Hats!
I had put the green merino/silk that I had spun up aside to make a small clapotis with. Then the hubby complained that he didn’t have a handknit hat. I gave him a couple of yarn options, the green handspun one of them. Of course he would choose the green one. [...]

New smile
A year ago, I got braces. This past Friday, they came off. It was a surprise to me, but I’m thrilled. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out, and I can’t stop smiling. A really bad photo, but the smile is what’s important.
This weekend, the kid and I went on [...]

Chinese New Year

All the wheels together.
We had [...]

The forces are against me
If you’re looking for photos, today you might want to skip this post.
I love my new job. It’s challenging, I’m learning new things, and I’m usually never bored. My one problem with it though, is that I now no longer have free time. I used to have time during my commute to [...]

Socks in the mail
I came home Wednesday to a crapload of mail. Bills, W2s, and a squishy package. The squishy package was all I cared about and was torn into before I even got my coat off. My package from Cristi arrived! She sent the most gorgeous socks (Embossed Leaves) in a gorgeous teal [...]
