a multitude of thanks

I’ve had some pretty awesome mail calls lately. This stack was waiting when I got home from vacation. Each package deserves its own post, but since I seem to be posting in a weekly basis, I’ve got to put it all out there.  I won Two Years, No Rain from the generous Robyn who had [...]

Au revoir, 2010!

I know it’s a bit early to be saying goodbye to the year, we do have until Saturday, after all.  However, I am ready to see this year go, see it in the rear view mirror, definitely let the door hit it on the way out. It’s been a tough year (and I think I [...]

twelve days

Has it really been 12 days since I posted last?  I spent last week in an allergy haze, saved by a z-pack, only to pull a muscle as soon as I started feeling better – which resulted in a neck crick that made me unable to look to the left! Sometimes you just don’t want [...]

four years in the making

We’ve been in our house almost four years and for four years, I’ve had foliage, but no gladiolas. This year, we got a surprise.  I did not plant this, and I think I appreciate its beauty even more because I did absolutely nothing to create it. It was a gift that I wasn’t expecting, and I [...]

weekend of surprises

What a great weekend!  Saturday morning, SB went to the post office and came home with a package for me!  I love getting treats in the mail! Diane at Wool and Spice had a contest recently and I won!  Unfortunately, I cut off the title of the magazine, but it’s The Knitter, a new UK-based knitting [...]

Holiday knitting

The fact that Christmas is ten days away finally hit me this morning.  Fortunately, I only have two things that I HAVE to have finished – a wee little scarf and a pair of socks. The scarf has been started and frogged but I’m not really worried about that.  I can do garter stitch in [...]

Thank you, America!

Hallelujah!  I couldn’t stay awake to watch the results last night, despite drinking an afternoon cup of coffee, but I woke to the news this morning!  I teared up a few times watching snippets of Obama’s speech on CNN, I can’t wait to watch the whole speech! And today’s my anniversary!  Happy Anniversary SB! It’s [...]

Arte y pico

Yesterday, I was flabbergasted to see that Cyndy had awarded me a Arte y pico award.  Although I’m not really sure what this award is (and reviewing the website didn’t make it much clearer), I’m humbled that Cyndy listed my blog because, well, I have a little bit of a blog crush going on.  As [...]

Random Tuesday

Life is busy!  I’m posting randomly! 1.  I’ll get the grouchy out of the way first.  There should be consequences for the person who takes the last cup of coffee before noon and DOESN’T MAKE MORE!  I’m thinking forty lashes but that may be too lenient. 2.  I owe a big thank you to Janet!  [...]

Rhinebeck

You guys didn’t know I went to Rhinebeck, did you? Okay, well, *I* didn’t actually go, just a bit of my money did, and thanks to the kindness of a fellow wool fiend, my spoils arrived today!  I didn’t show off my SAFF purchases so I’ll make up for that now.  ;o) This is a lovely [...]
