"It's a new year and there's gonna be new rules around here!" I quote my mother in law every year, just so I can get to my DH. Hmmmph, I bet the new year looked a lot like the old one after awhile. Well I don't know about new rules, but I'm looking forward to some interesting,exciting times. It's gotta be better that 2011, right? I figured since Mochahantas is busily painting everyone's

It's not like life doesn't keep rolling along, or that Mochantas isn't still up to her antics, because it does and she is. I wondered about what my post would be about after such a long hiatus. Should I throw up a bunch of pictures of what I've sewn and knitted? Do I go on a rant on how my right brained, visual learner boys struggle in a left brained learning system. Do I confess the sin (well

I've been sooo busy filling handbag orders (pics soon), among other things that the end of May just sneaked by. Here's one of the things I've been up to... First, I had to buy and cut the wood @ H.ome D.epot...

I think this sweater is one of those "wear it both ways" deals. I suspect she's wearing it upside down here, but like I said it's probably one of those kinds of sweaters. I don't know if I would wear it, I'm not sure if I'm a dolman sleeve kinda of a girl. I think the contruction is cool. I already made up a small mock up. I'm thinking I want to make it. Gotta be cool yarn...thinking out

Mochahantas, where is Jesus?Im ma heart!I love when she said that in her sweet little voice.Almost 20 years ago, I asked Jesus to move into my heart. Immediately, He pulled up to the worst house in the neighborhood. I was so excited as I ran to meet Him. I had heard about all the things He's done in others. As I led Him up the walkway to the door, chattering, I could sense Him looking around

Mochahantas never ceases to amaze me. First of all she's a girl, a girlie girl. Almost 3 years ago, this not so girlie girl was a mama of 2 boys. Maybe it is the combination of these two things that makes her so expressive. What I love about her is that she can keep herself occupied for long periods of time. Thank goodness! It means I can get stuff done without her "assistance". However,

Well 2011 is well under way, ready or not. I spent New Years' Day, cleaning out and organizing my craft room and was overwhelmed at how much stuff I hadn't touched in years! Books with their tantilizing covers beckoned me from their perch at the craft corner @ Barnes & Noble, each promising intellectually stimulating projects. They now mock me, having never been cracked open since their intial

I'm a passionate person. When I love, I love hard, and when I am pissed, look out. Yeah, I'm kind of a black or white person with little to no gray area. One thing I'm passionate about is humanity but not the Mother Theresa kind of COMpassion. My heart breaks because we can't all "just get along". I hate that people are sooo mean to each other. I hate that "good" people get kicked in the head

Well, maybe. I'll be spending the majority of it confined in a minivan with loud kiddos for 5-6 hours. Oh happy day! DH is the best man in a wedding.

Yesterday morning, Mochahantas and I woke up and looked out of the bedroom window. It was the most meaningful sunrise to date. What we saw was a tiny ball of neon orange in the middle of a periwinkle, dusky sky. All symbolic of the my spiritual emergence out of a rather dark New Year thus far. Characteristically, I rise from recumbency, rather begrudgely, with an immediate start to yet

Really??? I have come under some criticism for "marketing my bags" for the cause of Haiti and being opportunistic. As a few choice cuss words came to mind, I decided to "take every thought captive" and respond with a few of my own questions. Since the world apparently revolves around you and your opinions, maybe I should have just given my things away...hmm then where would the money come from

This morning, I sat racking my brains on how to help. I would love to be able to just go down to Haiti and do something...anything. As I was glued to the GMA, I tried to get some sense of the state of downtown, trying to focus on something familiar, I was just at a loss wishing I could do something. I decide to put up for sale all of my bags, needlerolls and stitch markers for really cheap and

Dad is ok, the hard part is going to be getting back to the US and the restoration for Haiti.

I had been shredding old bills and stuff and just walked away for a moment. Ok it was more than a moment. This is the scene I walked back into.Startled... she picks up the drink."Uh-oh", she says!Who could be mad at that face as she seems to be saying, I better get outta here.As she leave her toil, she pretends like she had nothing to do with it."All that mess making working made me thirsty.

All I can say is life happens...Thanksgiving rolls by then it's Christmas...phew! I finally got the basement all done! Flooring will have to wait. It's a long story! BUT I got my studio y'all. I just didn't really realize how much stuff I had!!! Actually I believe I was really in strong denial. That's it!

