mom update, fiber reminder, pee, pictures and a video that will make you laugh: Or your money back.

So here we are on a Wednesday. Feels like Thursday to me. Don’t you hate that?
All of a sudden it is starting to feel like spring is in the air, even though most days are still quite cold. I can’t explain it, cold but feeling spring like. Perhaps it’s the sun or a smell in [...]

Mittens are on their way to being warm hands

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/sanhurl/dimorphous-mittens
Making my way through Dimorphous mittens. I have loved this process. I need them this morning, it is so cold!
~~
It has occurred to me lately that every time I go away for a weekend or even for the day, Andy takes on a huge cleaning project that is begging to be done! (I am very [...]

I ate fiber today, did you?

It’s been a week, that is for sure! I am poopticated. There’s almost too much to talk about.
First off, my Mom had surgery today. She has been going through hell for months with diverticulitis. Today she had a colon resection, removing 8 inches of her diseased and blocked colon and now is sporting a colostomy [...]

Some things with the most important thing at the end. Skip over most of it if you wish, but read the end, k?

Thank you all for your inspiring, wonderful cheers for Town and Country. I have worn it every day. Do you do that? Just wear the begezzus out of a newly finished handknit?
Now? I’m stuck in that uninspired, blasé place that is tough for me to get over. The between projects. I have some things [...]

Town and Country, done and worn

Is there anything better than finishing a sweater and wearing it all day on a cold, blustery, bitterly cold day?
I think not.
My only complaint? The sleeve grew quite a bit during the washing/blocking. Now instead of fitting snugly at the wrist and being the perfect length, they are almost covering my fingers and about 2 [...]

almost a tragedy

Yesterday morning, I saw this sitting on the edge of the melting snow  (not much melting though but we will take a little melting even if it’s a fluke). It is my gnome in a boot planter that I had on the porch steps last summer that did not get brought in before the snow [...]

P.S. I had a better day today

It has to be said and I will be the one to say it: John Cusack is a great actor. I respect his work and the way that he leads a respectful life, so unHollywood-like.  And how much do I love that I get to see the uber talented Joan Cusack in many of the [...]

Just one crappy day, beginning to end.

When I have a lot swirling around my brain, I do best in a list. So, a list:
~I have knit the collar on the Town and Country Sweater. I was half way through the neck cast off when I (luckily) ran out of yarn. So, I did what anyone would do. I tried it on. [...]

This is so exciting. It’s almost too much to bring to a close….if you know what I mean. And I think you do know what I mean!

Time to seam…

Busy seaming. When kitties are not taking turns laying on the “new afghan”~
