Knitting at the expense of housework.

Knitting like mad.

It's been to long and I need to pay attention to my punctuation.

It's been 6 months, where did all that time go?  We're getting ready for second grade around here. 

I've been shooting lots more, not knitting so much and I have a miniature quilt in progress (actually it's stalled).

The puppy is almost 18 months old and she is a great dog.  Casey has turned into an old lady, until she sees a rabbit on a walk.

We just got rid of all the chickens.  I found nice homes for them.  I'll be buying local eggs from here on out. 

All this random info is related to how much your life changes when you have a child.  For the most part, anything that interferes with the travel to and from activities and family needed to be curtailed.

Next, I'm trying to make the basement less hazardous to my shins.  We started out with a garage sale, but bunches of stuff didn't make it out.  Now to take a few things to the dump each week.

Baby hats

Craft Show

My friend Molly and I (me?) got a table at a local school craft show.  It was fun but not very productive.  I sold a pair of fingerless mitts for a 20% discount at the last minute.  Molly didn't sell anything even though people came by and stroked her knitting.  Her bamboo yarn catches everyone's eye.  My wool yarn does not.

The Boy's Quilt Top

After almost 2 years, I finally sat down and sewed up the quilt top for my son.  Maybe it will be done by Christmas.  These a few of the blocks.

Where have all the tomatoes gone?

The last time I posted I had ordered seeds. Well the garden was kind of a flop this year. Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee made the tomatoes explode. I had beans. Would have had more if HI hadn't knocked down the bean poles. I had broccoli. We've had some frost already.

We've got a new puppy, a beautiful German Shepherd.

I started an Etsy page to try and sell some of my knitting so I can justify my excesively large yarn stash.

Spring is on its way

I spent a good part of early winter working on presents and stuff. I have made approximately 6 hats. I made wallets for a friend to give as gifts and a quilted table topper for my sportsmen's club holiday party raffle.





Seeds are ordered.
