My February
February was jam packed with stuff. I celebrated my 11th wedding anniversary, saw the beginning of a new year (Chinese New Year….year of the tiger, MY year!). I went to my first burlesque show in Asbury Park, baked cupcakes for and attended a good friend’s baby shower. Oh, and left the country [...]

I do still knit for myself!
And I have proof!! I started Thermal a couple weeks ago and I’m just a couple inches away from dividing for the neck placket.
I’ve also been baking. I baked a gigantic batch of brownies (4 times as large as my regular size) for our bbq a couple weeks ago. And I made [...]

Quilting, gardening, test knitting oh my!
Quilting first. I spent my weekend indoors, hacking up a couple lungs. When I wasn’t sleeping, and the hacking was at a minimum, I did a little knitting, and a little sewing. I finished up the quilt top!
I have the rest of the materials to finish the quilt, but with a big [...]

Forgive me…
…it’s been almost weeks since my last blog post. Life has become a little crazy, what with work, and socializing and stuff. Some of our dearest friends moved from Long Island last week to NJ, and we’ve been over there helping them out. And I had a relapse on my back issues; [...]

First, a big thank you to all the wonderful comments on the blogiversary, and a big congratulations to Denise, who won the shawl. It should be in the mail shortly!
So, there has been knitting, but it’s for KP, so I can’t show you. It’s slow going though. Today’s all about the food. [...]

A bulletted post
- Pictures of the cupcakes and the brownie “cupcakes” from 2 weeks ago. The brownies spell out “ABYBAY”, our very affectionate term for the baby. Cupcakes are from here, and the brownies are just my brownies, in cupcake form. I cut out letters out of a piece of cardboard, placed on top [...]

A weekend indoors. Sort of.
As some of you might know already, I was in a car accident a couple weeks ago. My car is fine, though my drivers side mirror is not (though ghetto fabulous duct tape is in, right?). I am fine, except I have had back pain since. This weekend, though beautiful outside, I [...]

I road tripped with 2 friends last weekend to South Carolina for a tea festival. We [...]

Post Mother’s Day post
My boys and I went to play mini-golf in the beautiful weather yesterday. Afterwards (hubby won, but I got a hole in one!), we took a drive, and ended up here with lunch at a tiki bar listening to live music before hitting the roller coaster. Perfect mother’s day. When we headed [...]
