A Blogiversary, And Suddenly It's Spring

Mon, 8 Mar 2010 11:51:26 -0600

Important Note: This blog is moving to http://astheyarnturns.wordpress.com/ since I'm really unhappy with the new Echo comment system. I'll update both sites for a while and then leave this one in place for a while without updating.

At the beginning of last week we had snow most of the day. By this weekend, it was spring with temperatures in the 60s with sunshine. It's supposed to be 70 today! Just some sunshine alone would have been welcome, but with warmer temperatures ...

Watching Olympics, No Time for Blogs

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:29:22 -0600

That pretty much sums it up. I love the winter Olympics! This is the first time in a long time that I've been able to watch much of it. So far I think I've had a chance to watch at least a little bit of everything. It only comes around every four years, so I don't mind indulging myself a bit. That's one of the reasons this post will have that random flavor to it. Hey but I do have a FO. ...

Sewing!

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:42:04 -0600

I know. I never have sewing on the blog. It started when my favorite shower slippers fell apart. No, not slippers I wear in the shower. They're the ones I wear to and from the shower or the ones I slip on if I get up in the middle of the night. So I decided I would make ...

Surprise! It's Snow!

We were supposed to have rain this morning. Instead we ended up with about 4 to 5 inches of nice fluffy snow. The weather service totally missed this one....

Rip Rip Tink Tink

So I started on the left front of the Drops jacket a while back. I was happily knitting along and knitting along. Then I remembered that there were some decreases around the waist. I measured to see ...

Knitting!

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:04:33 -0600

Long ago I started a pair of socks. It was so long ago I don't even remember when I started them. I finished one sock and started the other one and forgot about them. Then I came across ...

Snow Days

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:48:17 -0600

It doesn't take much snow to shut things down in the south. We got less than an inch of snow and most schools were shut down for at least a day. I wish we had more snow but I loved what we got. The first day...

Ah, that's better

Tue, 5 Jan 2010 21:20:28 -0600

So far 2010 has been a good year. I know it's only been 5 days, but hey I like to think that's a trend. I discovered that when I fall off the TV wagon, I fall hard. It started with a couple of DVDs I planned to watch over the holidays. Then I found out there was a ...

Goodbye 2009. Don't let the blue moon hit you on the way out the door.

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:09:18 -0600

That's pretty much how I feel about the year. I'm more than happy to see it out the door. There were good parts but oh the hard parts. At least the year is going out quietly, without a ruckus. I'm grateful to all of my friends near and far who have listened to me the past few months (You know who you are.) and everyone who has read my blog this past year. While we're waiting for the new year to roll around, here's a few links to keep you busy....

Post Christmas Wrap... Uh Unwrap

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:51:49 -0600

I hope the holidays have been good for everyone so far. It has been quiet and pleasant here. I spent Christmas Day with some friends and otherwise just spent some time relaxing. Christmas was very low key with not a lot of gifts exchanged. It was nice actually. There were a couple of gifts ...

Ho Ho Ho

Santa Ferret is working out some costuming issues before she starts her rounds. In the meantime, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. I'll talk to you next week.
