The Blog...

I just realized it's been since February 13th since I've posted.
Crazy.
I know I've been busy.
I also know that I have felt like I don't have much to say, or maybe I'm saying it somewhere else and by the time I get here I'm at a loss.

Well, lets see where this takes me...

I just spent a glorious week with my younger brothers family.
Family I see maybe once or twice a year. So it really sucks when the visits are over.
They left today and it makes me sad to say goodbye.
I loved every minute I had with Bump and Baby G.
We all met up in Florida at mom's winter house and had a blast.
We spent the day at the beach
We played in mom's pool
We went to the zoo and fed the giraffes.
Covered a lot of territory in 3 days.
D and I fly home tomorrow.

Mom caught a bit of a virus so she's laying low,
D is driving my stepfather to pick something up so I sit here alone.
Sad that my nephews are on their way home and not riding up and down granny's elevator with me,
it's possible that i've poured myself a large & fabulous glass of white wine from mom's wine fridge... Day drinking is what makes vacations feel real. :)

I have a lot of knits to catch you up on and I think I'll do that tomorrow between here and Seattle... We have a lengthy layover in Houston so I know I'll have some time...

I"m going to go pour myself some more wine and soak up some sun before heading back to reality...

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?
