These past few weeks have been surreal. I was going to sit down and write about the baby shower I gave my sister, but before I knew it Adam was headed to Reno for work, and was going to be gone over our anniversary. This seriously bummed me out, and so my parents took the kids and I up to the cabin last Thursday. My sister decided to come on Friday, and on Adam's and I 11th anniversary

Yes, if there ever was an award for a bad blogger, I would surely get it. This summer has been full of swimming, sun and fun-and very, very little knitting. I have sewn a few things, but nothing too exciting. However, seeing I am about to be made an official aunt on Sept. 7, and have been busily planning a baby shower, I realized at one time I was going to knit a few gifts. So Tuesday night I

I have not forgotten about this blog, but sometimes life just gets busy, and sometimes there just isn't anything good to say. A little bit of both has been happening to me lately, and for some reason I have been very, um, quiet. Now for those who know me that is a rare thing. Another rare thing that has been going on is I have not been knitting. There is really no reason for that, just busy with

Fear not, dear readers-I have not abandoned you. My server has been acting up this past week, and now my camera isn't cooperating. Ah well, such is life.Last Tuesday Veronica fell off her top bunk and broke her wrist. Of course this all happened at nine o'clock at night, but we were home and back in bed by midnight. The doctor set it in a hard cast on Friday, and in 3-4 weeks the sucker should

First of all I would like to thank all of you for your kind words-both regarding the family's loss, and the well-wishes for my sister's pregnancy. All of your comments are greatly appreciated, and mean so much to me!Is it me, or did April just fly by? Honestly, I just don't know where it went. Not that I am complaining-I am so ready for the warm weather to get here, and the leaves on the trees

My sock is coming along fine and still striping beautifully (well done Sarah!). I just started to turn the heel last night-I can't wait to get these beauties done and on my feet. Hopefully this will be by the end of the month, so I can get them done in time for Aprils colors!My mother-in-laws birthday is tomorrow, and since we will not see her for probably another couple of weeks, when we can

So we enjoyed a nice Easter weekend. It started Saturday afternoon with egg dyeing. Veronica did quite a few herself, but her brother did two and decided he was finished. My mom boiled 54 eggs-47 actually made it into their dye baths.The bunny himself hid roughly 40 eggs total-18 real eggs and the rest plastic, and there was only a few minor squabbles over who found what egg first. There is now

This week seems to have just flown by. I think a lot of it is due to the nice weather-everyone seems like they are in a good mood and it is just easier to do things. Even the mundane, like laundry. Maybe spring is finally on its way, or at least trying to get here.Not everything has been springing up daisies (or daffodils). This is how I found my glasses Monday afternoon. The guilty party-who

I am still battling the same ol' virus, and it never seems to fail at around 4:30 in the morning I have a coughing fit-so much so that I have been moving to the couch at that time so at least Adam can get some sleep. The weather around here doesn't help, as it is mild one day and snow flurries the next. Spring in Michigan sucks.That has not stopped me from getting some things done, as there are a

...or should I say I have been busy sewing. Lately I have been sitting at my sewing machine, sewing up all sorts of things. Well, that isn't really true-I have mostly been sewing up purses and bags. It struck me funny that the new Sew?I knit! project is a bag, because that is one of my favorite things to design and sew. It all started last week when my mom and my SIL asked me to sew them a couple

I have been in a mood lately. Years (and years) ago, I suffered a 'meltdown'. Not really a breakdown, but instead a very low point in my life that found me unable to cope with living. Back then, there were no commercials that pointed out my symptoms in black and white, no "who does depression hurt" promos-nothing of the sort. For over a year I just thought something was wrong with me, and I

This past week has not been fun. Last Thursday, I finished my skirt for Sew?I knit!, and also made a little knitting bag for myself, as well as one other little something that I will share later. Friday I did not do much crafting, as I had kindergarten screening for Scottie and had to bake cookies for Fun Night, and then go to Fun Night itself. Saturday was gorgeous-sunny and close to 70 degrees.

