May Day Update

What’s been happening around here? Not much but also a whole lot. I think we’ve had a bit of a spell where we allowed our lives to be overtaken by the Tyranny of the Urgent. I think this has taken up a lot of my brain space making it hard to just relax and focus […]

Twisted Tuesdays (and other stuff)

Hey… betcha thought I was backin’ out of the whole Twisted Tuesday thing! Nope. Just hadn’t gotten my act together. That’s all changed. I got the spinning wheel out and started spinning up some more of the roving that I purchased at Madrona. This time I’m working on some roving from Chameleon Colorworks. Chameleon Colorworks. […]

Eggs & Yarn

We had a nice, relaxed weekend.  In addition, our Easter celebrations at church, with friends and with family was just fantastic. Anna Grace had a ball dyeing eggs.  I bought two different kinds of egg dyeing kits.  The traditional variety and one that you use little rollers to put the dye on the eggs. Anna […]

So What’s Goin’ On?

How about a list?  (brain’s not working…got a headache…. the usual reasons you get a list!). 1.  I finished the socks.  And…. AND…. the coolest thing happened.  OK… those people (you know who you are) that obsess  are deeply concerned over whether the socks they knit are identical twins and not fraternal twins….. I’ve never […]

Adventures in Apraxia

Anna Grace is doing great.  It seems that she’s kinda moved to the next level since we moved.  I think much of that has to do with her new school.  It is very structured, she has good verbal models and she loves going. But we’ve also had some adventures lately that have been a bit […]

Randomn Thoughts

How about a list? 1.  Momma Wannabe arrived last night from North Carolina.  Looks like "moving week" has arrived. 2.  House hasn’t sold.  What else is new? 3.  Got a new cell phone, it’s a camera phone and I’ve been playing around with it.  You’d think I was twelve. 4.  Decided I wanted (for the […]
