First I want to thank you all for the nice comments, emails, and tweets about my new website. I’m still adding some pictures to it and tweaking it a little but I’m really excited about it. I have several finished items that I’ve neglected to share on the blog. I keep wearing them and forgetting [...]
Here they are- my last two finished projects of 2008! I started the mittens when all the snow was still on the ground and Mike complained of not having any mittens. (Note that my kid cried because her hands were cold and she still does not have mittens. Again- What is wrong with me?!)’ I [...]

And a contest! Details about that after the pictures. Even though the weather was grey and drizzly this weekend (how quickly weather changes in Portland!) we spent a lot of time outside. Here are some pretties from the weekend. We went to the park and there were already lots of leaves on the ground. It [...]

E is for evergreens and emerging life. One of the great things about my job is that there is a trail through the woods on the property. I love the evergreens for their height and beauty and I get to look at them all day. When not looking high in the trees, though, the trail [...]
Well, for a little while at least. My mom’s socks were finished, mailed and received so that was a success. They turned out really well and they are SO soft!

Hi mom, welcome to my blog! I’ve been working on your gift for awhile now but I couldn’t quite finish in time for you to get it on your Big Day so a preview is in order.I thought you might like some pretty, handknit socks to put a little spring in your step. …
I finished my 1st sock for my mom’s birthday! I started it no less than 4 times so finishing it is a big deal. You may remember that I started it as a cable and rib sock (well, yes, a jaywalker sock 1st but that hardly counts). That was all going well until I realized [...]
Ta da! Here is my very first pair of knitted socks! I was happy to have finished the 1st one but a complete pair is much more exciting. I wore them for a few minutes last night but then put them away because they’re a Christmas present. I will miss them but (hopefully) they will [...]

Socktoberfest is officially over and I have 1 sock to show for it! Being my very first sock ever (a knitting milestone!) I am pretty happy. I actually didn’t finish sewing the toe until today but that’s close enough for me. Here is sock #1. It’s a little loose around my …

I’ve got three things to share with you this morning: Daylight savings sucks for me this year. I went to the store this morning to get some breakfast on my way to work (yes, I have to work on Sundays) and was surprised that the store was closed even though the signs said it should [...]
