I started socks for Gosling quite some time ago. I finished them for St Nicholas Day in December, and he found them in the morning with his brand new bright green Crocs (another story worth telling). I had intended to make matching ones for his sister in time, but it didn’t happen. I did cast [...]
Bonus 2 posts in one day! A meme circulating around some friends’ blogs: The rules are as follows: Go to your picture files Go to your 6th folder. Go to your 6th picture. Tell us about it. Tag 6 friends to do the same. And here’s the photo: I have no idea why it looks [...]

As per our tradition, we had homemade pizzas tonight for dinner. I froze the rest of the dough from last week and took it out to thaw late this morning. It always seems to taste better after it’s been frozen for some reason. Whether it’s the fact it “magically” appears or the dough has sufficient [...]
Tweety hasn’t really ever been very fond of solid food. She would tolerate it if that was the only option, but just barely. That’s all changed in the past few weeks. Today she and I went to the grocery store for a quart of milk, a loaf of bread and a stick of butter, among [...]