Sometimes I have to laugh at my own genius-seriously. When I was growing up, I always wanted to learn to sew. My paternal grandmother was an excellent sewer, but by the time I was really ready to learn in my teens, she was unable to manipulate a sewing machine due to her arthritis. As the years passed and she eventually was unable to do anything more than write her name with her right hand, I

....only because I promised....These past 16 days have gone by fast, and when I look at the completed sweater I realize just how many hours, how many precious hours, were spent knitting her up. I kind of wonder if because I finished did I challenge myself enough. Did I pick something that I knew I could finish, just so I could have the satisfaction? The honest answer? No. Many times I sat down to

There will be some pictures of SMJ this weekend, but for now all you get is a picture of her blocking -just to prove that I did indeed finish. I am really happy with the way she turned out, and the buttons and ribbon are perfect.Evidently Clyde thought I knit this for him, or maybe he was trying to help with the blocking process. Cats-you never can tell.After I finished with SMJ, I felt a little

Yep, that's right. Last night, while watching Sasha Cohen's fabulous performance in the short program, I cast off my SMJ. As I write, she is blocking on my bed in all her lacy glory. I am a little worried about the fit, just because I always do, and also due to the fact that I never knitted a lace garment before-just the standard scarves and wraps. After the block, I have to sew on her buttons

See that nifty little ticker up there? It is counting down the days until I *officially* become an aunt. My sister went to her first OB appointment today, and though the doctor is not 100% sure, she figures my sister is about 12 weeks. There will be an ultrasound at 9 weeks from today, but my sister did get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. She commented that although she knew she

The torch is burning, and as you can see by the picture, SMJ has been officially cast-on. All 252 stitches, long-tailed cast on. That, my friends, is the worst part for me. If I could pay my kids to cast on and off for me, I would surely do it. Yuck. Since I am trying my hardest to embody the spirit of a true Olympian, I sucked it up and cast on about 3:00pm yesterday afternoon. The official

Well, my sister has an appointment with her OBGYN next Thursday, and needless to say we are all looking forward to it. Because the pregnancy wasn't really planned, she does not know for sure when she became pregnant. Like my mother and I, her periods are all wonky and the last one she had in the beginning of December, but not very heavy. So we are anxious to see how far along she is and her due

Ok, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, but there have been a few 'surprises' of late that have really taken me away from my blogging, and even my knitting. First though, my dear Forecast is just too big. Somewhere along the way, my gauge got off....and needless to say when I tried it on half way thru it was gigantic (not good for a 'fitted' sweater). So I am putting that aside right

Ok, so here's the deal. I had a different post all set to go, but I can not get the camera to cooperate. I was beginning to get very frustrated, when my butt post was saved by Grace's Poppies, who had the fantastic idea of a Blogger (silent) Poetry Reading. After reading Steph's post, and because I love poetry so, thought I would throw one of my favorite poems onto the blog for all to enjoy. So

Lolly has cooked up a fantastic idea, one that is dear to my heart: color. Go on over and read all about it, and if you are game, sign on up! Myself, I am going to have to get organized (!) and think up some good projects. On the front burner, however, is my desire to learn how to quilt. Adam's grammy is an excellent quilter, making some jaw dropping and gorgeous quilts, always done by hand. My

Scottie is slowly getting a cold. I say slowly because a running nose started Monday, a cough was added Tuesday, and today there is lethargy and whining that invariably rears its ugly head. Yep-he is an unpleasant little lump on the couch, with red cheeks, glassy eyes, and running nose. Sigh...doncha' just love cold and flu season?

So I went to a new doctor last Thursday, and thankfully I was very impressed with her. I had been seeing my previous doc since she started in practice-about 13 years. She saw me get married, delivered my two children, became their doctor, and lots of other stuff, both good and bad. She is an excellent doctor, and as such is constantly overbooked. As much as it hurt to do, I had to switch doctors

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but in the blog world absence just makes people forget about you. So I thought I better jump back in and post something, lest my fifteen minutes of blogdom fame ends. To be honest, this is one of the hardest parts of the year for me, motivation wise. The hype of the holidays is over, and a new year is at hand. I am like a lot of you out there,

All the gifts are knitted, half of them wrapped. Our check book is cooling off, and the kids are bouncing off the walls. Christmas day must be very near. My wish for all of you this holiday season is that you are happy. Be it with family, friends, a furry pet or with anyone who brings happiness to your heart, just as long as you find yourself surrounded by joy. I know that I will be where love

I have been a shameful blogger, and for that I apologize. The last few weeks have just flown by. They have been full of all sorts of things, and it just seems that every time I went to sit down at the computer something else came up and I would tell myself that I would blog later, but then another day went by, then another-you get the picture. In fact, the computer hasn't even been turned on most

Just in time for the KAL update, I present three holiday gifties-and one is actually completed! Huzzah!!left to right: Letter Have It purse from "S-n-B Nation"; a simple scarf for my Grandpa Marty, done up in a pattern from one of my many stitch dictionaries; and last, a completed scarf and hat set for my sister-my own design.Yes folks, she has been knitting!!

