Graphic novels & comic books just fascinate me! I pick up a few here & there whenever they grab my attention and I have had many marathon archive sessions online. Last year at the Knit & Crochet show, I found a new comic book that made my knees go weak. Handknit Heroes combines 3 things that I absolutely love...comics, knitting & a free pattern!! I was able to pick up volume 1 & volume 2 and get

I really enjoy reading the anticraft website. They have some fabulous, wacky & every so often, disturbing knitting projects! I am always so excited when they put a new issue up & I love all the knitting projects but most of the time, there is no..."I have to make this now!!". Well I found my "have to make now" project. It is the Creeping Jenny! Joann's here I come :) TTFN

Wow...I really did a great job on those resolutions!! So much going on, but not a lot to say. Been working on stash busting. Finished projects include: booga bag, sunflower bag, rosy posy tea cosy and a chunky cable knit bag. I have been continually working on some knit picks afghan patterns:  the retro throw in greens & purples and the new traditions afghan in bold colors. Well...that is all

Here is the wrap-up since the last post:Thanksgiving was very good. Normal family meal, but very fun time.Christmas was way too much snow!! we got snowed in for 2 weeks & my daughter missed a couple days d/t school closure. I did have to laugh because Portland just shuts down when it snows. Nothing was open, the roads were empty of cars, and no one was going anywhere. It was very peaceful.I

Thank goodness the election is over. I am so ecstatic that Obama won. I think he is the breath of fresh air that this country needs. This whole election has been a pretty happy process around my household (we are all Obama supporters) but I have been very upset by comments my daughter has been picking up at school. For weeks now, practically every evening I hear..."Samuel says..." and then the

My mom has had a Red Hat group for a while now & being her only daughter...I am in the group too! It is pretty fun & somehow most of our meeting end up at restaurants, so I guess I can't complain too much :) For instance, this last Saturday we had a pajama party...breakfast in your pajamas, great idea. Breakfast at Denny's in your pajamas...a little intimidating! But we all survived & have

Today I ran across the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games Scarf project (yes, I know I am a bit late). This is one cause that I can absolutely get behind. My Uncle is mentally handicapped & he had competed in the regional games many times. He no longer competes, but our family still supports the Special Olympics when we can. Here is an official explanation from the World Games homepage:WANT

What is it about the pattern of the day that gets me crazy? Every day I go to Annie's Attic to check out the free pattern of the day. Half of the patterns I will never, ever make but I print them anyway! Why is this. Is it the threat that I will never see the pattern again...you must print this pattern today because it will never be offered again and you will never find it again, no matter how

Last week the Fall issue of Knitty was released & they have some fabulous patterns (like usual). I wanted to report on this the day it arrived, but like usual the site was too jam packed to check anything out. So here are my top 3 patterns that I have to make (in no particular order):1. The OpArt blanket. OK no, I don't have any babies to knit for, but this is just a fabulous blanket! I want it

Last night I was unable to upload any photos of the birthday party. Our lack of food in the house prompted us to go to the grocery store :) And since all my pics are at home rather than here at work, it won't happen today either. So for your enjoyment, I have included some of my darling daughter to get you through the day...enjoy. DD at Depoe Bay, Oregon. We were waiting to get in the car &

This last couple of weeks have been crazy. My lovely little girl turned 7! Yes, I am feeling older every day. She, being the princess that she is, had 3 birthday celebrations. Her birthday party was on friday the 5th, but her daddy had to work until 11pm that night...so we had a Korean dinner on daddy's day off (with presents of course). Then I allowed her to open one present on her actual

Well for now I have given up on the Seascape stole. There are a few reasons for this...1. I was really getting frustrated with the pattern. Not because of the pattern itself, but because as I said before, I hate reading charts. 2. I really wasn't sure if I had enough yarn (I was only hoping I did...but it would have been a very close call). 3. I saw the Mobius cowl on Knitty Gritty & had to make

Currently I am working on the Seascape Stole from Knitty.com and it is killing me!Here is why it is killing me: 1. It is lace and I have never attempted lace.2. I am working from a chart and I really dislike charts.3. Lace is something you need to concentrate to work and I never have a quiet time to work. 4. The pattern recommended straight needles and straight needles are very cumbersome. Here

To some of you this may not be a big thing, but when you have a Korean husband & your rice cooker breaks...all hell breaks loose!The ironic part of all of this is that when we went on vacation we bought a new rice cooker for my great aunt in Anatone!

