Today, I thought I’d give you a little glimpse into the view from here. This is how I start my day. At my desk with a coke and a candy bar. Nothing like a healthy breakfast! Today, Sophie came along toting my Audrey progress around so I can work on it during my lunch break. … Continue reading →

I’m back! I just didn’t want you to think I had fallen off the face of the earth. 🙂 I had a great weekend but I’m really missing the productiveness that I usually have on a weekend. I didn’t get anything accomplished and I came back feeling exhausted so I still haven’t accomplished anything. I … Continue reading →

What a week! It’s been a bit crazy at work because I won’t be there tommorow or Friday! I am helping with a college student retreat which is going to be a crazy road trip! It should be a lot of fun, but it puts me out of commission until Sunday night or Monday. I … Continue reading →

The brief photo shoot on the way out the door just didn’t do Purple Penny justice. My cameraman humored me and took some more when we got home from work.* Today I got complimented on this sweater and the colors that I selected, even when they didn’t know I made it.

There ya have it, purple penny is complete! This isn’t the greatest picture but it’s the best we could do as we were running out the door this morning. There were several firsts with this project.

He was just hanging in a little hole in the drain cover. He let me get really close before letting go. Jason thinks that he … Continue reading →

the knitters go shopping! Well, that’s what I do anyway! I’m kinda tired of my current projects and I’m ready for a change of pace. Enter all of the new fall/winter magazines. I haven’t been blown away by anything, until now. It’s Helga. Perhaps there are a few things you should know. First of all, … Continue reading →

I started this post a whole three days ago! I got distracted by dinner and since then it’s just been one distraction after another. I am nearing the finish lines on Purple Penny but still not as close as I’d like to be. I’m experiencing a bit of a knitting slump because I am ready … Continue reading →

Went to the yarn store on my lunch break today and left with (gasp) nothin’! I am having some problems deciding on my next project for me, probably due to the fact that I have two in progress that must be completed before I move on to another project for me. 🙂 I would kind … Continue reading →

I had a very low-key weekend which appears to be followed by a busy week. We have plans nearly every night this week. Two nights include Mexican food! 🙂 Luckily, I’m a big fan. Tonight, I’m going out to eat with some girls I know through my husband’s job. Tommorow night, we are filling in … Continue reading →
