the past few days........


I have been busy and not in the knitterly world of busy that I should have been........Friday felt like the worst day of my cold so I can home, sat in the sun and knit on my little red hat that I am making to wear at the race track. The dogs harassed me and I have the wounds to prove it. Dale and I went out for Sushi which is always delicious then we hooked up with his brothers family for ice cream after running to the home improvement box store to buy some of the supplies required for my Garbage Can Potato Garden.
This is very exciting and you can find out about it here.

Saturday came early and bright, ran errands in the morning, hit the local garden center for potato starts, then home to plant my flower boxes, and then D and I did the first step of the potatoes......the rest of the weekend is a blur which goes like this......

T-ball game to watch my 4 year old nephew play, if you've never caught a 4 year old t-ball game I highly recommend it for the comic genius that it is.




Following that was dinner with my brother-in-laws family and my in-laws.
Monkey (my nephew) decided to ride with us and I learned a great deal of information about Ninjas followed by a heavy sigh of disappointment upon discover that we do not have an in-car entertainment center. We borrowed my BIL's pressure washer and the whole family watched while D and his brother pressure washed the moss covered patio......next Sunday we get to do the deck.....Sunday being Easter we drove down to see my dad and how his knee was doing, which is great, PT did a number on him, not great, then we came home, took care of the dogs, then up to the MIL's for ham dinner.......and where Monkey received his 3rd Easter basket and where I promptley stole one of his Cadbury Creme Eggs.......I love them and I am not ashamed that I stole one, only one from Monkey, he'll never miss it.

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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
