Sometimes I’m more productive when I have more demands on my time.  This forces me to be focused, tasky, efficient.  But, right now is not one of those times.  Being done with school means I can just come home and knit and watch all the sweeps television (two words: Grey’s Anatomy, craziness).  I’m busy at … Continue reading →

After the party it’s the afterparty…After the festival it’s the afterfestival, and festive it was.  We had a little gathering at our place the evening after sheep & wool, comlplete with pizza, drinks in fun pink glasses, and other assorted entertainment.  I was so busy having fun that I forgot to take pictures, so I … Continue reading →

Oh how I loved Maryland.  Many of my friends have already told you all about it, so I’ll just expand & tell a bit of my story.  I met up with Kate in the airport baggage claim.  I saw a girl across the room that I thought was her and that girl picked up her … Continue reading →

Today I defended my thesis.  Never again will I utter the words, "I can’t because I have to work on my thesis."  You know what this means…more time for knitting!  Oh, and maybe I’ll actually get around to blogging about MD Sheep and Wool.  Continue reading →

So I’m off to Maryland Sheep and Wool this weekend for my second year.  Last year, I was really nervous.  I had plans to stay with someone that I had emailed for a while, but never met.  She was picking me up from the airport.  Eek!  What if she was weird?  What if she thought … Continue reading →

Okay, I’ve been awake, but the blog has been sleeping for a bit.  While the blog has been napping, lots of things have happened!  We finished the whole MS150, for the second time, but faster this year!  Look how fresh we look before day one and how wiped we look at the end of day … Continue reading →

I haven’t been blogging because I just haven’t had the energy for it.  That sounds silly, I know, but I have a ton of things to tell you, but too many other things cluttering my brain and consuming my energy.  I am nearing the end of my thesis, so I have been spending a great … Continue reading →

Anne Marie!!! To keep it fair, I used a Random Number Generator to give me a number and I counted through the comments until I got to that number.  Fun times, and much easier than names in a hat.  Well, this weekend is a big work weekend, so I don’t have anything else exciting to … Continue reading →

Meet the Twisted ‘Biscus, named by the husband and I for it’s twisted trunk and, of course, hibiscus flowers.  We are not stellar at growing things, but we are really giving it a go this year.  Last weekend we planted two of these plants, one on each side of the garage.  So far so good, … Continue reading →

I can’t remember ever hosting a contest around here before, but I enjoy participating in them on other sites.  I have discovered that I need your help, so I thought I would present my question, gather your responses and give a prize to one of the respondents chosen at random.  What’s the prize?  Ten skeins … Continue reading →
