  Morehouse Farm Merino     Gator Bag KnitKit                  
A cute option to the not-so-animal-friendly alligator bag. Unless you're the naked sheep.

Simple, yet tasty snack.

I was looking at my cable remote last night. Guess what! I have DVR. Yes. I’ve had this for 3 months and just discovered it. Oops. Maybe I will keep my cable for a bit longer. Until my rate goes up…unless I can negotiate to keep the same [...]

YouTube – symphony's Channel
This is such an exciting concept. The musicians have been chosen and will travel to New York City in April to perform a concert. What a cool way to gather outstanding musicians together.

Parmesan Pull-Aparts
I'm still a bit intimidated by anything with yeast, but if I keeps seeing [...]

Wordie: Make Lists of Words and Phrases
"Wordie lets you make lists of words and phrases. Words you love, words you hate, words on a given topic, whatever. Lists are visible to everyone but can be added to by just you, a group of friends, or anyone, as you wish."

Swing Cardigan
Cute, easy sweater pattern.

Cable Knit Throw
I'm completely taken with this pattern. It's unique looking and really nice. Although I'm not sure about the yarn choice. No acrylics for me, thank you very much.

Cabled Pillow with Buttoned Flange
I love the word "flange." But this is a great pattern even [...]

Turning cartwheels

Posted by: J on: January 15, 2009

There are a couple of things I’m excited about and looking forward to.
The first is just a day (not even that) away. Tomorrow afternoon I travel to Kansas to see DH and the dogs. It’s been a couple of weeks since seeing DH, but the dogs I’ve not seen since moving to IL. [...]

Brrrrrr!!! (and Happy Birthday MIL)

Posted by: J on: December 7, 2008

It’s a cold day here. The actual temperatures are in the teens, which isn’t all that bad, but the windchill makes it much colder. Still I did go out to run a couple of errands and go to the laundromat. There is more snow in the forecast for the next two [...]

I love using Stumble! because I tend to find stupendous thinks wandering the innertoobs. Like The Susan Branch cookie site.

The recipes look delicious and they are presented so beautifully.

It’s getting to be time for holiday baking and I plan to use a few of her recipes!

Little Bits

I wrote my first book review for the local paper. It should be published Oct. 10. Yes, family types, I’ll get a couple of copies and send it along. It’s really not anything spectacular, but I enjoyed doing it. The hard part was deciding which book to review. I chose [...]

Almost over

Posted by: J on: July 27, 2008

I’ve got that vacation-is-almost-over depression setting in. A bit worse than the usual Sunday depression since I’ve had a wonderful week at home with DH and the dogs (and other house guests as well.)
The next several days are going to be very busy. I still have to finish preparing for my presentation at [...]
