Tomorrow is June 1st, which means Project Spectrum shifts from pink, yellow and green to red, black and metallics. I didn’t do such a great job with my projects for these past two months. Let’s see… Socks: One sock + one toe. I have no excuse for these, except that they’re my “purse project” that [...]
Lisa taught a course on gum paste flowers last night. I had such fun making the flowers for my grandparents’ cake that I decided to take the class. Here are few of the flowers I made: There were also daffodils and tulips, but those never managed to get on stems. I have to say I [...]
We walked down to Main Street for the Memorial Day parade this morning. (If you know where we live, you’ll realize that walking down to Main Street really isn’t that impressive – it’s walking back up that’s the tough part!) Carrie enjoyed all the sights and sounds of the parade: We spent the remainder of [...]
We were at the mall last night, and as we were driving past one of the retention ponds we saw the oddest thing. There were several geese (as usual). And in the grassy area by the geese was a young couple with their barely walking-aged twins. One was still in the stroller, and the other [...]
I signed Carrie up for bumper bowling this spring, and today was the last day. After the game there was a party with donut holes and juice, and each kid got a trophy and a balloon. What was Carrie’s favorite part of the eight weeks of bumper bowling? The balloon.
Dear Carolyn, Guess what? You’re as old in months as I am in years. (Yes, that means I’m old.) Every day I realize that the toddler is disappearing a little and leaving a preschooler in her place. Some days you shock me with how big you’re getting, how helpful you are, what you can do [...]
Let’s see, eight years ago we were…eating cake? Or doing the bouquet toss? Oh, how the years change things. Let’s see, we didn’t get each other cards – although we did get a Wii! – and instead of going out for a nice romantic dinner we grilled, invited my parents and my brother over, and [...]
My brother-in-law John requested an knit covering for his ipod nano. This is what I came up with: It’s leftover sock yarn, borrowed from my mom (all of my leftover sock yarn seems to be of the pink and girly variety.) I just made up the pattern as I went along, trying it on my [...]
In a completely impulsive moment, we bought ourselves a Wii. Our anniversary is next Tuesday (isn’t the modern gift for eight years a game console?) so we figured we’d splurge, since a) they’re really hard to come by, and b) they’re incredibly fun. We played Wii bowling last night…I’m definitely better at Wii bowling than [...]
Julia just posted a knitting meme – and since I haven’t taken any recent pictures of my stuff-in-progress I figured I’d do this instead. Pictures tomorrow…maybe. Edit the list, bold for stuff you
