Project Linus

Today was a fun day! Erin and I went to Parkland Parish and participated in Make A Blanket Day with Project Linus. Those ladies are always so much fun and we amazingly get a lot accomplished in amongst all the giggling and talking. Erin tied two quilts and I got one mostly finished. We came home with about 7 quilts to work on. They showed me how to do the coolest quilt as you go eye spy quilt and I have the fabric to make at least 3 for Linus.

Matt made us a delicious spaghetti dinner tonight and we watched Steel Magnolias and Notting Hill; while I tidied my sewing corner so I can get busy on baby quilts for Isaac. It's been a lovely evening at home with the kids and dogs.

Now off to put my clean laundry away before I go to sleep.

Feeling sorry for myself and my 1st hat!

Doctor was right - don't you hate it when they are right. He apologized to me last week because he said things were going to be rough. So I've had a headache ever since and I'm crabby as crabby can possibly be and I'm bloated and people are really super irritating to me and and and.... And then there is the issue of the crap in my nose! I get an infection, not like a typical sinus infection but an infection because of all the snot and the rawness in my nose. So he says stick this on a q-tip and shove it up your nose; don't doctors usually tell you NOT to put things up your nose?

oooh, think I will post some more photos........first the funny story......so Thanksgiving weekend 2007 I'm sitting at a friend's house knitting away just trying to keep myself together and working on scarves for the homeless with my scrap yarns. So my friend who is in the early stages of fighting cancer, "you can make scarves for homeless people, but not make the cancer patient a hat?" So I promised him a hat, this is the first one I made and I goobered on the top part where it all came together, but his 2nd hat looked much nicer. I was just proud of myself for knitting in the round and finishing something!

Psssst...don't remind him that I haven't finished the matching scarf, hey he got the matching black set already and the blue is just so boring in a scarf.

Snowstorm 2008

So here in the great northwest we had some incredible snow this winter. I didn't upload all of them, just a couple, you will get the idea. I had this brilliant idea to stay with friends who live one house from the bus stop and ended up snowed in for 5 days twice, lol. So here are the adirondack chairs in their backyard. This is the street by the bus stop.

This is my bus struggling to get up the hill. I got off and walked faster than bus.

One of the problems in Seattle with the snow is that Mayor McCheese doesn't believe in de-icer, he is so adamant against de-icer that you would think it was immoral. So, they spread like 12 tons of sand instead and the roads were just a horrid mess.

I am alive!

Decided it was time to do some work on the old blogaroo. Finally uploading pictures that have been on my camera card for months.

Trying to get energetic on this extra day off work that doubles as a Monday. But with the dog snoring next to me and nothing pressing to do I'm not doing so well at getting energetic.

Really thinking about the sewing machine in the living room and how I could get out there and do something fabulous.

Also thinking I could drag my carcass over to Comcast and exchange the modem thingy that comes from them because its not working right and making a clacking sound.

Photos are uploaded so let's see what I can find to post.
