Horrible. Vile. Unconscionable. Remind me how Islam is such a "peace" loving religion, because I am having a hard time believing it right now. Yes, I know sadistic people will do horrible things all in the name of their religion. But pleas
Knitting on

There is a typical winter time knitting phenomenon for me. I end up making the same pattern 50 times over. Don't know why, don't know how, it just happens. My 2007 Flickr page shows 2 hats that caught my attention. I ended up knitting

So I will leave you with photos of our weekend retreat. The hat was started on Saturday morning and finished late Saturday night. It just flew off the needles. My niece claimed it. And perfect size it was. Pattern PDF I kinda followed. Changes were

One more grocery stop and all the food will be purchased. Then I will need to pack it in coolers or bags. I got smart and put the 5 loves of bread in the long plastic snap lid box. Less squishize that way. 5 loaves? Yep! For Baked French Toast and Sa

That's my countdown to leaving for the Retreat. Before then I have groceries to get, meat to brown, measurements to make, and packing to do. I should go buy a sleeping bag to use, seems we have to take our own sheets and stuff. I really wasn'

Not only in the kicking back area, but the temps have dropped and it's a mite cool here. They say the weather is going to be nice this weekend. The temps will only reach mid 50's, but I can live with that as long as it's sunny. Since we a
I suck

I suck at finishing knit items. Since making all those hats I have stalled. I have half a skein left to knit into Lady Eleanor. Half a skein! Of course, then comes the 1.5 skeins of yarn to make the fringe. But I am thinking of making Suzy come and h

see more dog and puppy pictures I apologize if these are your loved ones and you knit this matching set. But, really? Are they trying to be bees for Halloween? This guy actually wanted you to take this picture? I don't which is worse, the ha
Defeat
Thursday, 12 November 2009 8:44 P GMT-06
It's never fun. The Lady Bears lost their first freshman game tonight, 16-31. Elder got in the 2nd and 4th quarters for a bit of playing time. She needs to work out the nervous parts, but she will get there in time. One shot on basket yielded not
It was a hit

The reception went off with not a hitch. The assembly was very nice. I teared up as the color guard brought in the flag. But then I always tear up. I left a bit early to start pouring drinks and missed Taps, which is good because I would likely
Is it Friday yet?
Tuesday, 10 November 2009 8:48 A GMT-06
I'm one tired girl, and the busy days aren't even over yet. Yesterday was 4 hours of baking cookies and scoping out the venue for the reception today.We made 250 cookies! Snickerdoodles, Choco Chips and Peanut Butter Chunk. Why do I imagine t
Well, the week days are over....
Friday, 6 November 2009 8:53 P GMT-06
.....but a busy weekend is still to be dealt with. Tomorrow is practice and a scrimmage for the girls basketball team. Elder will just be practicing. I will go in around 11:00 and help with serving the girls lunch and then stay for the scrimmage with
Is this week over yet?

I don't know if I am coming or going. The week started off well with the new car addition. Then by Monday is was over. Younger got up, but said she felt shaky. So I told her to lay down for a bit and we would see if she felt better later, and the

And she couldn't be more pleased. She now has a car and she can't even drive legally yet!

It's my Cowardly Lion. This is iNDy's Halloween costume for tomorrow. I am not sure how much he will keep it on, hopefully he will forget about it. I am still not sure how to make a tuft for his tail. Or even how to keep it on his tail.

Having been without Internet for 4 days now, I have been trying to post while at Panera. But the page was taking too long to post. I read my email and blogs and then left. Today I will try again. But I guess if I am not successful you wouldn't kn

That's what this little bundle is. All sweetness. Feel like saying "The faces have been altered to protect the innocent". But we just couldn't get her looking up when I snapped the photos! Mom says she likes hats, so hopefully she w
Was it good?
Friday, 23 October 2009 7:02 P GMT-06
You be the judge. Does it look good? Yes it does! Does it taste good? I have no idea, haven't eaten it yet. Did want to cut into it before taking the photo. But now I am getting ready to eat it, so I will check back with you in a min

Lot's of knitting going on. Had a wonderful lunch with the buds yesterday. French Dip, one of my favorite Enjoy It lunches. But I may have to revise my favorite list after Friday night's meal. I am picking up a Seafood Mac'n Cheese for d
Following directions
Wednesday, 21 October 2009 7:02 A GMT-06
Pattern instructions? I suck at following them. Always have to change things. Short row shaping. Eliminate garter or Rev St st. Always something. Follow a recipe? Pshaw! I made Paula Deane's Beef Macaroni last night, only, it wasn't any
Dilemma

OK, see that pile of stuff up there? Here's the problem. I have no Quatro left to finish the cuff of the clog on the right. I have little left to finish the 2nd sole and bumper in the 2 solids, gray (although looks brown) and teal. The othe
They won! Yeah!!

Now to see who they play next. They have to wait until Monday night's championship game from another sectional. And it very well could be their arch rivals. Hubster's alma mater. That's who they played last year. And got beat. Their recor
Where have I been?

I have spent the last few days on my couch. I don't think it's a flu, likely a sinus thing, but the sinus isn't draining, so I am not sure. Of course the full dosage of allergy meds likely has kept the sinus blocked. The itching seems to
A Flower Pot

I guess that's what this could be described as. But it's really just a dimensional flower on the top of a hat. My modification to the Flower Hat from Pick Up Sticks. I just need to felt it and see how it turns out. I considered tacking down t
