Happy Halloween everyone!
Lastnight we had a chance to carve our pumpkins. (My mom has a little garden set up at a friends house and grew pumpkins this year, so lucky us – we have huge, and free, pumpkins to use.) Jem carved a spider in his pumpkin. (He ended up staying up til 10 p.m. [...]
So, remember how I told you that I really want a puppy. That I really wanted a friend. Remember? Well here he is:
I drove to San Pedro, (big like Will Smith said about Lompoc, “You don’t drove to San Pedro, You drive through San Pedro), last Friday. There was a litter of 7 German Shepherd [...]
I finally finished my sock pals socks for the Sock It To Me Sock Swap, (you know, the one I am hosting). Shaemful to be so late. But life, and nature, have been throwing some curve balls lately you know? Anyway, the fact is they are done and ready to ship. Now I just have [...]
So far we haven’t been evacuated. Three blocks north of us has been road blocked. Beyond the road block they have mandatory evacuations. Castaic isn’t doing better. Neither is Bouquet Canyon, (that’s were we went to the Pumpkin Festival last year, and where I hoped to take Scout). The winds are still high, approximately 50 [...]
Santa Clarita isn’t having much of a week I tell you. Last week it was the rain slickened roads that caused a massive big rig explosion in the Newhall Pass. This week it’s the Santa Ana winds, (which there have been reports of 100 mph winds at the beach), and the fires that can’t be [...]
What are the chances that I would knit a sock, on the same size needles, the same yarn, and the same pattern, and it still be too small? I had been working diligently on the second Monkey sock that I started well over a month ago, in Koigu. Last night I finished the heel, did [...]
Until I started working on the Secret of the Stole, I never used beads in my knitting. Albeit, the use of beads in this project is pretty minimal, I am glad that I tried the technique. (I had to buy three crochet hooks before finding the right size for these little seed beads.)
And I’m very [...]
I don’t know about you, but for me it seems like there is never enough time to do all the things I want to do or say the things I need to say. I attribute this part of my personality to being Bipolar. The first reason is because of the ups and downs/the highs and [...]
Yeah, yeah, I’m not so great doing play on words.
The fact of the matter in the past 5 days I finished the skirt of the Duster, knit and sewn on the two sleeves and, as of last night, the collar.
Here is the collar that I slaved over, (not really), last night til 1 a.m. As [...]
A week has been enough time to, (try to), take a break. Suffice to say, it wasn’t much of a break. Jem got himself in a bit of trouble, (I’m being nice here), and we are waiting for his punishment to be given, (we are talking possible expulsion). He’s also out of school this week [...]
