Ready for the blizzard
Oh Portland, Silly Portland. Why must you freak out over a little snow? We are supposed to be socked in with snow today. It is early, granted, but all I see so far is slush and lots of rain. Phooey. In any case, I am prepared with my recently finished hat/mitten combo. I knit them for running [...]
Around here, birthdays last all year long
We are perfect examples of how to be simultaneously very cool and lame. The cool part – in an effort to stem the flow of, well, junk, into the house at birthday and holiday time, we are trying to give experiences instead of stuff. Pumpkin would love nothing better than to be buried up to [...]
things that get in the way of knitting
Vacations Gardens Shopping and Walter No, he was not named after the farting dog. We hit the jackpot at the Oregon Humane Society and we have all fallen head over heels for the newest member of our family. He is supposedly a 2 year old Shih-Tzu, but is a bit large for a Shih-Tzu. He [...]
Hey – I’m here! :wave:
I attended the Knit-out and Crochet 2009 at the Tigard Public Library yesterday, and much fun was had by all. I sat with a group who needed no help, really, and we knitted and chatted the afternoon away quite happily. I passed around my blog card, all the while apologizing in advance for my lack [...]

Hopefully, these videos will be free of the previous technical difficulties. LM and I attended a marimba workshop at our church on Saturday, culminating in performances during worship on Sunday. Yay! I tried something new! And it was FUN! For your viewing pleasure….
not dead yet
…I don’t want to get on the cart with the blog….there are still signs of life! Just when life seemed to be under control and moving along at a nice clip, I decided to go back to school, continuing my annoying personal habit of NOT BEING HAPPY WITH THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. Lucky for [...]

New socks
These are knit from a skein my son bought for me as a Christmas gift two years ago. It’s a basic sock recipe and it was nice to make something that I didn’t have to rip back for a change. Let’s hope that this trend continues.
What a nice surprise!
I’ve been nominated for the Kreativ Blogger Award by PDXKnitterati, a local blogger who is a knitter extraordinaire with fabulous knitted objects and patterns everyone should go check out. She and I chat back and forth via our blogs and I have to say she is one of the nicest people I’ve never met. That’s [...]
