Feast Week

It's upon us... There is no doubt.
People are packing into Costco like its a grand opening
The grocery stores are filled with people I am convinced are there for the firs time.
I was described by my mom and D as a woman in a mission today as they saw me streak thru the store gathering stuff for the feast I'm about to foist upon them!

I'm going to make a pie for thanksgiving and G's eyes lit up Tim I told him that he needs to lower his expectations, they're high for good reason, he's had pies made by my brother, I had to to tell him that I've never actually made a pie, unless you count the cool whip jello thing I made a couple summers ago and a few pudding pies.

Those don't really count except they are delicious!

Tomorrow mom and I are off to shop, explore, and wander about and hopefully locate the yarn shop down here... I hope its a good one.

I have a bunch of finished stuff I need to photograph and I'm going to do it here at moms and then post it all on the blog for y'all... Hopefully by the time I'm done I'll remember what the project details were all about!

Happy Sunday night!
I'm working out a thanksgiving post in my nugget but I haven't settled on an approach yet.

It will definitely have to be a two parter because you'll have to see my pie baking attempt in photos, including the shaving of chocolate...

Xoxo peeps!

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...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
