Bradon came over today for a few hours sans the parental units, I was competly surprised at how much I was able to get done. We went into the backyard for a few hours, I was able to get some yard work done and the kids ran arround drunk on their freedom as my backyard [...]

That’s right I may have achieved absolution, yesterday I accidentally overpaid the duty on a package by 5 bucks…I figure that added onto the ammount I have paid in shipping to get my Mjolinor spindle refitted with a larger hook may have bought me some freedom. In happy mail news the nice postman brought me [...]

I have figured out which pattern I will use to showcase the great yarn my SP sent me. Yes, yes, I probably should be hauling arse on my Dad’s socks but I need to have a certain number of WIPs going for fear of some sort of vortex opening up and or the Stash monster [...]

Oh MY GODS!!!!!! I’m going to take Abi’s nap time to try to decompress from this Morning. How bad was this morning you may ask? I will tell you… It started with Abi discovering the main switch on the computer power bar while I was midway through my blog post. While I was under the [...]

Abi was very good this afternoon and had a nap that lasted for over 2 hours! I think she may be taking pointers from Bradon on the benefits of long naps. So while she was napping I was able to get a bunch of stuff done like blogging and this sweater: I followed the Baby [...]

Today I started some seedlings that will eventually be moved into the garden on the Victoria Day weekend. Why that particular weekend? By that date the risk of a frost killing off the germanating seeds is very low. The Plan for this seasons garden is to rip out the two unknown shrubs that are left [...]

Have a gander at this booty!!! My SP sent me : 3 balls of Classic Elite Kelso in a tweedy olivey green. This will make a perfect spring sweater for Ms. Abi. A set of vintage DPN needles! Two vintage knitting patterns which if knitted up and forced upon your child will gurantee they will [...]

The spindle not Thor’s Hammer. I have now spent obout 75$ in shipping trying to get this spindle refit/repaired. There are two tracking numbers so there will be no problems finding this puppy should we have another misplaced spindle incident. Fingers crossed In a few weeks this will all be over and I will have [...]

D-I-S-H-W-A-S-H-E-R! Yes people that’s right! Chris has purchased for me what is probably the best Marital Aid going! We will no longer have to deal with sights like this: My Mother couldn’t understand why we needed one, she raised three kids plus my Dad and never had a dishwasher…Yes she did their names were Melissa [...]

My spindle has sort of returned to me. The Postal person didn’t knock and instead relied on the broken door bell thereby causing me to miss the delivery. Now I need to wait till tomorrow to go get the package and then resend it to Greensleeves so that finally I can get a larger hook [...]
