So, we have another hurricane heading this way, only this time it really seems like it might head THIS way.  Not like the others this season that have been super hyped.  We're probably not going to evacuate, but the kid and I are planning to go to a friends house because the husband will be … Continue reading →

Ever feel like life is living you instead of the other way around?  That's kind of how I've been feeling lately.  Things aren't bad, we've just had some growing pains with the kid (he wants to talk but can't, leading to great frustration) and busy times at work (for both of us) leaving me little … Continue reading →

In response to Betsy's comments (and comments that we get every day) and because I've been enjoying the flashback posts of others, I thought I would show you where the kid's blonde hair came from.  I was just going to send these to Betsy, but I thought others of you may enjoy it, too. This … Continue reading →

Last weekend we took our first overnight trip without the kiddo. We had each spent nights away from him but we hadn’t left him with anyone overnight. We decided we needed some alone time after all of the illness and surgeries we had this spring and summer so we left the kid at grandma and … Continue reading →

Just a quick post. I am supposed to gift this tomorrow afternoon. We’ll see. For now I am a busy bee trying to get it as close to finished as possible! Completed pics soon, I hope! Continue reading →

I was in Chicago recently when Carolyn was working on her secret family project, a really cool quilt. I couldn't get it out of my head, so it should come as no surprise that one of my next projects would be a quilt. Unfortunately, as it is for a gift, that's all I can tell … Continue reading →

Picture 001 Originally uploaded by onestitchshort Upon hearing about Stacey’s Red project (link in previous post, I’m a lazy blogger today but hey, I’m blogging again), I checked the stash. I have a lot of sock yarn so I was sure I would have something suitable there. Surprisingly enough, I didn’t have any mostly red … Continue reading →

I sat down yesterday to be responsible and finish the Morehouse Shawl I was working on before I started a new one.  As I began to work on it, I decided that I didn’t like it.  I love the yarn and the pattern just not the two together.  My problem is that I picked up … Continue reading →

I mentioned nearly a month ago that we were busily preparing for the kiddo’s birthday party, but I just got the pictures uploaded, so I’ll show you what we did. We wrapped all of the tables in brown craft paper so the kiddos could color on the tables while they were eating or crafting (we … Continue reading →
