Yesterday was a bachelorette-o-rama for a dear friend of mine, Tex: We made her wear the veil, she didn’t protest too much. The morning started off at her place where I brought bagels and cream cheese. Which were overshadowed by Tex’s lovely sticky buns. She just couldn’t help herself and baked on Friday in 100 …

And the winner is – 343
Did you think I’d totally forgotten about the jars? No, no, there were 337. That is everything that was in the garage, which included a couple of boxes from another sale, and a few broken, but still what a haul! Now I just have to finish organizing them and get them full of ribbon and …
It’s not a food baby!!!
Today was our anatomy scan, and what do you know? Our baby has all it’s parts, legs, arms, the whole bit, we’re so lucky! Excited? Oh just a little bit 🙂
No Shoes… I mean it!
Today I had a very productive day… of the not so fun kind. Last week I had tried to scrub my floors but for some reason I just could not be at all comfortable bending over, kneeling and doing it then. I believe I called Bj at work and sobbed that I was a useless …
Thanks Brent!
Yesterday morning my brother called to tell me they had just been to an estate sale I should check out, full of sewing and crafty goodness. So Bj and I decided to take our walk early and go to it. Boy am I glad he called us, the house was a weird sort of time …
Spun and Done
I finished this yummy yummy yarn, it took a while to dry as it is a bit damp around here (thank goodness, hot gets old to me). There is so much yarn here! I did about 718 yards, 2 ply, fingering weight? It’s 17 wpi, which means when you wrap it around a pencil for …
Baby Love
Since I’m not done with the "yarn that will never end" I thought I’d share some lovely little things that I’ve gotten lately. My dad and brother might be more excited than anyone about the little one. My dad got baby that little mini Roots shirt. I think the days of him coming back from …
Spinning and Digging
Super busy crazy weekend. Good though, wedding + visits always equal good. On Friday night Sciarrino took me for an early birthday present to Eugene. We went to see this. So wonderful! Beautiful stories of birth, and strong woman we are not afraid to enjoy it! We also went to a fabulous yarn shop (check …
Public Service Announcement
There is out in Salem today the HOTTEST FEDEX GUY EVER. He just came to my door, and I swear to God, I thought I was getting punk’d or something. Easily the hottest guy I’ve ever seen in real like, maybe 5′ 10", short dark hair, with a day’s worth of stubble. He brought a …
Still counting jars
I still have a box of jars to wash, yuck. Then the lids, ah the lids, how I hate to wash thee. So instead I spun a little, you know mixing things up from the knitting groove: Is that not fantastically yummy? I’m spinning it pretty thin so I can ply it together and still …
