So wrong but so funny

Andee was the mastermind behind this. It's too funny not to share.

Yes, the idea of a cursing toddler is wrong. But it's funny.

Ten on Ten Reminder

It's January 10th.

That means it's Ten on Ten day!

Take one picture every hour for 10 hours today on this 10th day of the month.

Ten on ten was a project started to help a stay at home mom battling postpartum depression  help find beauty and happiness in her every day life. If you would like to read more about it, click here.

Post your pictures tonight and link up :)

It's always fun.

Happy Thursday.

Headed out to have coffee with some of my favorite mom friends.

We haven't been together in a long time so should be a great morning.

 

On to the Lace -Yarn Along

I was able to squeeze a little knitting time in this weekend. Still working on my Suki shawl. I just hit the lace part. Oh my. I love lace work. I love following a chart. It keeps me interested. BUT.....there is this little person in my house all the time that thinks it's not that fun for mom to focus intently on her chart, knitting and counting. I have a feeling it will be slow going on this part. But I'm determined to get it perfect. Hah!

I am still reading By Blood by Ellen Ullman. I can't put it down.

Hoping to finish this up in the next few days and start another kerchief shawl.

I'm obsessed!!!

This and That

These days the phone has been filling in for my camera. It's so handy to have with me. 

So here I am, posting some random camera phone photos from our past week.

It also appears that I only have one child. I do have three. It's just that Chase is the one with me all them time, so he tends to end up in the majority of photos.

Belmar beach is still blocked off to the public because of Hurricane Sandy damage/clean up.

Local artists have gone down and painted the cement barriers to cheer up the place! I LOVE this :)

 My favorite one...

Just enough snow to make everything look pretty. Happy Sunday.

Eleven

Today is my first baby's birthday. He's 11 today. Not sure how that happened.

He's a good kid. Smart, responsible, confident and funny.

A good friend, good brother and great son.

I have enjoyed watching him turn into a "little man" these past few months.

I feel like he's growing up quickly and life is starting to change for him.

We love you Dalton. We're so proud of you.

May you always be the great person you are today.

Love,

Mom, Dad, Garrett, Chase and all the critters :)

A New Year of Knitting

Hello and Happy 2013!

I feel like I'm just emerging from the holiday whirl wind.

It was a fun, busy, exhausting and happy week.

I'm happy to have a schedule back and feel like I have a tiny bit of space.

I did more reading than knitting over the break.

I finished up The Shoemaker's Wife.

It was a good read and I would recommend it.

It was 100 pages too long in my opinion, but still worth the read.

My husband spoiled me rotten this Christmas. One of my gifts was this sock yarn seen above to match the rust colored Madelintosh yarn I had in my stash. I am excited to be working on a Suki scarf for myself. Our friend, Sue, that knits with us made a few of these for the farm store. They sold as soon as we put them out! I love the color combo and it's a nice quick knit so far. I just hope I make it big enough to wrap around my neck comfortably.

I also received some great new books for Christmas. So I've been reading them.

For my book club, we chose the novel, By Blood by Ellen Ullman.

I can't put it down. It reminds me of the movie, Rear Window in the way that it is told from the observer. Such an interesting read so far.

I want to thank everyone that visited our farm recently. We were blessed with such nice customers, happy people and more people that fell in love with alpacas.

I'm sure there are MANY warm happy feet in our area thanks to the alpaca socks we sold!

Happy New Year! May it be a good one :)