I bought a new camera, Nikon coolpix nothing fancy, to replace my other Nikon that suffered an untimely death at the beach last month. Yeah, Hon, cameras don't like water. Anywho, I've been getting my crochet on! You heard right, crochet. I saw this awesome top @ DROPS, that didn't look too "granny" to me. I crocheted it up and as I was trying it on, wouldn't you know DH's said it look like

Mom in law and sis in law came up yesterday. "Let's go out to dinner!" Oh no, I thought, my eye started twitching. "Naw, let's have pizza", hubby chimes in. I shoot him a look like "is you crazy?" He recovers with a diner suggestion. I'm thinking great, I'm sure I can find something there and not lose focus. Focus me, focus! After scanning the menu for about 10 minutes, my eyes settle on

Our basement is being finished. Sooooo contractors have been coming in and out everyday. However, they come when they feel like it. So I feel like a prisoner in my own house. Are they coming now? 15 minutes later...how about now? I would really like to go to the store, sigh I'll wait another 29 minutes. 2 hours later, Cheetos are calling me from the kitchen. I decide to go for a 10 minute walk

Ah, now that the summer has gone and the kiddos are in school, you'd think it would be party central here right? NOOOOOO! It just means I have more time to do the things I couldn't do, with little interruption. Also it's been a construction zone here. I finally got a brand new deck!These boys sure work fast!

After a 2 month hiatus, I found my new BFF! My computer keep shutting down and I thought she'd caught a virus. Since my phone was hooked up to the PC, I couldn't let it go for a coupla days to be fixed. Enter the fabulous folk at GEEK SQUAD!

NimbusFree pattern from Berroco. It was a quick knit. I used 12 balls of Lion Brand Lanscapes...I couldn't resist at $2 bucks a ball. I've already worn the jacket a couple of times. My only regret is that I didn't make it long and it is a bit wide for my 5' 3" frame. My mods: I did make the sleeves longer. These are at my elbow.

The fam and I did a road trip down to South Carolina to visit Grandma. Though chilly, it was lovely not to have a bunch of bulkiness on. 70 degrees on the final days of our stay, made me wish we lived there. Imagine our shock and dismay when we had to wear coats to church on Easter Sunday. Why is it sooo cold still??? We were just at the beach 24 hours ago!!! It was a loooooong drive,

May 7th I took this picture. 6 weeks old here, I only got a hint of the joy she would bring. This child aka Ms Diva is smiling in her sleep! She continues to bring joy to our family daily with that smile. I can't even remember our family without her, she so completes us. Happy Birthday, my Love!

Ms Diva took two steps on her own! She's already got the basement steps down cold, with supervision, of course. The occasional dust bunny will stop her dead in her tracks for further investigation. Not bad, Ms Diva for 16 days away from your birthday.All things knitterly are on hiatus for other pressing goings on. No doubt to resume soon. However, DH has suggested a road trip to MD in May.

Time has come to break the silence. My computer is so slow these days that it's painful to log on. However, I had to take one for readers!

It's been really busy here with the holidays and Ms Diva crawling around! She's 9 months! I can hardly believe it! Where does the time go? In the meatime, knitting has been happening. My eldest, Thing 1 and DH are home this week! So the routine has been shaken up a little but glad to have my happy helper around (Thing 1 not DH, sorry Hon : ) ). What is it about boys and selective hearing?

Sitting here trying to get my little bit of knittting on and I hear a blood curdlin' scream outside. It's Thing 1! Maybe a wolf got 'em? Yet there is no rushing up the deck steps, no crashing through the back screen door or yells for me to call 9-1-1. Maybe daddy is wrestling said wolf to the ground. I go to the kids' bedroom to investigate. Thing 1 in his usual histrionic fashion is having

Though I have been uncharacteristically silent, knitting has been happening and so has life. I absolutely love Fall, the cool mornings and nights energize my soul. Fall always draws me to inner reflection, this year is no exception. Long walks, playing outside with the kids, well ok, sitting on the deck watching them play, reading. Yep, this is my fav time of year, which is probably why I was

In the first three years, neural pathways proliferate wildly as each new experience and stimulus lead to the growth of new connections. The more connections that are made, the more possibilities that exist. Beginning about age three, the connections are pruned and refined, and consolidated with the result that only those that are well used and meaningfully connected to the child’s life remain.

