Mmmm K

As of late, I’ve found myself spending a lot of time on the computer for a number of reasons. Not one of those reasons has been to update my blog or read up on my favorites. Actually I’ve been spending a lot of time placing ads for a new babysitter and for finding homes for [...]

Cobblestone, finally

The Cobblestone sweater has been done for a week or so, but we didn’t take pictures until now. With the weather and it’s dramatic changes, yesterday seemed to be a perfect day to not only take pictures but wear the sweaters. In fact, I wore my Tilted Duster. Shawn wore his Cobblestone. Jem wore one [...]

Monkeyin’ Around

Just monkeyin’ around. Back to the daily grind. I have a long list of things to do. More or less they are things that need to be done rather than things that I want to be doing. I’d like to curl up in bed with a good book. Or relax on the couch with a [...]

And Then There Were Some

There was some sunshine. There was some traffic. There were some strawberries. Lots of strawberries. We made it down to the Oxnard Strawberry Festival on Saturday and had a blast.

Nuff Said

I don’t think this needs much explanation:

A Small Glance

I nearly didn’t make it to my quilting class yesterday, (the third and final), because our babysitter backed out an hour before class. But do you know how good a guy Shawn is? He rushed home to watch Scout so I could finish the class. He knew how much it meant to me and that [...]

What a Wonderful Day

More like weekend. It doesn’t happen too often that things run so smoothly. In fact, I can’t remember a time when we had such a pleasant weekend. All weekend.
I know I haven’t been posting much and I do apologize. My insomnia keeps me up late. In fact it’s 1:47 a.m. Monday morning. I have spent [...]

Something so simple, something so sweet

Not much to say. Some things are just so simple.

Shawn’s new and improved Cobblestone. Yarn is Mirasol Project Cotanani in a charcoal gray.
Other things are just so sweet.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream using the ice cream maker attachment that Shawn bought for me two birthdays ago. Very delish.

Yarn Sale

I’m doing a little yarn sale here at iKnit.iPurl. Whatever doesn’t sell on here by Wednesday I will put on eBay, so get some yarn while it’s hot. Just leave a comment or shoot me an email. I take PayPal or I will accept money orders/checks. I might even accept a trade. * smile * [...]
