I pulled it off!  The husband had no idea that we were going on a little adventure when we left church last Sunday.  I gave him a card that explained there was a surprise and he thought we were going out to eat somewhere.  Little did he know the trip that was before us.  He … Continue reading →

Well, I survived this week and hopefully the next will be much better because we’re on Vacation!  Today we will get in the car and drive to Fredericksburg, TX,  home of cute little shops, a bat cave, bed and breakfasts, biergartens and vineyards.  The catch is, the husband is unaware that this trip is occurring.  … Continue reading →

Okay, so it’s not quite that bad, but I have had a really junky week.  It all started with the fact that my Dad and Step-Mom came to visit last weekend.  That wouldn’t be a bad thing, except Jason had a really bad flu that pretty much kept him in bed all weekend, leaving me … Continue reading →

I wish I could express to you just how long it is taking me to knit the miles of edging for my mom’s afghan.  I’m almost finished with the third side, which means I’m about 3/4 of the way there! Please disregard the slightly yellow portion in the top left.  There’s a slight dyelot issue … Continue reading →

Yesterday, I had a really bad hair day.  It looked bad so I decided to pull it back and couldn’t even get that to work right.  So, I made an appointment first thing to get my haircut.  The front view pictures didn’t turn out right, but here’s a view from the side. Another new acquisition … Continue reading →

Seriously, could someone tell me where today went because it flew by so fast that I missed it!  I have been in meetings all day without a moment to spare so I’m exhausted and ready for tommorow to be Friday.  It’s nice in some ways, though, because it makes the weekend get here faster when … Continue reading →

As I mentioned, ye ole’ yarn closet was cleaned out last week, both in anticipation of my mom’s visit and out of frustration because it was so disorganized! The books were throwing themselves off the shelves, the yarn was all mixed up and I couldn’t find half of my needles. Here’s the before… And, thanks … Continue reading →

This is one of those weeks where I don’t know if I’m coming or going!  I went out of town for work, got back and then this afternoon I pick up my mom from the airport and tommorow we go out of town for a wedding.  It’s crazy!  I have gotten some knitting related tasks … Continue reading →

I’m out of town on business this week but I brought along my trusty laptop and camera so I could show you a couple of weekend acquisitions.  First of all, this is what I made this weekend. I apologize that it’s not knitting, but I embroidered this apron!  I know these pics aren’t the greatest, … Continue reading →

Friday put Thursday’s events into perspective.  Friday, I discovered that the world had lost a dear young man and I had lost a friend.  I received a call that my friend from the time I worked at my alma mater had been in a head-on collision and died instantly.  D.J. was one of those people … Continue reading →
