Celebrate the Boy

Okay–I saw this on Made by Rae when it first came up, but neglected to post anything about it. Then my friend Jeana mentioned it on her blog and I’ve seen it on several others, so here goes. February is
month in blogland. Since my little toughie is all boy, I’m joining in. I’ve already cut [...]

I do not think there really is such a time

as 3:30 in the morning. Well, not a time that involves cars, anyway. A time that involves beds, yes. A time that involves feeding sleepy babies, yes. A time that involves driving to the airport? Shudder.

Anyhow. Theresa, the Keyboard Biologist, has committed to improve her house, one room, one month, at a time. Since my house [...]

Can’t be done

In case you were interested, I have determined at this time that seven-minute icing cannot be made with Splenda. Thank you for playing.

Back in Business

Or I would be, if I could find a USB cord so I could post some pictures. There has been knitting. There will be cooking tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I have a commission for a full bridal party’s worth of wedding jewelry and the flowers for the same wedding. To distract you from the fact that [...]

The Mommy and Gideon Show

Day one by ourselves–things are going pretty well. Boy, can this kid eat! For lack of a portable bassinet, here’s where he ended up while I took a bath:

No crafting whatsoever–I’ve knitted one row on one sock since he was born, total.
