Over the Weekend...

I was in Minneapolis over the weekend for Bumps baptism. I am his Godmother and Margie's brother Will is Godfather.
Needless to say I got oodles of cuddle time with the little guy and he's just as sweet as can be.
Little Miss A is also the most adorable cuddly thing as well.
My family makes beautiful babies.
Bird and Bear were at the top of their game when I saw them last Friday.
Apparently there was a conversation about how I was adopted in the family. Bird took that to mean I came from the orphanage and wanted to know what it was like...
I'm going to put that right next to the entry in my journal where 2 years ago he asked if I was a beaver because my teeth were kind of big in my head.
Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff?

The only thing Minnesota was missing was snow.
They had none.

My best friend Megan joined all of us for dinner Monday night and it was so good to see her. Sadly Miss E had an upper respiratory infection so she stayed home with her daddy and big brother Z.

D and I arrived home yesterday afternoon to a land covered in snow.
6" at our house alone.
More is coming down now.

I couldn't help turning on the Christmas lights on the deck with the snow covering them. Their bright glow in the dark quiet landscape is making me all twittery and happy!

Sounds like a good day to stay safe and sound at home.
Snow Day = Knitting day by the fire
with a little laundry thrown in for good measure.
It's possible that I'll take the Christmas Tree down today as well...maybe
Bump 

I did knit a sweater for Bump in about three hours and thanks to mom's steamer and endless button supply we were able to block and button it up...Those pictures are on my phone and I just need to find my photo downloader thingamajig and I'll post it as a FO. 

Stay warm everyone. 
I'm going to crack off my second Eternity Scarf by Michelle Wang and wear it as I stroll thru this winter wonderland...

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. ...
