A tale of two sisters...: February 2010
http://alexandleah.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Friday, February 19, 2010. Can you believe I'm almost 5? Sometimes she drives me crazy. She forgets to be gentle. She doesn't eat over her plate no matter how many times we remind her causing a mess on the floor. She whines. She's ALWAYS asking for snacks and they have to be just what she's in the mood for. And I'm sure there are more. Thursday, February 11, 2010. DIARY OF A BLIZZARD (OR TWO). Friday 2/5/10: The snow starts falling just before early dismissal. It's beautif...

Wednesday, August 31, 2011. First week of First Grade and Preschool Completed. As we walked in to the All Purpose Room, she saw her good friend Olivia and took off. I barely got a goodbye hug! At the end of the day, Alex was in HEAVEN. She loved her first day and couldn't wait to go back. She has a lot of friends in her class and loves her teacher. For the first time in a year. Leah wanted to go to BCS instead of daycare. It's going to be a great year! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Birth: 7lbs; 20in.

vanillabean knits: Necklace Holder...Finally
http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/neclace-holderfinally.html
I have been meaning to make a simple necklace holder for about 5 years. Just something simple, a piece of nice wood with hooks, and something in the back to mount it. How funny that when I did finally got around to making this, it only took about 2 hours. I found a gorgeous piece of wood that was 12 x 18", sanded it with our orbital sander (one of our favorite wedding gifts! And I like to joke, our tastes are maturing! If I get myself any more jewelry, Im going to need one of these! Shona LALA dex press.

vanillabean knits: Sugared Cranberries
http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2007/10/sugared-cranberries.html
Illustration Friday's topic this week is "trick or treat". This will be my non-submission participation for "treat". When I first had sugared cranberries, it was when I was still living in Florida. I had them at a party and had "just one more" fifty-seven times. You can't purchase superfine sugar in the South, so re-creating these was a lost dream. Years later, I moved to Philadelphia and. Made these little jems. Everyone loves them. Especially, Aimee. Who this recipe is really for! This recipe was from.

vanillabean knits: Purple Cables
http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2009/03/purple-cables.html
We had a cold spell in February. After the tenth time walking to work freezing my head off in a thinly knit hat (Rowan Felted Tweed), I attempted to rectify this situation. Ahhhh Warmth. Cozy. And huge! I think I love it. (Wink wink). In non-knitting news, I read The Soloist yesterday. I visited the Philadelphia Free Library to pick up books and kill time since I misplaced my housekeys (hopefully inside! And had to wait for Mike to get home. The Soloist happens to be the book that they've selected for.

vanillabean knits: Lace Ribbon Scarf
http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2008/06/lace-ribbon-scarf.html
I nearly choked myself at knitting circle last Wednesday, while stretching my unfinished. Around my neck trying to convince the girls that I was done. By the time my dinner arrived, the girls said that I could cast-off. My impatience was not because I don't love this pattern. I truly do. I would recommend this for an easy or beginner's lace project. It's easy to memorize, and knits up quickly. This was my second one in a row, so I feel that I got a bit burned out at the end. Next, I'll cast on for my.

vanillabean knits: Out of Hibernation
http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2011/03/out-of-hibernation.html
Like many of you, I have been hibernating, thus the long absence. My knitting mojo returned during the winter, and I whipped up these adorable mocassins for an old friend's new little girl. Aren't they darling? They're by Whit Van Ness. For The Purl Bee. I started and finished the Dijon Sweater. I'm so proud of myself for this sweater. It's my third one, but it actually fits very well and looks better than I anticipated. Not too shabby for this lady. That sweater is impressive. Luv it! Those little mocca...

http://vanillabeanknits.blogspot.com/2010/11/fall-to-winter-little-baking.html
Fall to Winter a Little Baking. With the frigid temperatures this week, the golden fall leaves from last week seem far away. I celebrated my 32nd birthday on November 19th! I threw myself a lovely party and invited a medley of friends from different parts of my life. I left it to them to get along, which they did! I baked apple and pear crisp, cupcakes, the. Which have become tradition), Layla's amazingly easy and addictive artichoke spinach dip, and a cake. Having learned from last years unintentional.
