SNOW DAY!

We've had more like SNOW DAYS! 

Monday though was the day I stayed home because of the snow. 

 


We knit finished my Twistmas Hat for my January KAL and I attached the most beautiful pompom. 



We snuggled on the couch. 


this is Theo's 'rub my belly' move

We made homemade tomato soup. 

We made a really sad loaf of bread that still tastes good just looks ridiculous. 

We played in the snow! Theo enjoys eating it. Phoebe enjoys racing around like a demon in it. 


We watched the West Wing on Netflix. 
I really like watching the West Wing when it's an election year. 
The show really breaks down how the government processes work. 
Whatever party you swing towards I highly recommend binging all 6 seasons. 

Then Dale came home. :) 

Tuesday was snowy but my roads to and from work were great. 

Wednesday coming to work was great. 
Coming home was a nightmare. 
Literally was like driving into a blizzard. 
The streets of Mukilteo were snow covered ice rinks. 
When I got to the bottom of my little hill ready to make the turn into my cul-de-sac I tapped the brakes and slid right past. 


Luckily I didn't slide too far and was able to reverse and turn in nice and slow. 

knocked back an adult size glass of wine and carried on with our evening. 

Hope every one is staying warm and dry and happy.

Knitting and snuggling their pets.

What is it about a good snow day that makes you want to cook all the homey carb loaded things?

Hibernation?
Do you think the cave people hibernated and we've evolved out of it?
I wouldn't mind campaigning to bring that back...

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?
