Chaos Part II

It's the final Friday before the big feed next week and I am frantically, franctically trying to tie up loose ends before wrapping myself in family, food, and yarn (not necessarily in that order)

It's like I'm waiting for the gunshot that signals 'GO!'

A gunshot would definitely get me going.

I'm taking all of next week off and I can't wait. I realized a couple days ago that the taking care of me part has fallen to the bottom of the turnip basket, underneath work, husband, dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs...

I need some time to rejuvenate and refocus on me.

I've put on about 10 pounds
I'm breaking out in weird spots on my face.
You could store potatoes in the bags under my eyes.

I need my mama :)

I always love making proclimations of getting healthy right before a day that's dedicated to feasting.
I think it makes all the delicious dishes taste even more delicious.

Turkey is turkey.
I love the side dishes and if you follow me on Pinterest you know what I'm going for this Thanksgiving...

Brussell Sprouts.

All the glorious ways of making them from breakfast to dinner to side salads and brussell sprout chips.

I finished new project using the Psychobarbie yarn... I'm teasing you with two photos now but will post more about it later once I've washed it and loosened it up to slouch a bit more...


I'll say this,

I love this yarn color.

Happy Weekend!! I'll check in next week!!

I love the color! and the pattern. Good Job. Yes, you need to take care of you first sometimes. It is easy to not do that. When I worked I took off the day before Turkey day and the day after. The group I worked with worked on that Fri. Sat. and Sun. that week. I would get everybody primed and assigned and be gone, and still get a phone call or two. But oh the gloriousness of having the time. But the whole week would be a luxury. My daughter a school teacher gets the whole week and she loves every minute of it. So enjoy and do something for yourself.

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...