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I feel I can start singing Christmas songs in earnest. The snow all melted here, and in fact was 60 degrees on Monday-which just happened to be Miss V's Christmas program. Slowly but surely, I am beginning to feel the spirit of the holidays. It is snowing again today, and my hands have been busy making gifts. I hauled out the sewing machine, and got the majority

There are so many things I am thankful for, I just don't even know where to begin. Health and family are big ones, my home, my beautiful children, my wonderful husband-just to name a few. I could go on and on-I am literally thankful for every little thing in my life. I own nothing fancy-from underwear to car-but it does not matter to me. My house is tiny, but full of love. I have family close

Sorry for the lack of posts lately-we have been very busy around here and some things have come up. Hopefully after the holiday Thursday things will resume to somewhat normal. Then the real craziness can begin-the Christmas Crunch. I am still reading all my favorite blogs, just not commenting much. Hope to 'talk' to you all real soon.:o)

...but sometimes you do get what you wish for. In my case, I am talking snow. People, it is snowing-a lot. Well, at least more than I thought it was going to. I know what I said yesterday, but after a couple of hours watching it fall today, I quickly changed my mind. All of a sudden I realized that if it is snowing, then the holidays must be coming (yipes-it is Thanksgiving in the states next

The Question When I turned 18, I decided to get a tattoo. This was roughly 14 years ago, and the question I am still sometimes asked to this day is why. As in "why did you get that?", or "why did you put it there?", or "why would you permanently mark your body?". I really don't know how to answer. To me it is really no big deal, just something I knew I wanted, went through a lot of temporary

I have just a couple minutes-today is one of those hectic days, and no matter how fast I think I am moving, it seems I am still two steps behind. I will blog about the ongoing "monkey-tote" saga soon, but for now there are just a few things I want to say.First, a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" to my little sister Courtney. She turns 28 today, which is really hard for me to wrap my mind around. My baby

I have been plugging away at the Monkey tote (I am now officially calling it a tote, because I don't think I am going to do the whole "backpack" thing-my sister is not a backpack kinda girl), working the gusset in simple garter. The whole gusset is supposed to be 441/2" long, but after about 10 inches I needed to add a new ball of blue. Only one problem-I couldn't find it. Not yet in a panic, I

As some of you may know, there is a blog project called Self Portrait Tuesday (click on the button in sidebar to be directed to the site). Lolly and several other knit bloggers participate, and I have found I really enjoy looking at their photos. Now, I hate having my picture taken. A hate that 'burns with the intensity of a thousand suns' hate. I don't know why, but I just do. My avoidance of

This weekend just flew by. The weather was crummy - rainy, cold and overcast. So we were all stuck in the house with each other, and many games of Yahtzee were played. We went out to the store on Saturday night, and upon coming out were immediately subjected to cold hard rain. The kids and I stayed in the store while, Adam, my husband, went to get the van. Despite his best heroic efforts, we were

TGIF?!? Holy moley-its Friday! I can hardly believe it, but I sure feel it. Since I really have not done much knitting in the last few days, I am going to kindly divert your attention to a meme the beautiful Lolly (seriously, have you seen this girl? Someday I hope to meet her in person!) openly tagged to anyone who was up for the challenge-so here goes: What is your all time favourite yarn to

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.- William Blake, 1799, The Letters One minute the trees are green, and before I know it they are the gorgeous hues of fall. Just as fast,

I am going to give the blog another try. My previous attempt sucked, to say the least. Since I have little patience when it comes to computers, hopefully this format will work better for me. We shall see.I knit, not as often as I like, but what knitter does? I prefer to look at the glass being half-full, or in other words the time I can not knit I am usually spending with my family. Doing laundry
