Ooops My Martha is Showing.....

As in Martha Stewart Homemaker Extraordinairre......Actually as much as a homebody as I am I rarely bake from scratch (if I bake at all) I pull off maybe one or two fancy feasts per year.....Key words here 'pull off' and 'one or two' out of like 50 that I try per year.....
Saturday is RaceDay in our household which means waking up early (for me thanks to Quintus and Gabby) Start baking the muffin loaf, side note here: if you make packaged muffin mix and painstakingly measure it into each little cup, spilling over the muffin pan creating hard little nuggets that you have to chisel off when it's done baking stop right now, crank that oven to 350, grease a loaf pan and dump that mix right in there and bake it for 48 minutes. Trust me, it's way better than silly little muffins. WAAY BETTER. The recipe for it is on the back of my box of muffin mix......Today along with muffin mix I am making No-Bake Cookies. All Recipes dot Com has a wonderful recipe for this, followed by spaghetti with meat sauce.....There are a lot of us who talk during the week to plan this all out and I enjoy it. Meanwhile during this time, we do get up and do our power 90 workout, I do cook breakfast thanks to my handy dandy omlette pan given to me by my mother in law. D loads the race trailer I pack up the food, pack my knitting (i don't know about you but I can't spend 10 hours at a race track without my knitting in the vicinity). Today I'm tempted to toss the coffee pot into the bag to take out there. It's nasty, it's raining, and it has high potential to be cold later. So we are off to the races, I'm bringing a few finished objects so I can use the hood of the car as a backdrop but that will also depend on the weater................ooh there goes the buzzer!! Muffin Loaf. Try it. You'll love it!
Happy Saturday All

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. ...
