Finally!
We finally had just enough sun today to get the measurements for the Noon Day Project we are participating in. Yippee! I get the feeling that much of what we are doing is beyond his understanding. However, today when we were taking the measurements he had an “oh wow!” moment when he found he could [...]

Busy, busy
For not planning to do much, we sure had a busy day. My priority was to replace the pillows for Bob and I. Bob slept on the one I had gotten recently and had trouble sleeping with it too. It is just too firm. So off to target we went to get them with a [...]

Feelin like a zombie
I’m not sleeping very well. This may sound crazy, but I think it has something to do with my new pillow. I got a firmer one thinking it would help my neck but not only does my neck feel worse… I can’t sleep. Or it could just be my obsessiveness over next year’s assignments. I [...]

M is for Monoceros
“The monoceros has the head of a stag, the tail of a boar, elephant’s feet and a horse’s body. A horn four feet long projects from his head. This creature was derived from the Indian rhinoceros.” Here’s my version all inked and callig’d, based on the one in the Aberdeen Bestiary. I’d originally planned on [...]
Finished Object: Pokemon Socks
Finally! They are done and on DS’s feet before he grew out of them. He likes them and says they are comfy. I like that they are done and I can move on to my next knitting project guilt-free. I’ve been working on these for 7 months. Yikes! And with that, I am off to [...]

Figured out the categories second level. The sidebar widget doesn’t include them but the standard sidebar does [...]
