Our weekend in pictures...

Friday evening started after an amazingly long, much need nap. D woke me just in time to get dressed and head to another Aquasox game. Unfortunately because of adverse weather prior to the game it was delayed and ultimately cancelled but they had fireworks and we had full beers so we stayed to enjoy both!

Saturday we headed to Lake Union and took our boat thru the 'cut' from Lake Union to Lake Washington and spent a long day on the water...the 'cut' goes right thru the University of Washington...the graffiti along the water is showing support for UW crew. I've spent most of my life near Lake Washington and this is the first time I've ever been on it or thru the cut. I loved it!
Lake Washington is pretty choppy to begin with on the weekends, but add to that young kids with boats, wind and intermittent rain showers it wasn't looking to be a nice day.
I had a run in with the outboard trying to reboard the boat after swimming...it wasn't running at the time of course but I have a glorious bruise where my leg hit it! We finally made our way to Kenmore and found the sun and smooth waters where we drifted and looked at lake houses...(they're really more mansion like)

Eventually we made our way back to Seattle, put the boat away for the night and I was able to snap the sunset reflecting off of downtown...

Sunday dawned rainy and put me in a fairly sour mood but the day got better and the Aquasox didn't rain out last night...they didn't win either, but it was still a nice night out at the ball park knitting a tiny cardigan for BW.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

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...

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
