Wrights
I don’t know what you all think of this above photo. But I think Wrights needs to update that little photo there. I found it extremely funny that I went into the store to find some trim and this here photo was staring up at me. It must be 20+ years old. In fact I think I remember this photo being in my mom’s sewing supplies. And let’s just say that she only used her supplies every few years. Now I should also say that I found their product to be excellent. There are no flaws there, but come on… update your packaging.

I have been trying to post for almost a week now. And the frustration is starting to hit. See we have this old camera. Ever since we first got it it’s had problems. Usually the batteries are always dead (the camera drains them in less then a day). But now the thing is taking on new quirks. Like dying whenever I push the take a picture button or quiting responding mid picture taking. So here you are… a picture from a few weeks ago.
Another BOM photo. Sorry about the wrinkles. I didn’t press it when I got it out of the container for this photo.
Little Toes
Those little toes. Perfect, huh? Well, I think so anyway. How funny they do something so simple, yet it just strikes you in such a way. She is still small, but growing so much. And such a girl, well sometimes anyway.
I have started my little ms trouble tank. I really like the colors together. I think I am doing the color change correctly, if not, then it’s good enough anyway. (I don’t think the knitting police will be sent anyway)
I have been listening to Lime & Violet’s podcast. They make me want to try to find a local SnB. I know a new knitting guild was created just 2 months ago. And they meet again soon. I might check them out.

Today I took my very first culinary class at a local college. I am trying to decide between a degree in Textiles or one in Culinary Arts. I decided to take some classes in both fields. It was very interesting. We even got an assignment! Who would have thought I’d ever get excited about having homework!
Well, I saw on a blog today a little list I found amusing. So I decided I should try this also. But I am too lazy busy to do 100, so I thought I’d go for 10. I know you all are holding your breath (ha ha), but here’s 10 little things about me….
1. I never thought I’d end up as “crunchy” as I’ve become as a mom. I’d have said “cloth diapers, YUCK!”
2. I almost never drink milk.
3. My angel baby, Madaline, will turn 3 heavenly years on the 27th.
4. I would have never been as active on the internet if it hadn’t been for her.
5. I love staying home with my kids, but I fear I’m losing my mind some days.
6. I used to have a pierced tongue and navel!
7. I haven’t had any alcoholic beverage in over 4 years. Being pregnant does that to you.
8. I am astonished everyday by how some moms treat their children.
9. I painted my toenails for the first time in 5 years when my ds got baptized in April.
10. I didn’t learn sew until I got married in 2000.
I also started my Knitting World Cup project! It is very interesting. Much better then the beginner scarf I’ve been working on
for the class I took at String Of Purls. Which I have started over for the second third time. But I am attempting the Tychus for DH’s birthday. I have never attempted short rows nor color changing before. I find it very very exciting.
This magazine to the left is one I ordered last week. I’m very anxious to recieve it. I feel in love with one pattern I saw reviewed on Pattern Review.

Don’t you just LOVE the curve on it. Boys clothing is so very boring, this piece is a welcome change. Can’t wait to try it!
Age Setting In
I’m old. Okay really I’m only 28, but I feel old. Last Sunday I tried to play soccer again. I don’t know why I thought I could run like that again without some sort of training. But I tried it anyways. Bet you didn’t know one 30min half could last 1hr, did ya? (and btw, there are two 30min halves) Oh, and I did the most amazing thing in the first 5 mins. I attempted to run backwards. Backwards I tell you. You most certainly can guess what happened next. I feel flat on my a**. It was rather funny though, and a bit embarrassing too! I am glad to tell you I didn’t pass out or lose my lunch. But I felt horrible after. My poor ankle still hurts today (4 days later). I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m a bit afraid of this Sunday’s game.
But I did have my most wonderful knitting class on Saturday!!!! I love it very much. But I did find I took a class that is a bit slower then I had wished.
All we did on Saturday was learn to cast on and the knit stitch. I was hoping to learn purl (really I have already taught myself that), changing colors, maybe a bit about different yarn types, etc. I did pick out my yarn for my beginner scarf. I have gotten bored with it though. I remembered today that I have only until Saturday to finish it. And here’s the kicker, I am going to FROG the entire thing so far and start over. I have gotten DH to agree to let me take some sort of class, be it knitting or sewing or whatever, once a month. I call it my sanity therapy.
Also I see the Knitting World Cup starts tomorrow. I am doing the present (hat) for DH for it. I figure it’s a great project for me. Having little kids severely limits my time.
