That’s right folks, Central Park Hoodie is D.O.N.E. Done. Fin.
I reworked the ribbing and ended up picking up 164 stitches. It worked out well though I’ve decided I will more than likely add buttons. My first one has no buttons, but this one is calling out for some cute wooden toggles.
After adjusting the ribbing the [...]
Somehow I’ve overextended myself, in more ways than one. I have binding to make and to attach. I have recipes to collect and organize. I have 4 custom Etsy orders for a quilt, a scrapbook, a Pearl Buck Swing Jacket, and a Siamese Knit Kitten. I have Christmas presents to start for the family. I [...]
I don’t think I’ve ever really mentioned my unhealthy obsession with Marilyn Monroe, but I have one. A huge obsession. I’ve read nearly every biography about her, from Barbara Leaming to Berniece Baker Miracle, (Marilyn’s half sister), to the biography that Marilyn put together herself. I’ve even gone so far as reading Joyce Carol Oates’ [...]
Amidst the summer heat we’ve been spending a little more time at the pool the past week or so. We’ve been lucky that we don’t have to share the pool with anyone else at the moment. (Schools out here start mid August so the kids aren’t traipsing around the spa and getting in the way [...]
I decided to try and tackle some of the things on my “to do” list. It seems if I let things go for a couple of days week I get really backed up. While I feel better from the surgery I still feel fatigued. But I made a little bit of headway last night and [...]
I had a craving for cinnamon rolls this morning. Homemade cinnamon rolls. I’ll have to thank Pat and Gina Neely for their recipe.
I guess I’ve been on a cooking/baking kick lately. I’m diligently trying to make our family more healthy with fruits and veggies. More homemade foods rather than processed box foods and frozen foods packed with bad calories and sodium. I’m happy to say that I’ve seen a big difference. Shawn has given up drinking sodas [...]
With the summer season comes a variety of delicious summer fruits. I love nectarines, grapes, watermelon, and most of all: strawberries. Strawberry ice cream, jam, shortcake, lemonade… You name it, we’ve been making it over the summer months.
Last night I decided to try out a new strawberry recipe which proved to be both simple and [...]
I don’t wear hats. Ever. I don’t look very good in them. But I do love them. And knitting them is fun as well. They are fairly easy and quick to knit. I’ve made a few hats for Etsy custom orders and I just finished up the most recent one. Jem did some modeling for [...]
Sunday we drove to Point Dume, (in Malibu), and had a nice afternoon eating turkey sandwiches, crispy Pringles and juicy grapes and nectarines.
We took in the ocean misting against our faces. We lathered sunscreen onto the baby and still managed to miss those thin little creases in the back of her knees and neck. And [...]
