nothing much to say......

except.............
1. Gabby lost her ball under the shed, a story many of you have heard already this week but none-the-less was an event unto it's own this week. It resulted in us cancelling our oringal plans and loading Gabby into the car to go to the pet store for a brand new ball and a stop for a cheeseburger on the way home........I won't tell you about the phone call to Lillian and the embarrasment following that.
2. Quintus had a yearly check up today complete with shots and the news that he is now a Senior Dog.....He seems okay with it of course seeing as how he has been trying to climb on top of me all afternoon while I knit and surf the net.
3. My new sister-in-law, Margie, had a birthday this past week, of course I just started working on her present.......sorry :) It'll be there soon.......
4. Next week is the knitting retreat and I'm already trying to figure out what to bring and not over do it.....I think the fact that the suitcase is packed and ready to go is a good sign, the fact that I only packed yarn, books, and patterns not so good.....I'll have to do some rearranging so I can at least bring some clean underwear, and no, I'm not going to knit it...........that it would be a conversation starter is a given however once the wine gets flowing at these retreats the show-and-tell portion of the knit underwear could make some uncomfortable, especially if it's me modeling it........
On that note, in an effort to relieve you from the image of me in knit underwear please take a moment to enjoy a picture of a baby porcupine.....I know it's the most awesome thing ever.......until it pokes out your eye.

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...

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...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
