Dana was hacking with some jungle rot form of cooties and now Anna Grace is doing it.  I think I may be doomed.  Poor Anna Grace is trying to play with toys, etc but then she just gives up and just lays on the floor.  Looks a bit pitiful.  I’m glad she waited until after […]

Dana is having a birthday this week.   As his gray hairs multiply I thought we could have a few contests around here to celebrate Dana’s birthday.  He doesn’t want anything for his birthday so instead, we’re giving stuff away.  "Stuff" as in yarn.  (Did that get your attention?). Leave your answers in the comments.  If […]

A little update…. and be warned…. I’m feelin’ snarky. 1. Anna Grace sang in church yesterday.  She hammed it up a bit. 2. Hallulujah!  Christmas is almost over is here. 3. Anna Grace informed me today that S * P * O * O * N spells spoon.  She’s been attached to watching Super Why […]

Hampy was the man […]

I am going to say something that may be considered heresy.  I hate center pulled yarn balls.  I do.  Hate them.  Hate. Them. Bad.  Hate using them.  Hate winding yarn into them.  Hate them so bad that projects will often be delayed over the fact that I don’t want to wind the yarn so that […]

I got a little behind and forgot to post here about the contest for the yarn shop.    This month’s trivia question is…. Kris has an unusual rington for her cell phone.  What song does Kris use for a ringtone? The answer is located on this blog.  To enter, send your response to  contest@sonnyandshear.com.  In […]

Lily, my Lilybug, passed away today.  She was a good friend and my little sweetie pie. A video went around a few weeks back and when I saw it I laughed out loud.  It really reminded me of Lilybug.  So, in honor of her….. Cat Alarm Clock.
