These days I am definitely starting to feel the weight of my pregnancy. I’ve got another six weeks until my due date, and thus far everything has been good, I have been feeling fine, no typical pregnancy-related problems to speak of. Between the past two nights of tours and classes, and not getting sleep, andContinue reading “In need of some rest.”

In teaching, there are students and moments you question whether this is the job for you. It can be trying, (especially when you are sick and pregnant!) However there are also little moments that totally make up for it. This is the baby blanket that four of the girls who are in my knit/crochet clubContinue reading “One Reason I Go Back Every Day”

This weekend I overworked myself, pushing past my prego limits (because I hate admitting that I can’t do as much as I was before), then realized that the itch in my throat was not from having to stand up and teach a class after not doing so for over two months, but from nasty bacteriaContinue reading “Taking it Easy”

Yesterday was knit group meeting. We had decided before hand that we were going to destash some yarn (mostly from Mia) and donate a few dollars for Relay for Life. So I had brought some yarn to contribute, and everyone took some home, even me, although I only got two things that were already promised.Continue reading “Walking the Talk”

Although I haven’t gotten a flood of books. I had a goal on my 101 list to not buy books for 365 days. That meant any books, unless someone else bought them for me as a gift. I reached that goal on Jan 24th of this year, and continued to refrain from literary purchases. Then,Continue reading “I broke the dam…”

At the grocery store recently, they had fingerling potatoes on sale. That was good. What was better is that they came in purple! I love purple potatoes, not because there is much special about flavor or anything, I just think the color is so cool! I made some boiled herb potatoes out of one batch,Continue reading “'Dem's Small Potatoes!”

For the past few weeks, all I want to do is knit lace. And not any lace, but shawls and complicated wraps. I have been adding lace to my queue on Ravelry like crazy, if anyone has been looking there. (I think I added about 10 in the past few weeks.) But then I readContinue reading “A bit of a jag..”

Since I have little more than two months left until baby makes an appearance around here, I am trying to get some of the stuff I want to done. I have to finish all of the sewing for the nursery, and of that, the most odious is going to be the curtains. I want toContinue reading “Can You Iron Too Much?”
