I couldn’t resist posting a few more of my favorite shots from the wedding. I love this one of the “maids”: The father daughter dance: The cake and incredible flowers: And of course, a little knitting. The wedding gift: The pattern: Wool Leaves by Jared Flood The Yarn: Cascade Eco Wool, Lake Chelan Heather colorway [...]
Married off!
This weekend I went up to Chicago for my little sister’s wedding! I can hardly believe that she’s married and on her honeymoon now. We spent a wonderful week getting ready, visiting with family and friends, eating good food and catching up. I hardly know what to say except I wish them both a lifetime [...]
Weekend trip!
This weekend I packed myself up and headed to Chicago for a quick 36 hour visit with the little sis and a bridal shower for her! I can hardly believe a year has gone by since she and her fiance got engaged and the wedding is fast approaching (the end of the month). We got [...]
Thirty-five years.
Today my parents celebrate 35 years of marriage. I want to tell them so many things, but above all I hope they enjoy their time together for many, many more years. I love you both! I wanted to do something really special for them this year, so I chose to make them an afghan. I [...]
Blogiversary
Tomorrow marks 5 years since I started this “blog” thing. I can barely believe that it has been that long, but I have a cute little reminder. My nephew was born on February 1 five years ago. And look at him today: Wes assured me that this voice changing Storm Trooper helmet would be the [...]
Holiday Knits
Since we usually spend Thanksgiving with my family, and Christmas with my in-laws, I’ve adopted the habit of getting my holiday gifts for my family ready for Thanksgiving weekend so I can deliver them in person. I’ve been working on the gifts for the past two months, but been unable to post since my wonderful [...]
The wild wild West.
Happy Holidays all! We just returned from my very favorite family holiday, the Stashbuckler Family Thanksgiving. There was beautiful weather, lots and lots of food, visits with friends, and catching up with family and it was much appreciated! Wes and I took off a week ago Saturday to drive out to Los Angeles. With no [...]
A weekend away.
A while ago Wes and I decided that we were going to take a little mini-trip for our first anniversary. So on Saturday we packed up and headed to the Little Niangua Campground at Lake of the Ozarks. I hadn’t been to the Ozarks before but as soon as I looked at a map I [...]
Honey, I’m home!
Wes and I just returned about an hour ago from a great weekend in Chicago. The l’il sis had the starring role in Measure for Measure, so the fam all met up in Chicago for a weekend of theatre, good eats and fun. Wes and I drove up on Friday/Saturday and checked into our hotel [...]
Pictoral Update
I’ve been out of the blog loop for a bit, but I’ve been busy and happy! Last weekend Wes and I started experimenting with mead. We’re trying new flavors this month: Apple Cider, Ginger/Vanilla/Peach and Blueberry Pomegranate. We’ll let you know in a month or so which one turns out best! This weekend we headed [...]
