i mean, look at her hair.
we ate corned beef and cabbage with irish soda bread last night in preparation for the day of the irish.
she'll be here friday and saturday april 3rd and 4th, and she'll be taking appointments for all day/ night both days at my house.

this image of silke stoddard's knitting is burned into my mind and tatooed on my heart.
she never looks like a senator from krypton on the red carpet.

soft and long lacy scarf light enough for spring, extra long for winter wrapping, elegant enough for church, cute enough for a tshirt...i really love this scarf pattern (gee can you tell?).
my happy little life

What are your tips for clearing clutter so you can focus on such a project as sewing?" well mary, let me answer your question by showing you some examples of how i deal with clutter in different areas of my home: dry
my happy plans for this evening include knitting and watching two favorite movies: far and away followed by tristan and isolde.

but then again, we looove roadtrips.
4. i don't worry about a little "creative clutter" in cate's room. i say, a good dress up/ barbie mess day better than watching tv all afternoon, right? pretty soon i will just put my 'kerchief on again and go to town. (yes, that is what cate's room looks like again, just over a month after the big clean. i tell you, i'm fighting a losing battle with that girl). does that answer your question, mary? i hope it helps! wink.

cate was so happy she began yelling "let's give a hand to springtime!
in a tiny town in idaho

may you always have courage to take a chance and never find frogs in your underpants.
i want those red boots and that coat.

i am excited about my new running shoes.
we are happily enjoying being able to play outside again.

and my wheels are turning with projects to put together for a locals knitting class.
(so is corned beef if you've never tried it).

she's cute is this oak
i LOVE this picture and am so inspired to keep the needles moving.

really, cate is also mexican, japanese, native american, swiss, and a lot more- a true american- so we actually have a lot of family history travelling to do, but i really love the romantic beauty of ireland, and have always been drawn to that part of the world. plus i really love corned beef.
mostly i just stinking LOVE knitting.

i am not going to worry...about a thing.
(i hate in quilting and knitting and sewing when the designs get all fancy just because they can).

interested? i think it would be so fun.
pps- our topic of convo for the night was this article from the wall street journal.
