  • Today was all about Jesus. Oh, and Chuck Norris. After our breakfast pie (yum, thanks mom, you are an amazing cook – even with no kitchen!) we went to a family storage unit so I could get some of my things and move them to my own storage unit. It was Brent, Taylor, Bj and I. On the drive Brent was telling us that Chuck Norris was suing NBC over the name Law and Order. And I was like, “what?” he said that was the trademark of Chuck Norris’ right and left legs. The boys started laughing, but I was slow to catch on. So on our stop at Brent’s house they had to look up a ton more of course. Then we all started rolling around like crazy laughing fools. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t get a good picture of Bj laughing because I was shaking the camera. So while I wait for some Modge Podge to dry in the other room, for your pleasure:

    -Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

    -Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

    -Chuck Norris puts the “laughter” in “manslaughter”.

    -Chuck Norris has only one hand: the upper hand.

    -Water boils faster when Chuck Norris watches it.

    -Whenever someone is constipated, doctors send them to Chuck Norris so he can scare the shit out of them.

    -Chuck Norris can count to infinity – twice.

    -Geico saved 15% by switching to Chuck Norris.

    -Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

    -The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

    -Chuck Norris’ calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Chuck Norris.

    -Chuck Norris once shot an enemy plane down with his finger, by yelling, “Bang!”

    -Chuck Norris’ dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone.

    These are so not mine. Just google chuck norris jokes. Hope you had a good laugh.

  • Is done! And I wore to church for Easter today! I love it, love it, love. It fits excellently and I love it. Oh and I love it some more. And I think I’m ultra fantastic. Seriously I feel so great about doing this. I predict me wearing this until it’s thread bare. Here is a little detail.

    I just want to say for those who will answer this post saying you can’t do it, you can! It’s not that hard to read a pattern like this (it was written very well). There are really just five big pieces, and putting them together was not that scary, nor was the collar. It is totally doable first sweater. Details:
    Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine Number 39 Spring/Summer 2006 Pages 43, 116-117. Lizzi by Sarah Hatton. Called for all seasons cotton but I knit this up in Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran color: 300502

    Thanks Bj for taking the pictures of me!

  • Bj’s birthday is coming up and I was going to be watching Nick and Lacey during that time, but their parent’s trip got changed to the week after so I thought I’d surprise Bj today by making him a little pre-birthday thing letting him know we would get to spend the weekend together.

    This is the cover. The book is just a half a piece of 12×12 cardstock accordion folded, with some easy stitched pockets and tags. I used crayons for the B so much fun!

    Each tag has things for him to pick for me to plan the perfect birthday weekend for him. I used a little square hole punch to make the boxes, just punching out of scrap cardstock from the tags. Isn’t that 4 card sweet? Sciarrino gave me some playing cards from this old game and this was in there. I also like how the happy birthday charm thing is attached to the page, I punched a (round) hold and stuck some double faced satin through one ring, brought it around back and tied it on the side. I hope he has fun filling this out so I can plan a great weekend!
