A Decade...


10/6 will mark a decade married to D.

As a preamble to our anniversary I like to find out what the 'traditional' and 'modern' gifts are for each year we are married.

This year the 'Traditional' is Tin or Aluminum
The 'Modern' is Diamonds

D said, looks like you're getting a case of beer and a disposable turkey pan.
Wrong!
My friend states that Tin and Aluminum mean a trip on an airplane. I liked her answer better.

After work yesterday I had an appointment with the oral surgeon to discuss the implant to replace the broken tooth they took out back in May.
Looks like there will be some bone grafting in addition to screwing the titanium implant into my jaw.

FYI if you aren't aware, oral surgery isn't covered under your medical insurance it's covered under your dental. My dental coverage for these types of procedures is less than savory so my out of pocket for this procedure will be $3824.00. Due the morning I check in.


I emailed D this morning and said: 'looks like I'm getting titanium for our anniversary this year'

Hey, at least it's not an Aluminum roasting pan from the grocery store!

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?
