Have you ever heard the phrase "it’s like a car wreck, you can’t stop looking at it"? Well, I’m in that situation right now and I can’t keep my eyes off the front porch. You see, there is a rat taking his last breaths on my front walkway! Long tail and all! He wasn’t there … Continue reading →

The nice thing about having a dad who’s a packrat is receiving random surprises from the past every so often.  The most recent surprise was this… It appears to be a crocheted baby blanket.  It definitely needs some TLC after spending years in a storage building, but it’s still in great shape.  The story behind … Continue reading →

Another long weekend is winding down.  I can say that while it was uneventful, it was a good one.  We ran some errands, hung out around the house, watched movies and I did some knitting while the husband played some video games.  Oh, and I worked on the thesis, so I earned my knitting time … Continue reading →

So, last night I was settling in to bed, looking forward to a nice evening of deep sleep on my nice big bed when I noticed that I was not sleeping alone.  We had guests.  Ants.  Lots of them.  Jason spent the next thirty minutes solving our little problem, but then the bedroom smelled like … Continue reading →

Yesterday was one of those days that you don’t want to be at work.  My husband was home from work recovering from jet lag and I wanted to be with him.  Alas, I was not.  Since that was not an option, I indulged in a little fiber therapy during my lunch break.  It’s the Cocktail … Continue reading →

clap your hands!  I can finally show you what I’ve been working on for the last week or so, my clapotis.  I bought the yarn at Maryland Sheep and Wool.  It’s handpainted 100% rayon.  While I was so tempted to buy only wool, you don’t really have the opportunity to wear wool sweaters in Houston, … Continue reading →

Tonight my camera, I mean my husband arrives home.  All joking aside, I really missed him and will be glad to have him home.  Since I can’t show you my knitting progress, I thought it was a good time to pay a debt.  I owe Stacy a meme.  In the whirlwind of sheep and wool, … Continue reading →

For some reason, I got inspired at about 11 o’clock tonight to re-do the blog.  Once I started, I couldn’t stop.  I think I like the challenge of trying to create something when I know nothing.  Okay…must.go.to.bed. Continue reading →

Life feels pretty uneventful today, so I thought I’d visit a time that was very eventful…Korean Karoke. Many of the blogger folks that partook in Korean Karoke while at Sheep and Wool have already posted their take. Here’s a pictorial tour of the evening. When we got there, the first order of business was to … Continue reading →

This weekend was quiet, in great contrast to last weekend (which is probably a good thing because as fun as last weekend was, it was absolutely exhausting).  The husband is in Taiwan on a school trip, giving me some alone time.  Initially, I was excited about having this time, but the charm has worn off.  … Continue reading →
