A blue sweater

It's been ages since I posted anything I've made despite the fact that I'm always working on something. This one has such a cute model I thought I'd share.


Big I wanted me to make him a sweater and he said he wanted it to be blue. He didn't say only blue. I made a basic v-neck raglan and let the yarn do the work. The colorway is called 'Glacier Bay'.


Had to redo the sleeve and body length twice to make it slightly over-sized; I think he had a growth spurt while it was on the needles. Maybe it'll last the winter now.

Muffin thief!

Last night, Big I and I made these muffins. (By the way, they are only muffins in shape. The texture is something between pumpkin pie and french toast with all those eggs in there.)

I went to take a shower this morning after Daddy left and come out to find this on the counter:


Someone has been eating my muffins.

For the record, he gets this from his father who would take one bite of each cookie to 'claim' it. He has 3 older siblings, I guess it was pure survival on Craig's part.

But Big I has no older siblings. He just wanted the chocolate chips.

All Aboard!

Finally figured it out

I kept wondering why it was the Bug was sleeping so long. When I went in to check on him, lo and behold, he may have settled on some fingers...at least for now.


Plus all that exercise on the floor is exhausting.

The Brisco

Sad news here this morning. We decided to put our sweet Brisco down. He'd been a real trooper against his lymphoma and probably would have kept trucking along until his whole body shut down but we decided enough was enough.

He was a heck of a good dog (chewed shoes, dead hamster and numerous 'dietary indiscretions' leading to big vet bills not withstanding). We miss him and his big ears already.

Wherever little dogs go when they die, I hope he has lots of rabbits to chase and a nice warm place to snuggle.
