Books & Yarn 12/26/2012

Joining Ginny's yarn along today, even thou there isn't one this wednesday (i have to seize the moment when i can). Truth be told, I took this picture on Thursday! Everyone was recuperating yesterday from all the excitement on Tuesday. I can't tell you how long I've wanted to get this cookbook, I've checked it out of the library so many times. Thank you mom for the perfect Christmas present. I am currently knitting a pair or longies and they are coming out nicely.

Yarn Along 12/5/2012

Okay, I'm a bit embarrassed. The project I was working on had 2 pretty big problems, so I frogged it and restarted. It's coming along perfectly now and when I finish it I will post about my boo boos! Anyone who knows me will laugh, because I used to be quite a perfectionist when it came to all things wool, but now, I don't really want to use my brain all that much (maybe when my boys move out in 20 years). Long ago I remember reading a post over at CLEAN, lusa organics (she posted it in August) and it really stuck in my head. And in an attempt to reduce my book obsession, I have started making the odd purchases digitally. I am reading Cleaning House, A Mom's 12 Month Experiement to Rid Her Home of Youth Entitlement. All I can say is that the book is awesome, most of it we already know, but it's good to be reminded, and have those ah ha moments in strategies that are helpful when it comes to our young ones.

My wee babe is getting a wooden kitchen for Christmas and I've set out to make him vegetables. Two carrots done, one more to go. I am using this pattern here. Everyone have a blessed day! This post is inspired by Ginny's Yarn Along here.
