Playtime

Today my eldest built a sandbox for my younger 2 children. I hope this gives them as many hours of fun as my sandbox gave me when I was a kid.

Square Foot Garden Update

As of today, the kids have lettuce (4), peppers (2), tomato, and potatoes(4). Looking good!!!

What do you do when you have soft ground from a good soaking rain, children with loads of extra energy from being indoors on the rainy days, full sun, and cool temps?




You send the kids out to plant blueberry bushes!!!!

Ewww...

I hope you enjoy the pictures in the next post. This is what happened when I went out to take them.

Welcome Back

This weekend the Dawg tilled our garden, and I planted medicinal herbs. It was like being welcomed home after being away for a while.

Look It

Last night I finished my so (short O sound). There's no ck because it isn't a sock. It was supposed to be, but I wasn't following a pattern. It was my first attempt. I did too many decreases in my gusset. You can't tell from this photo, but these are the Spanx of footwear.

Let me know if you need a pair. I just know these are going to be all the rage, and I'll be a rich knittin' chick.

Back To Life

The Dawg and I returned from our trip to Charleston, SC almost a week ago. We had an absolutely wonderful time. It was exactly what the Dr. ordered.

Since I've been home, I've been craving these.

I caved tonight and made them. I do love a hot cinnamon bun.

I was thrilled to come home to these...

They're Knit Picks circular needles. I love 'em!!! They knit like buttah.

I was stunned today when my middle child asked if I would help him organize his room. He just wanted me to instruct him, then let him move the furniture more to his liking. The result...

My final blogworthy item since coming home is that I have been working on a sock. I turned the heel last night, worked on the gusset and saw that I had my work turned all funny and ended up with 2 rows of purl stitch that should have been a knit stitch. I ripped several rows today, feeling quite ill while doing so. I put the work away for a few days, until I can come back to it with a brighter outlook.

Back to life as normal.