I tried to explain that farm work isn't fun when it is chores, but she argued her point til my head was spinning. Yes, she is a city girl!

There were moments when my cousin & his sister, my aunt & my uncle had to turn away or just take a short breather.

I haven't been keeping up with this blog lately & now that I know what I know I feel terrible.Today I started going through my links just to check on everyone & I found out that Shawn of Korea life blog (later a china life blog) committed suicide back in May! I was so shocked. I really wanted to buy his book and actually emailed him about it last year, but for some reason I never got around to it

Today I snapped at some lady who lives around the corner from my office. I feel terrible about it but she ticked me off. I parked my car & she was waiting until I got out of the car. She told me that I was taking up too much room & needed to pull up a bit. This just irked me because yesterday I had to park around the corner due to the way people normally space their parking.

I picked up a book on making Knitted Babes & I love it!! This is the first babe that I have made. Her name is Missy Mae. Not only is it a country sounding name but it's also what I call my daughter. I love making them & and they are super easy. They combine my two loves Knitting & Sewing. I hope to make many more in the future :)TTFN

Well Last week we ventured out to the children's museum. Amelia was sick all weekend but I figured since she was feeling better & medicine seemed to be helping and since we have had the plans for a month...well we went with it.

While finishing a pieceis the plan, you still love the process, andcan't imagine a day going by without givingsome time to your yarn.

Yes, I have been very neglectful!! Don't hate me because it's busy :) Things have been nuts. Between an unusually busy work month, the Christmas rush & trying to finish projects for the holidays, I have been swamped!

On September 12th I made a vow to myself...well since then a few things happened. My grandma gave me stacks of old crafting magazines from the 60's - 90's & Dylan's birthday party is this weekend. So to make a long story short....I am making a scarf for Dylan, started two different crochet afghans and a few penguin items for my dad! Darn those magazines!! So many great patterns!Again I will try

No, I’m not starting to get preachy in my posts, but I wanted to share what has been going on with me…This has been a really hard week for me and I wasn’t exactly sure why until the Sunday church service.

I ran across a few new links in the last week or so that I thought I would share with everyone. My love of books helped me to stumble across Libraries for Dummies. An excellent blog from a mysterious librarian who has some of the funniest passages I have ever read. Absolutely check this one out. Also, for the crocheters out there check out Crochet Me.

Unfinished Objects (UFO's) litter my house. As I have posted before, I love to start projects but I have a really hard time finishing them. I am making a new vow for this fall (when knitting kicks into high gear), I am trying to cut down my UFO's to 3 projects at a time, and this includes knitting, crochet, quilting, cross-stitch and sewing. Will this be possible? Probably not at first, but I am

Recently I read the Elm Creek Quilts series and I am now obsessed with quilting! So I went to my best source for all my crafting needs...great grandma!She gave me a dozen books on quilting. I have made tons of quilt squares and am now working on my first quilt. I decided to make a puff or biscuit quilt for Amelia's birthday. The last two nights I have been cutting squares.

Vacation was pretty good...of course I didn't get nearly enough done, but I made a dent in the spring cleaning!Thursday I spent half the day with my husband. It was great. We went to breakfast then did a little shopping. It was an interesting experience not having our daughter around (see last post). He went off to work, and then I worked on the house. I cleaned my daughter's pit of a room and it

Thursday & Friday the daycare was supposed to be closed, but it won't be...I decided to take the vacation days anyway!! Rarely do I get a day to myself. I am so excited! Yes, I will be doing cleaning and getting things together for the church garage sale, but I will be alone!I really love my family, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful...but having time to myself is so rare these days that I had

Socks are doing well, much easier now that I figured them out...of course I haven't hit the heel yet, so we'll see!Lighthouse cross-stitch for father's day isn't getting done, but will make a great Christmas gift! I wanted to make the cross-stitch into a small pillow but I just don't have the time. The good thing about all this is that I also bought a lovely house cross-stitch to do for mom, so

I started a new knitting experience last night...Socks! I have wanted to make socks since the day I started knitting, but the thought of 5 knitting needles at once has always intimidated me. I ran across the Lion Brand Magic Strips yarn (which makes strips when you knit...way groovy) and knew that I had to try the sock pattern on the label. Last night I was actually able to go shopping without

