Sunday at my house is laundry day. It sounds odd to say and I think of women in the 50’s who had a designated laundry day, but if I don’t designate a day I never have the clean clothes I need when I want them and who knows when the sheets will get laundered! I [...]

My Very First Hat
Posted in Knitting, tagged koolhaus hat, swift, yarn winder on December 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is my very first attempt at a hat. Not bad if I do say so myself! It is the Koolhaus hat from Holiday IK. I had leftover Cascade 220 from the wine cozy I made, so thought this was the perfect project. It just happens to be the same color as the one modeled [...]
Christmas Recovery

The trip to Iowa was good. Christmas was good. And the day after Christmas shopping was a tradition I will never give up! Still, coming home is always nice…..even if it is to another 3″ of snow which means more shovelling.
today consisted of driving, shovelling, unloading the car, and watching Netflix movies while I knit up [...]
Christmas Eve

Growing up Christmas Eve morning was when we had our Christmas. I never questioned why Santa came to my house on the night of the 23rd instead of the night of the 24th. I just knew the morning of the 24th we would get up and open presents. Then we would all pack the car [...]
Wrap Up

I felted the lovely Vintage Velvet the first of this week. It turned out just beautiful if I do say so myself (the very white background above is due to the snow that just won’t stop here this weekend). The drape, color, and touch made it worth every minute! Since my sister tends to like [...]
Nature

When I got home this evening there was a deer in my backyard. Not all that unusual since I live in a fairly wooded neighborhood, and my neighbor behind me puts food out for them. But she had left her 2 friends eating in my neighbor’s yard to come over the fence and lay down in [...]

Blonde Moment

My entire life has been spent being blonde….varying degrees of naturalness, but I have always been blonde. When I was little it was a very natural true blonde as I got older it got more dishwater. But thanks to the foiling gods….the natural blonde of my youth can be achieved for a price.
On Halloween this year [...]
Weekend Wrap-up

I can tell it is December….lots of stuff filling up my weekend! Yesterday I think I was home for about 1 1/2 hours (at least awake time). I got a lot of Christmas shopping (and looking) done, went to my work Holiday Party, and ran errands.
That left today to decorate the house, do some laundry, [...]
Brrrrrr

It doesn’t seem that long ago that it was 90 degrees and we were playing in the sprinkler… literally (T’s husband thought we were nuts, but laughed and took the picture anyway).
And tonight is supposed to something like -10. Break out the flannel sheets and wool blankets!!!! I had best keep working on all of those [...]