I accept this award for Team SitnKnitNYC! I would like to thank Ravelry to their tiredless efforts in hosting the Ravelympics. I would also like to thank Ms. Diva, who has taught me that victory is not without its trials, etcetera, etcetera... taking a bow.Here is my completed skirt for the event SYNCHRONIZED FLIRTY SKIRT.

YES SIR, MR PRESIDENT, SIR! Tickle it, maybe...The latest addition...my Vera Wang lovely. After all it's for the good of the economy! It was 50% off at Kohl's and reminded me of a bag I once coveted. I think my knitting will happily reside in this one. Anyone signed up for Ravelympics? What's your event? I doing a skirt for ms. Diva's baby dedication.

Wooooooow! It's been awhile! I had to stop knitting and crocheting b'cuz of carpal tunnel...hmm imagine that! I was heading that direction when I was working 5 yrs ago. All the computer work I was doing. Immediately, they ordered ergonomic keyboard and rearranged my desk...that company (Eileen Fisher) really takes care of their people. Now symptoms are popping up again, so I decided to take

We all know that the paper the pattern is printed on disinegrates with one or two uses like a mission impossible secret message. So, when I get a pattern that works such as this Simplicity 6891 pant (which is discontinued apparently), I know that I will want to cut it again and again. Alas, I discovered painter's paper on one of my many trips to LOWE'S. It's like paper bag paper only heavier.

...add to your stash that is! I have plenty of natural Pima cotton cones. I measured a couple cones and there are about 1,100 yards on each. The yarn is bleachable, dyeable and keeps it's sheen. It's a steal at 5 bucks plus shipping. Holla!Here's a close up...Here's what I did with Kool-aid.

I had to go back the Knittingsmith (by the way all links work now. I shouldn't try to blog with a screaming infant in my arms!) The store is still closing this weekend. Hmm, I wonder what happens to the unsold inventory? Here's what I got.Got the books on the previous trip.I've been working on small projects just to have some sense of accomplishment... I made 2 of these mice out of odd balls

Before my mom left, we decided to have a girls' day out, just me, Ma and ms diva. We headed out to Cold Spring, a small town situated on the Hudson River about 20 minutes south of me. We could take a stroll in this quaint antique town and look in the shops, head down to the little plaza on the river and sit on the benches, watch people fish, children run around, you know, then have a little

Thing 1 and 2 with GrandmaI thought I'd sneak in a post while the newest is napping and the boyz are in the driveway with grandma. She's headed back to S. Carolina on Sunday, y'all, pray for me! She's been giving my DH and me a break when the little one wakes up screeching in the middle of the night. *Sigh* this too will pass. For those who have inquired, I did not make

Just a quick note while I convalesce. Rachel came a knockin' early on Friday morning! 10 days before from due date is not a bad thing, thank you, Lord!Drove myself and the boys to the hospital with contractions every 3 minutes. The hospital is 45 miles away (1/2 of those are on the interstate)! Foolishly, I sent my husband to work...well what drama is in "he drove me to the hospital"? LOL!

Add D-rings to the strap, front buckle and zippered pocket inside.With a finished project under my belt, I can now rest.Dag, I'm somewhere under all that belly!

This about as much sleep I'm getting. Now that all rehearsals for the Ressurection Sunday are over, I'll try finishing up that diaper bag. *Yawn*...I finally got around to packing the hospital bag. Now I've got to figure out what to do with the hair. Thanks God, mom will be here tomorrow...I need some sleep, y'all!

I just had to let you know that my girl Gabi has done it again! She surprised us by getting us dinner from this restaurant. I love this family and not just for the things they can do but for the heart they have. I know that when things get really tough, I can count on her to be on her face before the Lord on our behalf. Thank you Gabi and family, God bless you. It was great to have a night

I have finally managed to get it all organized and off to the accountant. To celebrate, I decided to make a little sumthin' for ma'self!

3 weeks to go! I have to confess...I'm not good at home stretches. If this were a foot race, I would have already asked myself, why the hell am I running? And why haven't I stopped? It's darkest before dawn and when I should be hanging on white brown knuckled with GI Joe Kung Foo grip, I decide I've had enough. Lord knows, I'm trying to be a happy pregnant, grateful and all that, but I've

My DH has been in the hospital since last Tuesday for a knee replacement (messed it up with all the sports: triathalons, baseball, soccer and oh yeah "touch" football) As if the stressation of being out to here with 2 little ones wasn't enough, the anesthesiologist messed up his spinal and he woke up screaming while they were cutting! Then there was the mixing up of his meds with his
