Darling Daughter Knits--At Last
E finally learned how to do the knit stitch.
I never said she was an expert, but she does work her little butt off trying.
She made this washcloth for R. She is over the moon that he actually keeps it on the window sill in his bathroom.

Won Yarn
I won this yarn through my knitting parents yahoo group.
It was I think the very last drawing of the raffle sweeps.
It's such lovely stuff. When it arrived (after the WV trip) all I could think of was I want to make a shawl w this stuff (pakucho 100% certified organic cotton from Peru).
I spent days going through books and webistes, only to have to click in my head I have how many patterns that I myself wrote and designed, especially shawl patterns, waiting to be test knit?
So, once hte faroese wedding shawl is done being knit, the pakucho cotton will become ...something wonderful....

Makes Me Feel Like A Woman
This is what R got me for putting up with him -- ye gods, I love this man....
Yes--bathing suits on one side. Bikinis.
Oh yeah--nuff said there. :-)

Technically, most of the bottom picture are bikini bottoms....that is the free stuff...how cool is that?
Kids Pictures
Happy Kid Pictures
Yes, the kids 'camp out' when we are all together on the week-ends.
There are more pictures on facebook.
Pumpkins And More
Blue Hubbard Squash
Blue Hubbard Squash Baked
Our Pumpkin Patch Picks
the little Pumpkin's 'backside'
These are pumpkin plants grown from tossed out birdseed from the parrot.
The chilly wet weather killed them and the watermelon plants....unfortunately...
Next year--you just wait!
Yarn
I don't remember why it was important we took these pictures, but here we go anyway:
Oh, this is the dog-chewed sock yarn.. It's been rewound and is sitting on top the computer staring at me, wanting to become a scarf. Luckily, I bought three skeins of this shade.
This is what we made E's hat request hat out of:
Isn't she pretty?
Lion brand homespun--her yarn choice for the above the hat that ticked me off so badly that we bought the above yarn to make it up instead. I still need to make her a cloche at some point though...
Eckert's Fun Farm
Here are the pictures from our Pumpkin Picking Adventures......
The woman operating the ride took this facing into the sun--N loved it so much we rode it twice!
R took this one of us because the other was unclear.
He rode it. He was pissed and upset the whole time. He cussed me out for not 'saving' him, but it sure taught him about following through on what he wants and what he expects...I warned him he wouldn't like it, but that if he started it he'd have to finish.
E and me on Barney. The best R could do trying to keep up w N on the ground.
The family camelid pic.
E finally petting a camel.
She's still in motion here at the mine shaft slide...

Pushing Away The Malaise
Monday we were at R's house all day. I don't really do much other than work when we're there. Except read.
Tuesday I took off darn near completely. It takes a lot to recover from spending the night w R. It sounds so bad, but it isn't. It's very hard to go from sleeping that well in his arms to having to sleep alone...it's a whole different world. He says we are addicted to sleeping w one another...it's true. It is also so much more than that. Neither one of us has ever been this comfortable w anyone else in our previous relationships...
I watched Bones season 4 all day yesterday. I started Monday night after R went home...I didn't even make it through half of disc one then. But E and I had such a blast hanging out and watching it. Bones is E's most ultimate hero ever...and watching the show together enables me to get a great many points across to E when I least expect it.
Today--I woke up to take calls. And then I went back to sleep. I slept til E crawled into bed w me when she got up, which was about noon. Yes, I let her stay up to watch the episode before the very final one of Bones season 4 before shuttling her off to bed last night...
It's Wednesday.
The Pink Elephant wore her ballet slippers yesterday and danced around for me. She has a set of hiking boots sitting ready by the bedside. When I woke up this morning, I was not at all surprised to find her knitting. Elephants have no opposable thumbs, just a trunk. I am a huge Babar fan from way back, so I know elephants can knit. This one was using big needles, but nothing bigger than a US 19 or so, working a blanket in bamboo stitch. It's a bit funny. Wooden needles. What looks like to me the white bamboospun yarn from hobby lobby. The bamboo stitch. My mind works in the weirdest of ways sometimes, really.
Not only do I have a plethora of housework to catch up with, but a whole new realm of let's pull stuff from the attic--because I did save some boxes from the first move (the one where there was no accident--as the boxes that went through the accident held too much bad mojo for me to deal w), but I have so much online to catch up with as well...Manic Monday, an article I have had in my head since we went to WV for the Halloween Blog Party...Talkative Tuesday...and today is Wednesday, so I have to make a wish and wish for and with others as well...here I go to get started....
Peace....
Oh, one last caveat...keep a candle lit for us...we're making a bid on our house today.
In case you thought I was joking about the carpet or the wallpaper (R took very little T pictures; he took the practical R pictures :-) but I did have him snap the one bedroom wall...)
Here's the basement:

And here is the one wall in what will one day be E's room:
Part of our new backyard:
Yes, it is even bigger than it looks...it's terrific. There is another tree on the other side of the yard as well....I can't wait to actually be able to start planting things....but that just me....

Evil Bird
Cricket is all sorts of different colours--she even has white on her wings these days. We are crediting the food we are feeding her. Kinda like a flamingo in the zoo. Her chest is far more red and yellow than we have ever seen it.
Doesn't make her the nicest creature on the planet though. :-)
The Girl
You saw what N sleeps w -- here's what E sleeps w--that you can see--not including the books and notebooks and pens under the pillow--or the toys under the blanket w her...
Knitpicks Order Pictures
We were very happy when the knitpicks box came in.
It was a MUCH bigger box than I expected.
I knew what I was ordering--for some reason it did not dawn on me it would be this much yarn...and so my rough low ball estimate for socks--I will still allow to stand.
Although R looked at all the yarn last night and there are no issues on colours. We will wait to see how well stuff knits up....
here are the pictures...
