The perfect cold remedy, cream, and the holiday season.

Today was a cold day and Squirrel and I are both getting colds, so we stayed inside. Tonight I braved the cold to go to work, and was glad I did. We always start off our meetings with dinner and Mr. S, who was in charge of getting dinner tonight, had gone to the trouble […]

Singing the blues.

You thought SP11 was over right? Ha! Wrong! I just got ANOTHER little package in the mail today from my wonderful spoiler! One more skein of that wonderful Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, a postcard, and a UNLV onesie for Squirrel! SO CUTE. Isn’t she the best? I know you’re jealous, but I’m sorry, […]

Grey

Today was a grey dreary day outside. So it is very appropriate that today color is GREY! 1. Elevator buttons 2. Cobblestones 3. Boots 4. Car 5. Stone lantern 6. cement truck Despite today being dreary and grey, there were things that brought in the sunshine! For starters, I would like to personally thank IKEA […]

Christmas decorations and Capturing Color

I meant to show you this yesterday, but Blogger would have nothing to do with it. I made these “Road to Bethlehem” visuals over the weekend. I am in charge of music time for the children at church, and this is a visual aid for one of our activities: Squirrel and I went out on […]

We seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties . . . .

Well, I was going to show-and-tell about what I have been working on since last night, but Blogger is putting up a fight and not letting me upload those pictures, so . . . I guess you will just have to wait and wonder until I can get past these technical difficulties! I guess it’s […]

Leftovers

left·o·ver /lěft’ō’vər/ [left-oh-ver] –noun: Usually, leftovers. Food remaining uneaten at the end of a meal, esp. when saved for later use. (“leftovers.” Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1).

Today we enjoyed […]

The Aftermath

I can barely breathe, let alone walk, because I am so full. We celebrated Thanksgiving today at the M’s. The lovely and talented Ms. M and the amazing Thanksgiving sign that she helped her kids make. There was a total of 5 families, and everyone brought food to contribute to the meal, so it was […]

I’m thankful for . . .

Happy Thanksgiving! I get to celebrate double this week, as we are not having our Thanksgiving feast until tomorrow. Today I sat and played with Squirrel, did some housework, put my last SP11 package in the mail to my Spoilee (the big reveal is coming soon!), and nursed the beginnings of a cold. The best […]

Swappy J. Swappington must love me . . . .

I received a delivery from the postman today–a box marked “Royal Mail” addressed to ME from my wonderful SP11 pal Swappy J. Swappington! I truly did receive royal treatment, because inside that box was this: Instructions on how to cast on for 2 socks on 1 circular needle, instructions on knitting 2 socks at one […]

Turkey Day Plans?

I’m just sitting here writing out my grocery list for Thanksgiving and wondering what everyone else’s plans are for Turkey Day? Thursday is a regular work day for everyone here, so we aren’t actually having the big Thanksgiving feast until Friday, which is conveniently a Japanese holiday. We are going over to a friend’s house […]
