Sometimes, you have the best intentions of doing something and then the rest of your life stuff gets in the way. That’s how it’s been regarding helping the husband raise money for his MS150 ride this year! I rode the MS150 with him for a couple of years and the last few years he’s done … Continue reading

The Perfect Weekend
We’ve dubbed this weekend the perfect weekend, and it really was in so many ways. One of the highlights was strawberry picking. We picked 20 pounds of strawberries. I couldn’t believe that we picked that much! I told the boys we could pick as many as we wanted since I could can them! And can … Continue reading
Girasole
For Christmas, our very kind friends Bonnie and David built Cam a train table. So, I wanted to give them something nice and handmade in return. I wound up choosing Girasole and am so glad I did. It turned out beautifully! It did seem like it took forever to finish at the end, since each … Continue reading
Still Finishing
I think I may try to keep finishing things until the Ravelympics start on the day of opening ceremonies. Ravelympics is an event where you try to complete a project (or finish several works in progress) during the span of the Olympics. I only have a few things to go! It would be nice to … Continue reading
Starting to Finish
I’ve finished two of the projects that I’m hoping to finish in January (or soon anyway)! The first one I finished just before TNNA, my Meandering Mitts! I love how these turned out. Of course, with this Buffalo Gold yarn, you can’t go wrong, but the pattern took a bit of getting used to with … Continue reading
Thinking of Spring
I know it’s already January, but I’ve started thinking about Spring. The lettuce in my garden is still growing, but it and the carrots are my only winter “crops” (I realize I’m lucky to live somewhere warm enough to maintain those). I’m starting to get excited about gardening this year with all that I learned … Continue reading
Finishing Frenzy
I am dedicating January to finishing things I started last year! I have many projects that are almost finished, but just need a little attention, like the Monday Morning Cardigan above (my <ahem> Rhinebeck sweater) And, a couple of projects that were supposed to be finished for Christmas but, um, aren’t. So, I’m trying to … Continue reading
Happy 2010!
I am one of those people who likes a fresh start, like this new blog space and the new year. If anything, 2009 taught me that things can change faster than you can imagine and opportunity can come where you least expect it. After working for Ravelry part time (on top of my full time … Continue reading

Summertime, and the knitting is easy
Things have been a little bit crazy since I started working at Ravelry (look here if you don't know what I'm talking about). For a bit, this is on top of several other responsibilities that I had prior to accepting the job, making life a bit hectic, but it is SO worth it! Add to … Continue reading
