Weekend Progress

Before I go any further, I forgot to show you all the top of the hat on Friday. Here is the finished squiggliness!


The other thing I made* this weekend was a little wagon for Nathan's babies.

He was very excited about the wagon when he returned from the Montessori School open house. He carted his babies all over the house in it.

Then he wanted to ride in it. Being the doting Aunt, I was more than happy to oblige. He actually could sit in it, kind of, and hold his feet up and go for a ride. Gretchen came downstairs at one point and she said Nathan looked so proud of his little wagon. Yay!

He's about 19 months now, and he's making animal noises that are hilarious, and Gretchen says he runs around the house asking for "Nana! Papa! Mimi!". Awww....he loves me!

Sunday I decided I needed to get some work done on Frog. I decided to ditch the legs, arms, hands, and feet I had made for him. The pattern calls for making separate hands and feet that then need to be sewn to the arms and legs, which then need to be sewn to the frog. Well, you know how I feel about sewing. Instead, I made arms and legs the same way I made the squiggles for the hat. I think they turned out pretty good, and were a heck of a lot easier! Tonight I hope to finish up the strap and other little pieces.

What has become of the Ribby Cardi and Petroleum Blanket? Well, the petroleum blanket is sitting in a plastic bag (how appropriate), very neglected. I finally ordered a zipper for the Ribby Cardi, so I should be able to show off that FO very soon!

I am so glad you added a note that you assembled the wagon. I was wondering where you picked up the metalworking skills.

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then

I Need a New Word for "Perfect"

Image
I just spent what can only be described as quite possibly one of the most perfect weekends of my life, thus far. I'm racking my brain trying to think of a weekend that has felt more "right" and I just can't. I think this was one of those rare life moments where everything comes together to create contentment. A perfect blend of good food, friendly strangers, physical and mental activity, and a person to travel with that makes you happy. David and I spent the weekend in Lanesboro, MN and thereabouts. We loaded up our bikes, and in my case, way too much other stuff and headed out of town. How is it that I can pack so light for a 10 day trip to Ireland, but when I head 2 hours south, I pack as though I am leaving home for an indefinite period of time? We arrived in Lanesboro in the rain. We ducked in to the Pedal Pushers Cafe where we had the coffee and pie special for $1.99. Chocolate cream pie. Yum! I drew this lovely picture. If you look closely, you will

You Know He's the One When...

...he makes amazing sandwiches with pepperjack cheese. ...he puts oregano in his scrambled eggs...or is it dill? ...he asks you to teach him to knit so he can make a hat for his new niece. ...he sets up your bike computer. ...he lets your nephew pretend he is a cow and feed him imaginary hay. ...he shows you how to use Excel so you can figure out just how painful it will be to pay off your student loans before you're 40. ...he Tivo's your favorite shows for you since you don't have cable. ...he likes your family. ...you like his family. ...he's the calm to your sometimes not-so-calm self. ...he puts up with your singing. ...he enjoys things like visiting the SPAM museum, taking a Segway tour of Minneapolis, and learning to make sushi. ...he's teaching you how to do flip turns in the pool. ...he loves your laugh. ...he gets down on one knee and gives you this...
