Today, I have no WIPs.

I think it’s the first time in years that I don’t actually have a Work In Progress. I don’t really know what to do with myself. Hahaha. I’m joking of course. Have you see my Ravelry queue??? I’m about 416 projects deep over there.

My Ishbel is finished. I love it. She just needs to be blocked. I added a little extra because I could see that I was going to have tones of yarn leftover.

I also made a few cowls. One of them still needs buttons. I’m waiting for the buttons.

Today, I’m thinking of starting a yoga mat bag (which I plan to crochet) and another shawl KAL with my friend Louise. We purchased the same wool (from a vendor at St. Distaff Day a few years back) and we committed to making the same shawl. We’ve both been putting it off for years. It appears, however, that we both find ourselves in a position to start it AT THE SAME TIME. Awesome! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to start working on this piece. It’s a historical shawl from Denmark from the late 1890’s. How cool is that!? My wool is all washed and ready to be put on the ball winder. I don’t know how 600+ yards of DK weight yarn is going to fit on my little ball winder. Guess we’ll find out. That will be a Monday project I think.

I’m heading to Ottawa for the rest of the weekend. Maybe we’ll hit the Rideau Canal. My skates have been in the car for a couple of weeks now. Yahoo!

Oh, as a side note, I watched this really awesome documentary yesterday. It’s called How to Cook Your Life. It was exactly what I needed yesterday. Awesome

Have a wonderful weekend! That’s what MY plan is! Hihi.

At Home

Jacob had his wisdom teeth out yesterday. I was off Monday and Tuesday. I planned nothing so I could take care of him and get some stuff done around the house.

My awesome friend Steve built me some shelves in the garage/basement, and I had time to load those puppies up.

It’s been great being at home. It feels like it’s been a long time. Jacob and I haven’t spent this much time together in a really long time. I’ve enjoyed every single minute.

Today, I made a cowl for the work pot luck/gift exchange tomorrow. I know – a little last minute! But it turned out so good I want to keep it. I won’t of course. 😐

When the day was done, we chilled. I love this pic because the boys are sitting on the couch, both wearing tuques that I made.

I’m feeling so inspired and creative lately. I’m sure there will be many posts (maybe short but there regardless) to come. I’m so excited.

Lake Placid 2011

I don’t even know where to start at this point.  So much has happened in the past two months.  Imagine that!  Two months since I last posted.

I note that there was no mention of Lake Placid in my last entry on November 20th.  So, I guess I’ll start there.

The family rented a cottage in Lake Placid for our Annual Family Christmas Vacation again this year.  We had stayed at this cottage a few years back and everyone loved it.  So, we headed there again this year.

Here are a few pictures of our family weekend.  There are soooo many!  Which ones do I post?

Because so much has gone on in the last while, I’ve decided to do a few small posts instead of one giant post.  Uploading all the pictures takes an eternity here in the country.

Next post… maybe about my new tattoos.
