OK -- I'm gonna do it!!!

Pondered over whether to buy the materials for this Knit-Along last night at work. When I got home this morning I searched the internet for decent priced compatable yarns and came up with one at a price I could live with!! The Bernat Chunky yarn in teal, figured that way whomever I decided to give it too would like the color.

What do you think?

It's potluck Saturday night at work!!

I decided to make some homemade cranberry scones for our potluck saturday night tonight at work.  They are so yummy with just a touch of orange zest and pecans!!  And only have half the butter of most recipes that I have found, although they do use cream instead of milk!!

We are gonna enjoy these with Brenda's Navy Bean and leak soup!!

Thinking of doing this Knit-Along

I love to start projects , but have a hard time actually finishing them. I think I tend to get side-tracked and want to start on the next one before the first one is finished. Small projects seem to be the best for me - but I lovethe results of the larger ones!!

Found this Knit-Along http://blog.lionbrand.com/2011/01/27/saturday-morning-hoodie-knit-along-a-truly-his-hers-hoodie/ where everyone works on the same project and posts progress and helpful info each week. Hmmm I like the 'Hoodie sweater' I'm thinking I might want to actually do this and see if blogging about my progress and following others progress actually helps me finish the project!!
But need to get the yarn first!!

Finished first Christmas present of 2011!!


Looks like I am off to a good start for Christmas this year!!


I finished my first Christmas present already - now to just keep track of where I hide it for safe keeping!!

OMG! I haven't posted in over a year!!

Shame, shame, shame on me!!

Update on Geocahing!! I have found, to date, 258 geocaches. A lot over the past year. Had a few minutes (hour) to spare last weekend and decided to take a walk out to a cache near a friends house. After searching through the bushes and brush (took a bit home with me in my hair) my GPS finally settled down and I realized that the cache was closer to the trail than I was looking. Went back down the side of the hill to the trail and walked right up to it!! Boy did I make that one harder than it should have been. Nice walk though!! Picked up a Travel Bug and left a Travel Bug!! (Might have to describe what these are at another time!!)
