Episode 62: Headcolds are terrible

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:54:00 -0600

The Big Texan and I are still working hard on our relationship and making progress... relationships are NOT easy... Sensory Friendly Films are a great way for families affected by autism to enjoy a movie together as a family!!! Kindle is the new electronic reader and I LOVE mine! The State Fair of Texas was fun for Sprocket too! We went every weekend with Sprocket and took time for us as adults. Halloween was a fun night to dress up as pirates and play with other adults. My brother threw the best Halloween party. It was a great weekend. I finished the Chevron Scarf and now I want to make a hat to go with it.

Episode 61: Autumn is here

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:07:00 -0600

Went back to the State Fair of Texas. We are going to take Sparky to a Sensory Friendly movie for autistic children - AMC theaters participate. I need to rethink how I store my yarn... I had a leaning Tower O Yarn... Loved seeing Zombieland - it was a little gross - but fun. I also enjoyed Couples Retreat... it was just plain funny. Kid N Ewe in Boerne - a fun fiber festival... small but nice.

Episode 60: Let's all go to the fair

The Big Texan & I took the grandkids for afternoons out this weekend. It was great to have one on one time with each of them.

I saw my entries at the State Fair of Texas.

I am going to be teaching at DFW Fiber Fest this year! The focus is on Lace & I am teaching two classes.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:07:00 -0600

What do you do when someone gives you an expensive skein of yarn? How you justify spending an arm and a leg on a nice yarn if you don’t know what to do with it? What if you are afraid to knit with it? Remember that YOU ARE WORTH IT! And it is ONLY YARN, it doesn’t have an agenda and is not OUT to get you... really...
