Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's home number.......
VoiceMail: Hello you've reached Patricia........*hang up*
Me: Crap
Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's cell which is a bit like playing roullette, I should get 100 bucks if she answers...
Cell Phone: The person you are attempting to reach is.....*hang up*
Me: Crap, well I probably said something more colorful than crap but we'll go wtih that for now....while I try the cell phone again......
Ring Ring Ring
Me: (before the phone is answered): Come on, Answer the %$&#ing Phone
Mom: Hello
Me: Hey Mom, are you at the aiport
Mom: Yeah.....
Me: did you remember your passport?
Mom: Why?
Me: so we can get into Canada?
Mom: Crap
Me (silently to myself): #$@! I have non-changeable tickets......

It's like Paris all over again............
Thankfully my brother is currently overnighting the passport and I was able to change the departure to later in the day.
So we will make it to Canada, thank goodness D is coming up on Sunday, there is no telling if we would make it back......

FYI for those of you traveling from the U.S. to Canada a U.S. Passport is required to cross the border.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
