Oh yeah...

I knit this sweater about 2 years ago.
Then I packed on some weight and the sweater got put away, which was sad on many levels that we don't need to get into right now...

This morning I was lying in bed between attacks of my alarm clock trying to think of what to wear to work. I could hear the rain, so I knew a sweater would be required...

Remember I said I was getting my health on recently? Well fast forward to today...

I've lost about 15 pounds so far since January so I thought maybe I would try my Idlewood sweater on with my jeans and a long sleeve white shirt...as you see pictured.

Well as you can see it fits, it fits better than when I made it!

But that's not the best feeling...
Oh no...
There is a better one...

The jeans I grabbed OUT of the dryer this morning and slipped on like nobodies business were not the ones I planned on wearing.

I thought I had grabbed my skinny jeans with a touch of Lycra in them...

It was not the skinny jeans!

It was when I looked down and realized they weren't my skinny jeans that I thought I had grabbed that I practically floated out of the bathroom! Two weeks ago these non-Lycra having no stretch out of the dryer jeans were still snug enough that if I sat in them blood was cut off from the extremeties!


I believe that every day is glorious

But Today is super glorious!

Happy Friday!

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...

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...

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
