May Day

Or mayday as the case may be. I'm actually very glad it's May. Normally it's the month of February that is the short and painful bane of my existence, but this year April was not so good. Stitches was awesome, but my running was off, and my entire family has been butting heads for what ...

2011 Stitches South

We had entirely too much fun! Did I meet you there? Make sure to friend me on Ravelry or Twitter or leave a comment. I'm picnicknits pretty much everywhere. I did not take enough pictures however. That might be because I forgot my camera. Yeah. But hey, let's tell a mini story in pictures anyhow. Door ...

I’m ready! I’m ready!

Yes, I'm channeling Sponge Bob. Very sad. But I am ready for Stitches South. Well except for the packing and the um, driving, and um, all of that. But I have a lovely drink mix for me and my girlies. And I bought a ...

Sunny Saturday

On this very sunny Saturday I've run 2.25 miles. I've sat by an open window feeling the breeze as I knit. I've supervised catch-up work for my son who missed a week of school. Later I'm taking my son to a sleepover birthday party. My other son is camping with the Boy Scouts. So tonight, ...

Sweetheart Sale

I know, I know, I've been missing in action. Today I'm spending Valentine's Day with my one of my three favorite people in the entire world - my youngest son. But sadly, it's because he's sick. So for today we will have a little 50% off sale on pattern with hearts... The Pink ...

Annuals

Somethings need to be done every year. This year I'm getting them all out of the way in January. Partly to have them done, but mostly because we still have FSA money leftover from last year. And if you don't spend it, it all goes away. So spend I will, and I get to do ...
