Well I guess I wanted a change right?

Yes, it’s still me.  I thought I’d like a change so I changed my blog theme…I think it’s very fall.  I like natural colors like brown and green so I think it’s pretty and seasonal.
Speaking of natural colors…
I decided to go for a cut and color last night at the hairdresser. I’ve never had [...]

A little bit of vacation!

We went to our cape house for vacation last week in Brewster, MA.
At first we slept, watched movies and ate and drank. I needed that. We took a few trips out on Peter’s dad’s boat…which is for sale by the way to anyone interested. Contact me in comments if you are.

We [...]

Constantine

Anyone remember Constantine Maroulis from American Idol a few seasons ago?
Well I won tickets a couple weeks ago from my local radio station for an intimate lunch time performance.
Peter and I went and it’s in the station’s “music loft”.  There might have been twenty people total there.
They gave us free pizza, salad and sodas then [...]

I’m back…sort of.

Thank you all for your supportive comments, emails and for those close enough to me, phone calls.
I haven’t re-read my post but based on the concerned contact from friends and family it must have sounded bad.  And it was really.  I run on high octane until I crash.  This was the first anxiety attack though [...]

Checking out.

I’m feeling not so good.  Overwhelmed by just about everything in life at the moment.  I think I just need to check out for a while.
I do have some vacation time coming up so I’m going to start trying to be good to myself now and give myself a break.  No self imposed pressure to [...]

I’m sooooo not a model.

But here I am yesterday at work in my finished Green Gable!

Now, Trust me when I say that this top is not as see through as it appears.  The flash clearly does bad things to knit items stretched across one’s humble bossoms.  It really is not see through in person.
You see me leaning in a [...]

Finished Serpentine Socks

I didn’t make it. The deadline for the July Sockamania socks was of course the end of July.
I was four days late though so I didn’t make it in the July contest but I will in August!
These socks took a little longer at least at first with all the cables. By sock #2, [...]

I win!

A while back I entered a blog contest at Carrie’s blog. I was a lucky winner and as a prize she sent me three hanks of lovely chocolate brown, blue sky alapaca! <DROOL>
I have never used this yarn and it just feels fantastic so I am excited to knit up something lovely.
Then, if [...]

I’m Back!

Whew.  It’s been a busy two weeks.  I think things are finally leveling out though.  I wish I had a ton of wonderful knitting and stuff to show you but I was even too busy for that.
I missed the deadline for my July Sockamania Socks.  The Serpentine socks should have been completed on Tuesday but [...]
