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...

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
