End of 2006 Round-up
Unfortunately, the chaos at the end of the year, coupled with my inability to get around well, I missed photo ops of several of the projects that I knit at the end of 2006. But I did knit up 2 “Calorimetry”:http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html headbands – one for a Girl Scout Council Christmas party gift exchange and one…

Post Number One Thousand
Congrats to Dave of “Criminy Jickets,”:http://www.criminyjickets.blogspot.com/ the winner of my “Guess the next post number” contest! Be sure and check out Dave’s site – he designed a great “GarterLac Dish Cloth”:http://knotanotherhat.typepad.com/GarterlacDishcloth2.pdf that I for one have printed out and plan to knit very soon. How do I feel about ONE THOUSAND posts? Amazed! I started…
Ewe Rammed Knee
Yes, she did. Long story short – we had shut the animals in the barn, with the intent on checking Blondie’s tum, as it appears a bit swollen – possibly ‘with lamb’. I was assured that putting the rams and ewes together in one pasture for a few weeks while we were fencing in at…
House Flipping – Real Estate Investment
Anyone have any experience with it? _Him_ and I have talked about doing this for almost 20 years. It seems an opportunity may have arisen for us to get our proverbial feet in the proverbial door. _He_ has much practical experience – necessity bred that – and I have the insane ability to study and…
Not Everybody’s Doing it – but I am
Yes, casting on for another project, when I’m trying to finish UFO(UnFinishedObjects)’s for “UFO August,”:http://ufoaugust.blogspot.com/ but in my defense, I did finish two of the projects on my list! After reading some posts on UFO August I did come to realize that only some of my projects are UFO’s, others were really and truly WIP(Works…

Mom, Angel and I are back from the Baby Shower. It was a nice one. There must’ve been at least 40 people there – I’ve never been to such a big Baby Shower. The gift opening took a loooooong time but was worth the wait to get a piece of cake Angel finished her hat,…
Life in Late July 2006
Yesterday Angel had a horrible headache most of the day. The other girls went home with Mom/Gramma, so it was pretty quiet and she finally slept awhile. The headache was still there when she woke up, so we tried my sinus meds. The headache disappeared, so it looks like it was a sinus headache. Bummer.…
INSERT NAME, the sheep dog
p=. He’s a Great Pyrenees – HUGE – and just a puppy. He’s 8 months old and joined us from the Fidler Farm just outside St. Louis, Missouri. Mom and I went and picked him up yesterday and took him out to his pasture, with the rams. He promptly escaped from near the gate, trying…
