I have found my voice again
Just wanted everyone to know that. I will blog more about that next week.

Of Socks and Hats
Remember this hat? http://shellssells.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/knitting/ Well officially I decided to take it apart so I could have a complete pair of socks. I decided to do so for a couple reasons. First, I really am excited about my socks. Secondly, my brother won’t wear the hat so it is relatively (pun intended ) useless to [...]

More Potty training
Ok, if you don’t want to read the good, the bad, and the ugly of potty training you may not want to read this post.
My daughter has been doing really well with her potty training. She is now staying in big girl undies almost all day at school. The exception is nap time where they [...]

Life’s simplest pleasures
Last evening, as it was getting cooler, and my daughter was getting ready for bed, I took her out on the porch and we sat in the rocking chair. I rocked her and sang to her as she put her head on my shoulder, and I wished this moment would never end. Though [...]

I really must….
I really want to make this shirt http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTisabella.html perhaps in a coral color. Well, that is the dream anyhow, I will see what yarns I have around that might be appropriate for this project. I suspect I will have to find a way to lengthen it.
On my socks, I can either take apart the hat for [...]

I Have a Sock!!!
Yes, I have a sock, I never thought I could do it, but I have a sock. Yes, I am aware it takes 2.

“What if Cartoons Got Saved?”
Link to lyrics of the song I would like to write about.
I heard this song on the radio this morning. It has been out for awhile. It always annoys me. There is rather an obvious reason for that I think but I couldn’t identify what it was that was annoying me on [...]

Sleep makes everything better
I had a much better evening with my daughter last night. Neither of us was grumpy and she was being very good. Very Good! She went to bed early and willingly and slept till 5 when she woke up coughing. That means I got a good amount of uninterrupted sleep. I do not by any [...]

Sickness and Grumpiness
My daughter is again sick. Not really sick, but a cold and a cough. She is fever-less, but the cough keeps her up at night. Which keeps me up at night. It also makes her grumpy to not feel great. Which makes me grumpy. I hate walking the balance of being nice cause she [...]

I caved
After completing 2 WIP’s, I caved and cast on for socks. I have always wanted to give them a try and I am bored with WIP’s. At what point do you decide that a WIP is no longer worth it as your interest has officially waned and you cannot collect it again? *sigh*

Another WIP
I knew I had to take out a bunch of rows to get to a completed pattern so I could start a border. Finishing the pattern was not an option as I was out of yarn. I couldn’t handle the thought of patiently “unknitting” so I thought I would try ripping. But I was scared [...]

Too busy
Too busy and too tired. I can’t even get out a coherant though so basically blogging is out for now. Maybe it will slow down a little soon. I can cross my fingers but I won’t hold my breath.
My daughter did manage to go to school two days in a row with big girl underwear [...]

Running
On Sunday, the weather was beautiful so I thought I would take my daughter out for a walk. I got her in the stroller and we headed out for the nearest trail. Since it was such a lovely day, the trail was full of people, mostly joggers. My daughter was enchanted with [...]

Sweet Child of Mine
I gave my daughter a bath today. After she got out of the tub I let the water out but didn’t pick up her toys. I had forgotten about them by the time I put her down for a nap but when I next entered the bathroom, I realized that she, somewhere along the line, [...]

Happy Feet
Last night I took my two and a half year old daughter to her first movie in a theater. The tickets at the theater we went to were only a buck each for matinee. We saw Happy Feet and she loved it! She was good for the whole movie, singing and dancing along. I will [...]

WIP
I have decided that before I start any additional knitting projects, I will finish at least 3 works in progress that I have been storing for about a year. In order to hold myself to that goal, I will blog it. There is, in addition to that, one crochet project that needs to be repaired. Since [...]

Finished projects and cute kids
I finished my “fetching” gloves last night:
And I discovered that my daughter is getting enough hair to do stuff with. I did not discover that alone, I went to pick her up at daycare and she had 2 cute ponytails in her hair. Apparently a teacher got sick of hair in her eyes.

A lovely thing.
Someone did something wonderful for me yesterday. And though I would guess she would not want to be showcased, I did want to make it clear how much she is appreciated.
My post yesterday emotionally took it all out of me. And it got various reactions. Which is ok, because I spoke my mind, and it [...]

Broken
I am broken. And I am ready to fix it.
Prior to my (now failed) marriage I was spontaneous. I felt free to speak my mind. I didn’t need tons of reassurances from outside sources. I trusted that what I had to say people would want to hear whether it be funny [...]

One of my first projects.
I made this little dress for my daughter right after she was born. I was new to knitting at the time and was rather happy with how the project turned out. This year she might actually be able to wear it! I made it quite big as I was sure that I would not finish [...]

Dressed up
My daughter is looking particularly cute today so I thought I would share.
I was told she looks like she is thinking, perhaps about plotting a military coup!

Fat Lip
She got a fat lip at school the other day. This is a picture of it. Hard to see, but you can now see 2 white spots where she bit it well.
Second picture is of her, she reminds me of a cat the way she steals my knitting to lay on. She is not picky, [...]

Drama Queen
Today was drama queen’s first day back after getting her wisdom teeth “cut” out. She was in my office only briefly today. While she was here though, one of the faculty members asked her if she was staying all day. He hadn’t heard that she had gotten her wisdom teeth extracted. She said “Yes, I [...]
