It may be like this where you live all winter, but it’s a freak occurrence here. I did hope to get some pics of the icey bowed pines and the amazing muffins I’ve made this morning but my camera needs some help. Luckily my mom knows more than I do about these things and it looks like no pics for a while. I’ve started my own damn sweater finally. I’m knitting the Blanket Cardigan from Sarah Dallas Knitting in a heathery green Cascade 220. It’s the sweater featured on the cover. Not too exciting but really pretty in it’s loose construction and simplicity.
WORST dog mom ever
I have already managed to not keep my New Year’s resolution to wake up earlier (more often) and walk the dogs before work. I can’t believe I could resist this face this morning….so sad. I’ll excuse myself ‘cuz it’s deadline…but it is unfair. Callie, I promise to get home as early as possible to walk you today…rain or shine, looks like rain.
I plan to start my first adult size sweater this weekend (finally) and sew a cushion cover for my porch swing. I will be testing recipes for work this weekend… migas, granola, blacberry blue corn muffins, and pear rosemary bread. I also need to plant some iris bulbs, even if it’s late. Not a bad way to spend a cold (by Texas standards), rainy, three day weekend.
The longer I live in Texas the more I am ready for Spring to begin the DAY after my birthday. I mean, without the snow…winter can be bleak.
Capricorns Rule!
Today is my birthday….obviously this photo was taken more than a couple years ago… It’s remarkable how many of the crafty bloggers I read regularly are also celebrating birthdays this week… Happy Birthday ladies. Sadly my birthday has fallen on the magazine’s final deadline. Maybe not too much fun, but there is a cake and some flowers from my fellow production folk. I think tonight I will get in my pajamas and make some pancakes for dinner (think the hubbie will be home late too), soak in a hot tub, watch ANYTHING on TV and knit. These are the kinda birthdays one dreads at 25, but relishes at 42. wow, 42.
