Whew! I am ready for this week to be over. Thanksgiving was great, but a little bit nutty. There was dress-trying-on, dog sitting, family visiting, two birthday parties, the annual 5K turkey trot in our neighborhood, and of course lots of good eating! My grandma helped me put my winder and umbrella thing up to [...]

Had to turn the heat on this morning – Rufus was freezing… as was I. Our walk was frigid – pitch black out since the clouds were covering the little sun that would have been there and raining. Oh, and like 40 degrees. BRR!!!

I finished Lane’s legwarmies last night and started on her mittens! Yay!

It [...]

Posted by: cut the cord on: October 8, 2008

I spent over $200 on yarn on Monday [...]
