Literally. Baby Jesus that is. Every year our neighbors host a live nativity at their farm. I’ve never gotten to go to it in the past as there has always been something else going on that night. This year they asked if they could borrow some sheep for it and I agreed. So of course …
I know, I’ve not been on here much of late. Alas, there hasn’t been a lot for me to write about lately. Winter is a time to hunker down, stay warm, and plan for spring here. Christmas was nice. Lots of lovely and thoughtful presents. I got a lot of books that will hopefully help …
There are days that I feel like I’m on a treadmill and then there are days that feel as though I am on an elliptical machine. In my universe, an elliptical machine is the devil. Probably invented sometime during the Spanish inquisition by the same man who invented panty hose, SPSS, and stiletto heels. I cannot …
So, today I nearly finished my most recent monkeys, but I had left my sewing-up needle at home. However, I really wanted to get the almost completed monkeys off the needles so I could cast on another pair. What to do? So, I thought about what I had around me. I was at the ISU …
I feel like I’ve been working on this blanket for little Matthew forever, even if it really hasn’t been all that long. It’s just that it’s, well, boring. With my normal scrapghans, I can change color whenever I feel like it, thus alleviating the boredom of non-stop half-double crochets. However, with this blanket, there’s no …
After having a pretty rough week today I got the nicest surprise in the world. It was a Christmas/Birthday package from my friend Barbro in Finland with all sorts of lovely goodies in it for me! There were these awesome wrist warmers (which I put to use as soon as I took the picture of …
One of my brother’s nanny goats had twin kids either last night or this morning. I haven’t gotten to see them together yet and I didn’t get a good picture of either one of them as I didn’t want to freak their momma out any more than I already had. I’m sure that y’all will …
So I have started my spinning again. I couldn’t for the first few weeks that I was here because the wheel was in transport. Then once it got here I needed to find the rest of the bits of it as they were packed away in the bewilderingly labeled boxes. By the time that I …
So yeah, not a lot coming from this corner for a bit. I’ve been, you know, busy y’all! So, where were we last? Oh yeah! I went to Florida to deal with house and storage unit and to catch up with my wonderful Florida peeps. The damage to my house wasn’t nearly as bad as …
So, Christmas is fast approaching. For anyone not believing me, just go into any department store and check-out the Christmas displays and music piping from the ceilings. Christmas is on it’s way people! This year, Christmas isn’t going to be a big one for me. With the move and no job and everything else going …
