I had SO much fun at Rhinebeck, but I didn’t get to go home at the end of the weekend, I went out of town for work instead.  I would be able to give you the Rhinebeck re-cap had I brought my camera cord with me, but alas, I did not.  So, the re-cap will … Continue reading →

So my flight leaves before the crack of dawn tomorrow morning and I’m trying to figure out what I need to bring.  I am bummed because I didn’t get my Rhinebeck Blogger Button in the mail!  It wason the north side of town on the 16th!  You would think it would have made it here … Continue reading →

Wait, you didn’t know I was going to Rhinebeck?  I realized today that I think I managed to leave that little fact off of the blog.  I’m SO excited, I just haven’t really had time to be excited for long with busy times here.  I bet you didn’t know I had a sweater on the … Continue reading →

Scrolling through the ole’ bloglines the other day, I popped in on Carole and found yet another knitalong.  Only this one reeled me in right away.  It is called Lonesome Skein and its goal is to help you use up those lonesome skeins that are sitting around your yarn closet or craft room.  I figured … Continue reading →

It is safe to say that it’s been a crazy month.  Since arriving back from the cruise, I spent a week cutting my thesis down from 100 to 25 pages for a conference submission, spent a week in Dallas for work and spent much of this week planning transportation and driving to and from my … Continue reading →

Okay, not exactly.  But, do forgive my absence (and this blurry photo).  Jason and I escaped last week on a cruise, with no email and no cell phones.  It was a much needed break from a hectic summer.  More soon, once I recover, including a cruise and birthday recap! Continue reading →

Happy birthday to me!  I actually made this for my friend’s birthday a little while back but I forgot to post about it.  🙂  We enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Fredericksburg with friends and in celebration of my birthday.  Here’s our weekend in pictures… There are a bunch of bats in that old railroad tunnel … Continue reading →
