Categories

My life seems to be divided into so many different categories nowadays. With Scout around, my day is even more divided. I’m balancing the cooking, cleaning, parenting, relationships and self-care, (even my blogging), into two hour increments. It’s hard but worth it.

Especially when I see this:

That’s right folks, I finished the back for [...]

rainy days and the rowan flood

California was in a “State of Emergency” a few days ago. Today we are having “Fire Watch 2007″. What wacky weather? (Try saying that 5 times fast!) Anyway, I was quite happy with the rainy weather that we had. For some reason when it rains here in Canyon Country, it passes by at night. By [...]

Our First Day Alone

Today was our first day alone. Just me and Scout. Since she was born, Shawn was home for about 10 days. Jem has been home the whole time due to winter break, (they get an extra week in this school district). So today was Day 1. And it’s been great. I should add that I [...]

Today was a G.O.O.D Day

Yup. It was good. Today was good.

Scout is a wonderful sleeper, let me tell you! (I know that I’m probably jinxing myself right now, but that’s ok.) Last night she ate around 11:00 p.m. Shawn said it would be “great” if she slept a good 6 hours, (he has work at 5:00 a.m., [...]

New Knitting

Remember this?
It’s from the Rowan Plaid Collection. The pattern is called “Flood” and is designed by Kim Hargreaves. The yarn has been sitting in my closet, collecting time (not dust), waiting to be swatched. Waiting to be knit into big chunky stitches. 3 sts=1″ on US 11’s. A big, chunky, knit. Shouldn’t take too much [...]

Almost, But Not Quite

So the body of the blanket is finished. Now I just need to do a little edging. Yeah, “little” doesn’t really explain it, but if I think “little”, maybe it will take a shorter time to actually do. (Wishful thinking, I know.)
I’m on a roll though!

I’m one BAD girl!

For no other reason except that today is only January 6th of the New Year and I had to buy some yarn. No, I don’t have a pattern in mind. Heck! I don’t even have a project in mind. I’m so far from even thinking of new patterns and projects. But, again, I had to [...]

That’s Weird

I apologize in advance that I wasn’t able to do the meme that Tiennie tagged me with a few posts back. I’ve just been so busy.

So here it is (and I should warn you now, they aren’t really “weird”):

“THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the “6 weird things about you.” People [...]

And Then There Were None

Oh how I wish I could have no WIP’s, but what kind of a Knitter would I be without something on the needles. (Or more.) Unlike some Knitter’s I know, (and you know who you are), I am not trying to get all of my knitting out of the way and start fresh for 2007! [...]
