My father in law is a bow hunter.  They own a bit of property in the Texas HIll Country which is a prime deer hunting location, so he has a deer blind in his back yard.  Once he shoots a deer, he goes and gets his hunting dog to help track the deer.  The only … Continue reading →

What a month!  In short, I became obsessed with my thesis, opened a shop on Etsy, put on a holiday celebration for the husband’s family, went on a trip to the frozen tundry of Iowa for work, and today I get to watch the husband graduate with his masters degree.  In all of this, I … Continue reading →

Here is the point where I no longer have control over the whole thesis thing.  I have done all I can do to recruit participants.  I will write as much of the remaining parts I can write this weekend.  Now, I need to stop obsessing.  Tonight, I will try to go to sleep without worrying … Continue reading →

This whole thesis thing sure has been cramping my knitting style here lately.  Hopefully, I’m nearing the downhill stretch, but that’s hard to know for sure.  In case I haven’t mentioned it here, I’m researching communication between cancer survivors (in remission) and their oncologists.  It’s been a great topic, but the eligible participants are a … Continue reading →

This post has been a long time coming!  I took this picture yesterday, but technical difficulties prevented me from posting.  Not to mention the fact that I’ve been working on this for some time now and am just now telling you about it!  This is my Weasley, being knitted with Peruvian Wool from Elann.  It’s … Continue reading →

We now interrupt this semi-regular knitting blog for the baseball play-offs. One thing you may not know about me is that I love watching sports of all kinds, sometimes more than my husband does.  We have attended two of the Astros vs. Cardinals games (as seen below in our self-portrait), including the big one, you … Continue reading →

I spent the weekend knitting, but neglected blogging, so I thought I’d share these. Roses showed up on my desk on Thursday morning.  For no reason.  It’s the first time that the husband has sent me flowers (he’s bought them before but not sent them).  And they were just to say he was thinking of … Continue reading →

I finished my sock pal socks!  After blocking they were so soft, so I can see why people love koigu.  It’s hard to photograph these colors, but they are much more pink and red than purple.  The purple just seems to catch the camera.  I sent them early last week, but my pal hasn’t said … Continue reading →

This is one situation in which I’m glad that I don’t have some crazy story for you.  On our way home we did see the national guard trucks, all lined up to render aid who those in need. Now, we’re just working to get life back to "normal".  We’ve had to cancel events that were … Continue reading →

I wish I had time to email each of you right now, but unfortunately our internet isn’t working so I’m renegading wireless from our neighbors and don’t want to stay online for too long.  Anyway, we were very fortunate and blessed in this storm, but I know there are others who werent.  I slept through … Continue reading →
