Photo Friday: The Work Notes Editon

Work is really busy.  I was out of town for a training and I thought I'd share my notes.  I know I probably shouldn't doodle, but it actually keeps me from fidgeting when people are going on and on and on and on.....

Anyhoo, I've got so much to tell from my Blog Holiday.  I'll catch up soon!

Thursday night:  knitting and a mocha with friends!

Photo Friday: the Tweenager Edition

This is Hope's room.  Yes, I'm letting her wallpaper her wall with teenyboppers. It looks kinda creepy like something from One Hour Photo:

Blargh.  I'm sick for the second time this year.  This time with a miserable sinus infection.  I'm doing nothing but sipping tea and blowing my nose.  I am going to attempt some reading as well.

Photo Friday -- New Tattoos!

Tea on my left arm and coffee on my right. Drawn and tattooed by my husband, Sam.

Photo Friday: Wednesday

On Wednesdays I take Atticus to daycare at his regularly scheduled time (7:30) even though I don't go to work until noon (I work a split shift).  I typically use the four-plus hours to run errands, but this past Wednesday I had a little baking fest.  Actually, I just made 90 sugar cookies.  I had other cookies in the freezer because I've been doing my holiday baking a bit at a time.

It was a lovely day: coffee, Bing crooning Christmas tunes, a steady rain, and rolling out cookie dough.

The trays and treat-bags were a hit at work, so I guess everyone wins!

Photo Friday: Finished Cowl

I finished up a warm and snuggly cowl Wednesday night.  I made it extra loose, because I don't like stuff strangling me.  Despite the awful splitting I love Homespun yarn.

Can you name that Charles Dickens' character?  He's one of my favorites...

Blueberry Oatmeal Pecan Cookies...




A basketweave dish cloth. Most of it is knitted and then I did a crochet thingamajig border...

Cheery Cherry Muffins...


Basketweave Cloth...


I'm in a makerish mood.  I have plans to bake more Cherry Muffins, something new with blueberries, and a chocolate plum cake.  I'm also knitting more dish cloths for all the marrying/newlymoved/birthdaying folks I know.  I've also started a project for a stitch-along, but I couldn't take pictures because the camera batteries are dead.  Oh yes, and I think I'm starting a low-key knitting group at the coffee shop.  Oh yeah!  And crafts, I have plans to make somethings with Hope and a few felt owls.

I hope you all are out there making something.  It is so satisfying and peaceful!
