Finally figuring out my guage difference so I can cast on for the hourglass sweater. Driving up to Portland with Bj and a sleeping Tuesday, so peaceful and nice.

Doing…
Well, I didn't mean for it to be THAT long between posts. What have we been doing? Tons, but we'll start with the scrapbooking stuff – you heard right – scrapbooking! I have been organizing my scrap stuff after a great weekend scrap day with Sarah last weekend. Of which I took one picture and …
Weekend
Hands down I had an awesome weekend. We didn't go anywhere but we did have lots of fun. Starting on Saturday when I went thrifting. That's right, Sciarrino and I were back up to our old tricks. I thawed some of my milk, left Tutu with Bj and headed out early. I didn't have any …
Making Tuesday Look HUGE
Are these two little peanuts: Karen's beautiful twin (fraternal) girls. On the left is Kourtney, on the right Kathryn. Tuesday and I spent yesterday over there "helping out" I use that term loosely, though I did bring food. My almost, but not quite 12 pounder is such a big bright eyed baby now! I notice …
I need a bigger allowance…
Seam allowance that is. When I calculate quilt stuff or any kind of sewing thing it seems the math and I never really get along. A few weekends ago Sciarrino came over so we could have one of our good old craft days (yeah!) and I worked on a project you might remember me blogging …
Incentives
Bj and I were discussing ways we could get into better shape, and have decided we need incentives. Bj: "Okay so how about this? You get down to 120 and you can have $X for the craft room." (I want new cabinets in here) Amber: "Ugh, 120, that's like 20 pounds." Bj: "You've weighed that …
Windows
So original on the title, I know. So the bee situation seems to be under control. This is not what fixed it: But it does show you the horrid state of our windows. It also shows you Tuesday's new My First Baby Legs. We picked those up at Target yesterday, love them! Okay so really …
Friggin Bees
We could go with a post about my lovely in laws visiting, or some new spinning, or the great weather we had, or even our three new windows, but instead: bees. On Saturday when our tree stump removal guy was here (which is pretty awesome by the way, the process), he pointed out some bee …
Just because it was sunny
I had an idea to take pictures of Tutu in her birthday suit. But thought better of since you never know when the girl is going to pee. She doesn't normally wear these diapers, they are like back up emergency ones. But they do the trick. She loves to eat her hands. Ah silly girl, …
You didn’t think the remodel was done did you?
Because it is so not. The night before I went into labor I enthusiastically ripped up the paper protecting our wood floors and vowed we were done, no more workers upstairs at least. Of course they still did pop up a bit to finish a few things. And when Tutu was a couple days old …
