trip to the local Water/Amusement Park on Friday. We will go if there is just rain and no thunder,

Rain, Rain, come back when it's not so busy

Tuesday, 12 July 2005 1:07 P GMT-06
Just why does it choose to rain on days that are busy? Why not on days I have no plans to leave the house. But wait, just when do I have those days lately? Ah well, the ground sure needs it and I will not melt (not at all that sweet!). I dodged the d

Quick Knit, Quick Post

I spent the day watching the rain and working on Confetti. The customers were few due to the constant rain. You would think they needed something to keep them occupied while waiting for the rain to stop. Some days it must not seem worth opening the d

Still plugging

Wednesday, 6 July 2005 9:48 P GMT-06
We're holding on here, the modem is still working when we keep unplugging and plugging back in. Then today I had to start unplugging the router and replugging it. Hopefully it will hang on for awhile. But while I can, here is a recap of the fun we ha

I'm back

Just when you thought it was OK to go back in the water! Home from the trip, but missing something important. MY INTERNET!! Apparently the modem couldn't hang on. Was somebody using it while I was gone? I think it's fried now. Finished Molly, picture
