secret knitting and the busiest spring ever...

I have a finished object to share with you but I can't, because it's a gift and it won't be gifted till next Saturday. It's the most adorable thing. It's simple. It's soft. It's so cute I can't stand it!

Here's a tease...


Spring is in full swing here in Seattle and May is already chock-a-block full of activity.
This week we have three birthday's in the family. My father, our niece who is turning I believe 24, and D has a birthday! We are celebrating Friday with a family style BBQ, Saturday I have a work conference that goes all. day. long.

There's a baby shower.

There is this girls birthday (me) followed by oral surgery #1. Not the best birthday gift but it's not the first time I've sailed thru my birthday on pain killers. I believe my 30th birthday fell the same week I had surgery on my sinuses...

The week AFTER THAT my best friend from the MN is coming for a visit with her son Z and we will have a whirlwind tour of Seattle and greater parts of Puget Sound, including a spin on the Seattle Great Wheel!

Plus we're well booked into the summer with events! Prairie Home Companion Live, a little Minnesota for me! Paul McCartney, a Jazz Festival, and Harry Connick Jr. A sailing trip, camping with friends, and filling the rest of that time with boating, car racing, and training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day in September!

Phew!

Do you have any idea how much knitting I'll get done at the concerts and the sailing trip? Tons I tell ya, TONS!

Silly girl, sounds like you will be a whirlwind. And it really sounds exciting (except for the oral surgery)and a good time.
I know you will make me jealous when you go to Banks.
We will be up your way next week, hopefully bringing good weather. Doing a babysitting stint for grand baby girl.

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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
