Repeats, that is what has been happening around here lately. Knitting of many hats for soldiers (classic watch cap) Baking of many biscuits… Parmesean cheese biscuits buttermilk wheat biscuits Visiting of several local and ‘on the way’ wineries… Silliness of a little Bug, who is doing well in kindergarten, is learning to read, and has [...]
The Brown County fair this year brought some GIGANTIC pumpkins! The winner was 654 pounds! Usually we take little Bug’s picture on the largest pumpkin, but they had them fenced off this year The recycled art was again a favorite of mine. the pepsi can dress won big… but my personal favorite was the John [...]
I was raised by the very anti-social parents, so we rarely went anywhere except to visit family. Granted, my parents have a lot of brothers and sisters, but still… I also have this trait, but I am becoming very tired of it. DH is often gone in the evenings either teaching classes, training for his [...]
Chugging away here—– MORE THAN mid-way through the 3 week semester… got some antibiotics for my ’2 weeks and counting’ cold… picked up out CSA box several times (Avalon Acres)… finished my first project in cashmere (Jojoland lace) and watched our girl graduate from pre-school…
The Bug and I helped Uncle G make hamburgers from scratch (grind meat, bake buns, make ketchup, relish, and mustard) as inspired by an article in Gourmet magazine. They were very good, especially those that were more coursely ground. I’ve also made a few dishcloths… This last one didn’t handle the ‘up-sizing’ as well as [...]

We used Monday to go to the store and then took the kids to do some ‘gem mining’ and putt-putt golf just to get them out of the house and moving around. On Tuesday [...]
Bug loves to dress up… so when I saw a “princess” tea party advertised in Nana and Pappaw T.’s home town, I signed her up. Paducah has this thing called Paducah iList that is an email of all the happenings in Paducah each week. I wish we had one for Murfreesboro. Princess Bug went to [...]
School has started and the cold has let up a bit, but it supposed to be back tonight. I have had a fierce need to make stuff, WARM stuff… KNITTING – FO: Emerald Hug A scarf for my Grandma (a knitted, fuzzy green hug) Yarn: Riot eyelash from Yarn Bee, color seamist Pattern: simple garter [...]
We’ve had a whirlwind of activity here… Bug had a Christmas program at school. We had a good Christmas and Bug got to spend lots of time with her Pappaw T. I finished a few things (I’ll add details later): a pair of fetching with an added ‘pointelle’ lace pattern from the vogue Stitchionary in [...]
I’ve been knitting mitts up a storm. Mainly for gifts. I like to give people things to kind of thank them around this time of year, but I don’t want them to feel like they need to give me something back. So, I don’t wrap them, I just give them as I get them done. [...]
