C2’s turning one tomorrow (sniff) and we’re throwing him a monster party this weekend! I’ve been knitting and crocheting monsters for the party to give as party favors (and some friends have sent monsters along to help me out, too). These are the monsters I’ve made so far, still in progress, as many of them … Continue reading

Austin Day 2: Mmmmm….Doughnuts
Man, we have had quite the adjustment to going back to school, but that’s another post for another day. I just realized I never told the rest of the story regarding our Austin Yarn Crawl, and that means I may have missed the best part of all. The Doughnuts! I had heard of Gourdoughs on … Continue reading
Our Own Austin Yarn Crawl
My friends that I knit with had been talking about checking out the yarn shops in Austin for a while, so we decided to make it happen last weekend. We were sad that one friend got sick so she couldn’t come, but we definitely plan to go back and do it again. We had a … Continue reading
Working Weekend
I think it’s back to school time that makes me want to get everything organized, so this weekend I spent a lot of time cleaning things out. The biggest project was the coat closet at the front of our house. I wish I had taken a before picture, it was pretty atrocious. There was just … Continue reading
My Menu Planning Gameplan
Okay, so I haven’t actually used this yet, but I came up with a plan for menu planning (heh) that I thought I’d share in case it helps someone else out. I have recently discovered Evernote (thanks to Mary-Heather) and have been using it for recipes and shopping lists. It was so handy over the … Continue reading
The Santa Suit
After coming back from Thanksgiving and the Arkansas Fiber Extravaganza (which I’ll blog on the Ravelry blog this week), I was greeted by a note from C1’s teacher written prior to Thanksgiving which we obviously did not see. She asked me if I could make a Santa suit. I responded by asking her for who … Continue reading
Black Friday
I didn’t keep up the blogging over the holiday but now that I’m back to a bit of a normal schedule, I’m back at it. One highlight of my holiday break was Black Friday shopping with my cousin, aunt, sister and the husband. I’m not one to get up early, so we hit WalMart at … Continue reading
Hit the road, Jack!
As I write this, my rear end is tightly wedged between two car seats, C1 on my right watching Toy Story 3 on my old phone (thank God for technology) & C2 on my left eating, non-stop. The plan was to drive halfway tonight, but I think we might push through and get to our … Continue reading
His Blanket
When I was pregnant with Cameron, I made him a blanket. He has since used it at home, at school and everywhere in between. He loves it and four years later, he still uses it. So, I decided it was worth making one for C2 when I was pregnant with him. My big criteria, no … Continue reading
Quilt Festival
The Quilt Festival was in town a couple of weeks ago. The consumer portion of the show is amazing. One side of the convention center features quilts that have been selected for display in various categories. My mother in law who came with me compared many of them to paintings, though they are painting with … Continue reading
