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 →

I had one of those days.  You know, one of the days where you go to leave the house late, finally get to work and discover that the world at work is crumbling around you.  Yeah, one of those days.  It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster, with some really good goods and … Continue reading →

I arrived home and immediately noticed a rather large box in my doorway.  I hadn’t heard my husband mention any recent online purchases, so I had a hunch it was from my secret pal.  Today was spent unpacking boxes of junk (only some of which were mine) in my new office.  Not the most fun … Continue reading →

Because I did.  But, it was a good thing.  Instead of giving in to my startitis (and the excuse of having a tangled mess of yarn standing between me and the end of my clapotis), I took clapotis with me.  I spent the way to Michigan working on untangling parts of my yarn.  I still … Continue reading →

Well, I’m off to Michigan!  Most of the time will be spent in a conference, but I am going to find a bit of time for fun, as well.  There will be time to shop in Grand Rapids on Friday and on Saturday, I’ll have a good chunk of free time.  I’m going to use … Continue reading →

As I mentioned before, I was at a conference on Saturday. I worked as an exhibitor and it was fairly slow, which meant a whole lot of knitting time. Clapotis moved along at a rapid pace. It’s so great to finally see progress on it. The first picture I showed you is all I had … Continue reading →