Jackson has been found Not Guilty on all 10 charges.Well, Duh! The case was weak on both sides. Whether Jackson did it or not, you can't convict someone without strong witnesses and proof. Neither side had it! Defending someone without proof is fairly easy, prosecuting them without it is practically impossible. Oh well, at least it's over!TTFN

The craziness has finally started to fade...I have been so busy since the moment I got back to work! Vacation was wonderful...a lovely week of rest & relaxation. Now my mom is on vacation so I am not only catching up on the work that I left but also the work she left for me! So yeah...I'm a bit busy. Just thought I'd check in and let y'all know I'm still alive :)TTFN

Vacation is almost here...Thank God!! I am so ready for a vacation. One week of rest & relaxation. I am looking forward to this next week for a couple of reasons. One is that I have a ton of projects I would like to finish up. The other is that I need to do some major spring cleaning. We'll see what happens!So...if I don't check in this week, no worries.

Yesterday my mom wrote insurance for a new client and on the occupation question she found out that the client is a kindergarten teacher in the Parkrose school district. Of course my mom started asking questions about her little princess and the school rules. To put everyone’s minds at ease, she said that my daughter will be able to start kindergarten next year...if she is ready. All my daughter

I've been trying to write this post for 2 days now! I was very irritated Sunday afternoon, as I have been for the last three Sundays. The problem is a group of teenagers at our church. I know church can be boring when you are in high school, and you want to be cool. But learn some respect! If you don't want to be there, go home. If you are forced by your parents to be there, then at least have

I have loaded myself down with so many projects that my head is spinning. Currently I am halfway done with a knitted baby blanket, 3/4 done with a wool big cable knit sweater, started a lighthouse cross stitch for dad & buying the materials for a knitted Korean traditional purse from the book Folk Bags. Why do I do this to myself? I get so excited about new projects that I just can't wait. I know

The Sims Godlike experience is out of control. So here is what happened in my lunchtime playing...I set up 3 characters husband, wife & child named after each member of my family. During game play I was asked if we wanted to adopt a baby...we did. The baby kept crying which of course makes the wife tired so the husband cooks breakfast. While the husband is cooking breakfast he sets the kitchen on

I just found out my daughter will not be starting kindergarten in the fall of 2006. To start in the fall of 2006 she will have to be 5 on or before September 1st....her birthday is on September 5th. I am so upset about all of this. Not only is she ready for school, but we are ready for her to start school. She is just too smart for her own good and needs the stimulation of a school setting, and

On my last birthday, my husband bought me The Sims Bustin' out for Gamecube. I played it a bit, then got distracted with other projects...But lately those crazy Sims have started taking over my life. I am now playing every night after my daughter goes to bed. I am also playing the original Sims on the computer everyday during lunch. What is it about that little diamond? What is it about

So...I'm checking out my favorite knitting newsletter and I just don't get it. Why would anyone wear this? If you are wearing a sundress, a sweater is just too hot and if you are that cold, put on a whole sweater. I'm sorry but I have never been in a situation where just my cleaves were cold!!TTFN

I just love Nordstrom's. Two years ago my mom bought me a pair of black, shiny Dansko's. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever had in my life. I wore them every day for two years and they were starting to wear thin. The seams were ripping and I just wore them to death. My mom told me to take them back to Nordstrom's to get a new pair. Yes, they are a hundred dollar shoes, but I

My mother has finally convinced me to join her crazy mad hatters! It all started when she was down south on vacation, she noticed these ladies all over town in red & purple hats & boas. They all seemed to be very close, giggling & having the time of their lives.

When I was 10 my gramma taught me to knit. I loved it, but being the impatient 10 year old that I was...I got frustrated at the slow progress and gave it up. When I hit 30 I realized that I didn't have any hobbies. This may not be a big deal to some, but in my family they are all big on hobbies. Everyone in my family is crafty & loves their hobbies. We have quilters, woodworkers, knitters,

We had no idea what to expect, as a matter of fact I thought we were going to a play! "Matters of the Heart" turned out to be a fabulous one woman musical by a Broadway legend. Patti Lupone has such a beautiful range & the comic wit that forces those “laugh out loud” embarrassing
