it's getting to me...

Knitting baby blankets...
and more baby blankets
and more, more, more.

don't get me wrong, I love knowing that my friends and family have warm blankets to wrap their new bundles of love in, and I love seeing photos of the babies with their blankets.

But...

I should make that bigger because it's a big one

BUT...

I need a little something more....
A wee bit
Of instant gratification and some more time to finish a couple things.

So I bring my Ivy Trellis sock to work to knit on
and last night I cast on a fingering weight baby sweater for my new hockey buddy Beans.


Beans and I at dinner the other night getting our pre-game funk on... well I was getting my funk on she was just watching me... skeptically


I chose the colors on the Silvertips team jersey's.
I even contacted Robin at Buttons by Robin on Etsy to create some very special buttons for it.

You know what's funny?
I said 'Instant Gratification' and 'fingering weight' in the same post.
It's like an oxymoron :)

Or I'm a moron for thinking that anything fingering weight euqals instant gratification at the very least.

It's going to be adorable on her, plus I heard that the team store has finally gotten in some baby onesies so she'll have a complete outfit...

Beans loves hockey.
She loves to watch the boys skate.
I like to watch the boys skate.
I can't skate so I find it fascinating when they jump in the air.
Beans finds the fast movement fascinating.
Maybe she finds me fascinating?

Busy day/night today
Follow up for Mr. Brown (I failed to mention he had a corneal ulcer and has been getting drops at ridiculous times of day, plus another ear infection so he's deaf again while the medical tar absorbs) So, follow up for him today.
Bowling League tonight
followed by
Hockey Night!

Talk to you tomorrow before we head out to Sausage Fest in Everett!

Sausage Fest, sounds glorious. I've never been to one...
Don't worry, I'm making tons of dirty jokes in my head and cracking myself up!

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...

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

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...
