Things...

Mr. Brown hoping that I'll feed him two hours early instead of finishing the row I was knitting...
1. I'm still working on the first sleeve of Miss A's frock. Not a shocking declaration I suppose, seeing as how knitting sleeves is like a second form of torture for me... It follows closely behind filing. I hate filing with a passion that if harnessed with the right attitude could bring Peace and Love to the entire world.

2. I've probably mentioned this in the past but I'm a serious homebody. I love to just relax and be loungey at home with the dogs and husband. It conflicts with my need to socialize. This girl can only socialize so many days in a row before she gets cranky and just needs a evening at home... I think the max amount of nights in a row you can get me out is three before my less savory side comes out. D might argue that that number is actually less.

3. I learned something new on Valentine's day this year. Apparently the thing to do with your Valentine is go eat sushi, How did I learn this? D and I went out for sushi to our little quiet neighborhood Korean owned sushi joint. A place where we always sit at the bar and converse quite poorly with the Sam the Sushi Man. Not this time... we were relegated to a table far from the action and by the door... Why sushi anyway? Isn't the night supposed to end with kisses, cuddles and love and now you're tossing in that fresh just eaten toro (fatty tuna) breath.

4. If you aren't following the blog Witty in the City I suggest you start immediately. Not only is her dog Stella adorable the recipes she posts are simply amazing.  I recommend her Crispy Chicken with New Potatoes, One Pot Chicken and Rice, and Slathered Chicken Wings. However after browsing all the recipes on the site there isn't much there that I won't eat...

5. It may be 39 degrees and pelting rain outside but I just made my camping reservations for July. I already feel warmer just thinking about it...

6. As soon as I finish Miss A's frock I have a sweater to start for my sister-in-law that she picked out over Christmas (sorry) and for the first time in 5 years I'm going to knit something in pieces, not top down or seamless... I also have a plan to knit four bunnies for Easter to leave in Phoenix when all the kids are at my mom's place in Arizona... I think they'll be surprised.


Hope you're having a great Wednesday. I had Monday off so I'm all jacked up about what day it is... I'm sure I'll be back on track in time for the weekend.

Love that doggie face. Way, way too cute.

I have sleeve syndrome too, I swear it takes longer to knit a sleeve than a back or half a front.
I have tried all kinds of things. and it is still too long.

I didn't realize it was so cold and miserable there today. I will wish some sunshine your way.

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
