Busy, Busy, Busy
So if you can't tell by the title, we've been really busy here the last few weeks! The weekend before Christmas we visited our families for an early Christmas. The DSs made out on presents from the grandparents! Which made me happy, since we had gone rather sparse by way of presents this year, so… Continue reading Busy, Busy, Busy
At the Summit
My family and I rented a cabin just outside of Helen Georgia for Thanksgiving. We were there four days. We were literally at the summit of a mountaintop, which made for a spectacular view. Here's a panoramic shot from Saturday morning when the fog from the rain was rolling in: The cabin was lovely (but… Continue reading At the Summit
New Shoes!
I snagged a great deal on some shoes the other day: These are Re-Mixed shoes in the Deco style. Olive and Brown colors. It's a 1920's inspired vintage recreation. These are normally $200 and I got them for $65 at Amazon. Great deal, huh? I normally wouldn't spend even that much on shoes (I'm a… Continue reading New Shoes!

Fair Ribbons, Knee Highs and Weight Loss
I entered my Pavo Socks and my Hemlock Ring Blanket in the Cabarrus County Fair. Lookie what they won - a second place ribbon and a third place ribbon! There were so many beautiful knitted and crocheted items there. And there are always lots of wonderful photos entered in the photo judging. I've started a… Continue reading Fair Ribbons, Knee Highs and Weight Loss
I can’t believe my baby’s 3!
My youngest turns 3 this Saturday. Where did the time fly to? I still remember being in the hospital having him - in the middle of the night, with his brother in his jammies since we had to wake him up to drive to the hospital. He ended up falling asleep in the delivery room… Continue reading I can’t believe my baby’s 3!
