Some of our favorite things!

This is our favorite sweater.... made by mama just for Shraddha!

I have another one on the needles in off-white. Shraddha is excited about it but keeps asking for me to make it pink.

Shraddha says, " I love my dog!" I enjoy fussing in the

garden and playing in the yard and my favorite thing there

is enjoying the flowers and avoiding the doggie land mines.

Shraddha loves fruit smoothies that we freeze into

"ice cream" pops. AKA "Apt tap" Shraddha can you say,

"I c e C r e a m?" ..... Uh huh..... "aaaapt taaaaap".

I love to see the bottem of my clean sink first thing in

the morning! With my cup of coffee right there next to it,

many thanks to Roger!!!! Then having some time for just

the two of us to visit while we watch the sunrise over the mountains.

BUBBLES with Bubbha and not needing to have her hair brushed on Saturday morning

- need I say more?

Mama loves sweet kisses from Shraddha ......

they are waaaaayyy better then the puppy and kitty licks she likes to share.

First big run of seminars...

Roger is in Indiana! He just traveled all night long and then went to a school to get their students to sign up for a seminar. They did. He then drove another 2 hours before he got to visit with another school owner and then go to sleep.

We have been so busy planning and preparing for this. And we are just so excited to finally be following through with our seminar plans.

Bummer is that the checked bags are lost. Funny thing is that I busted my booty buying, returning and exchanging clothes for him for the trip. Iron all the shirts, packed all the ties....etc... and the bags are lost. Too funny. So instead, he wears his scrubs. But scrubs and staying up all night, and he still makes an awesome impression on everyone.

Today, Shraddha and I got to stay home and just be. It was nice. I was scheduled to work but Beckie and her kids are all too sick and Roger is out of town, so we stay home.

Shraddha sucked down the fruit and yogurt smoothie I made and inhaled all the french toast. Well, so I thought. I picked up her tray to find half of it stuffed under it. She was full after nursing that smoothie.

Many times today she pretended Daddy was coming in the door. She was also asking for Bubba. I try being honest with her but i hate seeing her so sad when I say they will be here in a few days. So we went outside and made the best sandcastles because the sand was still wet from the rain. It was so nice and warm and sunny. It felt like 70 degrees. And Roger is stuck in 6-19 degree weather, at least the blizzard left before he got there. We also watched movies and played with the mega blocks....one of her top favorite toys.

I have a toddler poncho on the needles in light pink with some frilly fun fur for Shraddha. I also have a hat on the loom for Roger. And a scarf on the needles for Madhava. I did not start all of this today but I figure if I blog about it then maybe I will find time to finish the items. I am the most excited about the poncho at the moment. I just figured out how I am going to make it! Might need more yarn though.

Just let me finish this row!

Ok so the title isn't original LOL! But I do love to knit and I would love to figure out a way to find more time to knit without experiencing knitus interuptus. At least not having to put down my work in the middle of a row or for heaven sake in the middle of a stitch and then to come back and find that the Dog/cat/baby/son, became as enthralled in my work as me.

There is something about knitting though. It isn't like photography, or painting or drawing. It really isn't that permanent. There is comfort in the fact that we can, if we so choose, rip it out cause it is hideous and start fresh. Where else in life can you have a mulligan or redo like that?

In order to combat the overwhelming amount of weed seedlings flooding our property (we are talking full on green property spam here!), we are considering getting a goat or a sheep. All I can think about is all the free wool yarn or angora goat yarn. Of course that would involve carding and cleaning and who am I kidding?
