Trish's World

I started this scarf on Monday and finished it yesterday. This particular pattern takes very little time and I really like the results. Of course, it’s kind of a hodge podge of texture but with a monochromatic color palette. I think it turned out pretty sweet.

Mikey & I had a splendid time at the beach. We spent most of Thursdayshopping in Ludington, but in the early evening we walked to the beach and flew our kites, which is always fun. Plus it was nice and windy so the timing was stellar. We stayed at the beach and watched the sunset over [...]

I forgot yesterday to mention that I made a French press cozy for Mike’s dad for Father’s Day. I think he really liked it, but the best part was when he opened it and immediately put it on his head thinking it was a hat. He sort of looked like a G. Anyway, I busted [...]

Noah came over to spend the night with us on Saturday. We had a blast. First we took him to see Shrek Forever After, during which I plied him with candy and popcorn. It was a cute movie. We all enjoyed it, but I don’t think it was as good as some of the other [...]

First, an update on the sock yarn binky. It’s really coming along, and I must say, I like the way it’s turning out. It’s fun to work on too! I guess I was wrong about not having many solid colors. There were more than I expected. Anyway, Ta-da!!

Last week, I had my orientation for a [...]

Wow, it seems like there really isn’t too much going on latelt that I want to post about. Mostly because I have been completely wrapped up in the Southern Vampire series of books. These are the Sookie Stackhouse books that the show True Blood is based on. I’ve had them for a while but wasn’t [...]

Harold came over the other night! Mike & I saw him so we thre some carrots and some asparagus into the yard. Harold loves him some carrots. I actually got some decent photos! Can you believe it? In the second one he’s cleaning his face to get the carrot off. So cute.

I also want to [...]

OK, I have a lot I want to cover today. First things first. Friday was The George’s 31st birthday! We got an early start at Gallagher’s on Thursday night, and had a few beers to ring in the big day. On Friday, Mike & took him to Red Robin, where he celebrated with a delightful [...]

Finished this earlier this week. I think it turned out really nice. I love the creams and whites together. It actually looks a lot cooler in person.

Just a quick post to show off some recently finished knits. First, a charity shawl that will be donated to a person on dialysis. We fondly call them Kidney Kozies.

Next up is the Azteca shawlette. I have made several of these, and I kept one for myself that is purple and pink. They are so [...]
