Running with one foot glued to the floor

Random stuff today, pretty much what makes up my life right now, minus family stuff. I didn't get to work on the Oregon Vest at all yesterday, but I am making some progress.  One more row until I start the armhole stitches – yay!  I still have a long way to go on this vest [...]

The Baby’s New Name

So we all know that The Baby is not really so much a baby anymore, being that she will be 5 on her next birthday.  I’ve wanted to change her blog name for a long time, but couldn’t really think of any other nickname that I called her.  Well the other day I realized that [...]

Still around

It seems like it’s been so long since I’ve regularly blogged that I don’t even know how to start a post now.  I have been knitting, trying to finish two pairs of socks.  One is the Philosopher’s House Socks from Cat Bordhi’s New Pathways book, in my handspun teal BFL.  I like them enough, though [...]

Missing in Action?

That’s me I guess!  I’ve been knitting here and there, not nearly enough, but I’m still exercising a ton and I’m happy about that.  I’ve been reading in the mornings while I do my recumbent biking, and I finished a book and started a new one.  Along with the exercise, I’ve lost a little weight, [...]

Plugging Away

I’ve been busy again all weekend.  Knitting and trying to organize and clean up my house has kept me occupied, even though I don’t seem to be getting very far with all of it.  I have some finished stuff that still needs photos or actual finishing like blocking and sewing on of buttons.  When I [...]

Busy busy with no pictures

I have been very busy with knitting and reading over the weekend.  I have lots to share with you but I don’t have any pictures, how lame!  Oh well, at least I can tell you about it.  I finally blocked my Logan River Wrap and after a day of drying, it came out incredibly beautiful, [...]

I am America (And So Can You!)

If you’re looking for knitting content, stick around, I will have some!  I have some finished stuff that needs either blocking or a photo, I just have to get around to doing it.  I had a few more pictures of my most favoritest thing from our vacation, but it is ‘just’ more trees and I [...]

Random Post

I don’t have a real post, but I’ve got a few random things to share here goes it. Too cool: This week I got a letter in the mail from the DMV offering me the chance to renew my license by mail.  Believe me, I jumped at the chance to forego the endless line at [...]

Culture Warrior

First off let me say to my dear sister, in no way should you take any of what I say personally, you know that right?!!  (She is a fan of the O’Reilly)  I should also say that in what little I’ve watched his show, there have been some brief moments that he is actually entertaining [...]

The Assault on Reason and my garden

I finished reading The Assault on Reason yesterday.  It really made me wake up, after I got completely outraged at how we have been purposely deceived by our current administration.  And after I got outraged, I did this – if you see this car, it’s me!  I just had to voice my opinion somehow, and [...]
