new toy...

my old lap top is getting sad in it's old weary ways.
it's heavy and clunky and it doesn't have a ten-key on it... which it turns out for my job when I work away from the office is a big deal.

the four gallons of mai tai's it consumed at Christmas didn't help matters either... it still worked though. although she doesn't relay sound as well as she used to.

so tonight off we went in search of a new one. i'm typing to you on it now.
i have no pictures on it yet. no music. nothing. but it's beautiful. it has a webcam. it's quiet. and it fits in most of my purses...

i'm super excited for the webcam because that means i can Skype with the nephews and niece back home! I've never done that before.

anyhoo, i'm pretty excited about this, not excited about a new operating system but it's not that bad. just have to learn something new.

good night everyone...
talk to you over the weekend! where we'll be attending the horse races, flash dance with friends and possibly some boxer dog snuggle time! hey, maybe I'll even finish my Multnomah. wouldn't that be something!

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
