I’m very sad as I look through the vast array of what other people have been able to complete this year. I know I’m a slow knitter, exemplified by the 4 days it took to complete my last FO of the year, my Red Scarf Project. It’s made out of 2 skeins of Filatura di […]

Great news! In my vast yarn closet (do you think DL will need his closet anytime before high school? ) I found another ball of the Filatura di Crosa 127 Print I’m using for my red scarf! I know I’m a slow knitter, but I’m just about done with the first one and […]

I’m finally getting my act together! It’s almost January, time to send your red scarf to the Red Scarf Project, so I figured it was about time to start one! And we all know I have no red yarn, right?
This is double moss stitch using my Red Heart Kids needles I bought for […]

Merry Christmas!!!
We had a nice day, with a brunch at my MIL’s house for our family, she and her husband and my parents. We’ve never had Christmas together in the 12 years I’ve known BR!
The kids went a little crazy, getting up at 4:30 a.m. and then being cranky all day, but Santa was good […]

Happy Holidays!!!
BR’s family celebrates on Christmas Eve, so we had our celebration (most of it) tonight. BR made a delicious Mediterranean themed meal and the kids went on a present opening frenzy!
We spent the day looking for a larger, better fake tree, and I didn’t find one I liked. Then we looked […]

My parents are visiting from Maryland and we’re doing our first all-grandparent holiday tomorrow, which should be interesting. When my kids were born I decided we would have Christmas at our house so my MIL always comes here, but now my parents are here too so it is kind of strange. Today I got […]

So, you might know that I signed up for the Punk Rock Gift Exchange and received two gorgeous and decadent packages. Well, at some point (I’m not even sure if it’s over or not, frankly), we were supposed to confide to our pals who we were. My lovely pal was the newly married […]

We’re still busy! The kids and I whipped up some Christmas cookies yesterday:
And I have been doing some knitting, in between spring (winter) cleaning and beading:
I haven’t done much with my red sweater, but maybe I’ll get it done before spring; I have been carrying my legwarmers around with me, and have gone through one […]

I’ve been so busy lately!
I defended my exam last week and I passed! As of December I am not only a M.L.S. (Masters of Library Science) but a M.A. in Radio and Television! They suggested I do more research in Uses and Gratifications theory (who knew one of my committee members focused on this in […]
