When Wes and I saw this house, we really fell in love with it. We did not, however, fall in love with the kitchen. In fact, we both agreed that the kitchen would be the first area of the house to see a little improvement. You might be wondering why. Well see, the previous owners [...]
Spring Fling!
This year I was lucky enough to get into The Loopy Ewe‘s Spring Fling! The Loopy Ewe is a great online yarn store that is housed in St. Louis. Once a year it hosts “Spring Fling” which is a knitting event for 125 knitters featuring classes taught by knitting authors and designers and yarn dyers. [...]
Unexpected.
On Friday afternoon, I went to lunch at the yarn store, a last hurrah of sorts. On the way there, my car started acting slightly odd. I decided that the smart plan was to get it towed to the local dealer and see what was up. What I wasn’t expecting was the phone call 2 [...]
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 [...]
Baby Surprise Jacket
No, I’m not pregnant! But many, many of my friends are and it has kicked off a season of baby knits. For the past few weeks I’ve been cranking out a cute little EZ classic! The Pattern: Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket The Needles: US 3′s The Yarn: Artyarns (Teal & Brown), Dream in Color [...]
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 [...]
Why hello there!
Thanks to my six die hard followers who keep up with me even when I’m less than faithful about posting. You’d think nothing noteworthy was happening, but well, that’s just not true! Summer is in full swing here and (shhh don’t tell anyone I said it) the last few days have been GORGEOUS. Warm but [...]
Independence Day
This weekend we headed down to my in-laws’ place to celebrate the holiday. We started out by making Friday a lazy morning, and headed out early afternoon. After purchasing a new kayak for Wes, we drove over to Manhattan, Kansas. On the way there, Wes suggested that we stop in Wamego, a town best known [...]
Kiri
I realize that as of late I haven’t really been updating. I don’t know whether it’s the summer heat (for the past week we’ve been in the 110+ range with heat index) or that I’m just spending so much time engrossed in my knitting and Ravelry, that I don’t feel I have much of interest [...]
C’mon summer.
It’s starting to warm up for summer and I keep wanting to get out of town. This weekend I did just that! This past weekend I went to North Carolina to visit Light, her hubby and her adorable little girl! Light and I have known each other since high school. Even though we see each [...]
