It has been really tough to get Andrew down for a nap, lately. I suspect he’s entering that age where kids decide naps are totally uncool. It’s just too bad they’re pretty much NECESSARY for an 18-month old to be happy. Some days, he goes down after nursing and will sleep for a solid hour [...]

I started gift #9 on Tuesday, but put it down on Wednesday (yesterday) to start a woolly hat for my four year old. His woollies have been passed down to his brother, so his ears are quite cold when we’re out. And that is just not acceptable.
I chose one of my all-time favorite hat patterns, [...]

And it’s finally cold here in Houston! Hu-freakin’-zzah! I was getting kinda worried for a bit. Thought we’d have to dress the boys in shorts and sleeveless shirts for Christmas. That would definitely put a damper on any cute photos. Not like I’m super obsessed with holiday photos anyway. My camera slept in my diaper [...]

On Sunday, I added two gifts to my pile. They were easy peasy, as most comments on my pattern can attest to.
Since then, I’ve added two more. As of today, I have 7 gifts complete. I started #8 this morning. I lowered my list by 1, but I think I’m going to re-knit #3, so [...]

I actually finished this a couple of days ago. Since then, I’ve completed 2.5 others! That’s right. I’m on my way to having 6 complete gifts. That would leave me one gift shy of 50% of my goal. And there’s 30 days left!
I chose the Slouched Tuva pattern for this. I cast-on less stitches [...]

Where’s gift #1, you ask? Well, that would be the pair of granny square slippers I made a few weeks ago. My spreadsheet was off by 1 because I forgot I made those as a gift. This morning, I completed a toddler beret I started yesterday evening and updated the spreadsheet. I now have 2.9 [...]

100% wool, ready to toast your head. The absolutely electric color (”lemongrass”) is sure to add spunk to any dreary fall day.

I made a contraption for my nikon/duaflex, today. The purpose of the contraption is to be able to take photos through the viewfinder without any glare on the glass. I got a few light leaks, so I need to tweak it a bit. I’ve heard good things about lining it with felt, so I may [...]

We picked up my Kodak Duaflex II from the post office, this morning (thank you, ebay seller, for shipping so promptly). I.am.in.love!
I didn’t have a contraption handy (directions printed, supplies ready, just need some time), but I think I got some decent shots with my D40. This will surely tide me over in photography [...]
