sorry things are slow around here on the blog. there is a simple explanation... everything is busy busy super busy in the real world. i will try to get back into the habit soon...

stay tuned...

and the winner is....

ME! well... more like me and the family! last wednesday we welcomed into the bright and shining world Katherine Stella Maria! unfortunately there aren't many photos of the event. the hospital wasn't allowing anyone under 18 into the labor and delivery rooms or recovery. and since we don't have a baby sitter or any family near by, the dearest husband was with the kids in the waiting room for most of the labor, and home and sleeping with those kids when Kitty was born. i am kind of bummed out that i don't have photos, but i am more than happy that she is well and good, and a week old today!

happy birthday sweetest!

i think i am off to a good start! a lot more of my things to do have been started, but won't be counted til they are done.

TAKE THAT 2010!

ITS A CONTEST!

I like to gamble... no... i LOVE to gamble. i have been dreaming of being in las vegas sitting at the monopoly slots at the cal with a stomach full of steak sandwich from mainstreet station. but seeing as how there are no monopoly slots close here, and no steak sandwiches worth writing home about, i though i would have a contest for my friends and family.
you guys get to guess when the wee one will be born, and what the wee one will be... a boy or a girl...
i will post guesses on the sidebar.
the person with the correct guess will win something cool of my choosing, and will get it when i get around to sending it out (i AM having a baby soon you know!). the only rules are one guess per day, and only four guesses. so you can say 2/12 girl and 2/13 boy but NOT 2/12 boy and girl, and only four guesses so other peeps have a chance. first come first serve...

any important info i will add to this post.

Jake was 4 days early.
Liz was almost a week late.

original due date 2/14
modified due date 2/13

oh, and you can either leave your guesses as a comment, facebook them to me or email me...

so... i don't think the WIP wednesday, or the FO friday is working out so well. i have been working on clapotis, and spinning my fiber of the month, but i haven't really taken any pics or anything. i think i am a little preoccupied with the whole "i am having a baby pretty soon" thing. plus i have been grumpy von grumpsville. hopefully things will be better soon, and everything will calm down... we shall see...

WIP Wednesday.

okay, so i am going to try and keep on top of my crafting, and i figured i would "borrow" the idea of a WIP Wednesday post as a way of keeping me on track. so...

this week i haven't been doing much. i am about halfway done with my first clapotis (i am late to the party...) i love that it is easy to keep track of, it is super soft malabrigo, and if my mom decides that she really is allergic to wool, i get to keep it. it should make a nice nursing cover up... we shall see. i love the way the dye broke when i overdyed the wool. it reminds me of seaweed.





maybe i can actually finish this by next friday (not this friday). it depends on the amount of heartburn and insomnia i guess...
