Saturday June 13th was World Wide Knit in Public Day! And what a fun day it was! The Charlotte Knitting Guild hosted an event from 11-3 at a Charlotte area Books-a-Million, with prizes drawn every half-hour. The Joe Muggs cafe stepped up and had samples of iced coffee and treats for us too! (Charlotte… Continue reading WWKiP Day!

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!

DS#1 and #2 are getting left with my parents while we stay at an upscale hotel in downtown Atlanta, catch a show at the Fabulous Fox (Les Miserables - my… Continue reading 10 years (and counting!)

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
New member of the family
Well, we got the boys a hamster the other day. (I'll be doing the pet-parenting, though, since they're 4 and 2!) She's a sweet little hammy - very sociable. She's only nipped me once, and to be fair I think my fingers smelled like food. She handles being picked up and petted very well. I'm… Continue reading New member of the family
Super Bowl disappointment and Other Stuff
First off, I can not believe that the Pats lost that game. They totally handed it to the Giants. I am so mad at them right now. 'Nuff said. Moving on.... Here's my Mardi Gras mask finished! I'm happy with how it turned out. I wore it to the Central Piedmont Mommies Mardi Gras Party… Continue reading Super Bowl disappointment and Other Stuff
