Finally, a completed project!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 29, 2009
Isn’t this an adorable little sweater? I just need to get it blocked now and that’s on Sunday’s agenda.
Pattern is from Sublime #617 and called Little Sorbet Cardie (page 8). I used Sublime baby cashmere merino silk dk.
I’ve made this for a friend’s daughter that is expecting a little girl in August. They won’t let [...]
Adam Lambert haircut
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 21, 2009
Way back in the 60’s when I was in high school, the Beatles had just arrived. I was the first one in the little burg we lived in to get a Ringo Starr haircut!
I’ve just made an appointment for a haircut this afternoon and told my hairdresser, “I want the Adam Lambert-do” – of course [...]
An open letter to Adam Lambert
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 21, 2009
Dear Adam….We all know who should have won this contest; for heavens sake, it’s a singing contest! You have proved over and over that you can sing any genre that is thrown at you! Like one of the headlines said “Kris will win, but Adam will have the career”. I truly believe this and certainly [...]
Go Adam, Go Adam, Go Adam!

Last week I got through 23 times to vote for Adam Lambert. It’s been 30 minutes since we could start voting….and I can’t get through…I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
I would really like to see Kris be runner-up.
Danny is good, but for some reason, I prefer Kris over Danny.
Go Adam, go Adam, go Adam!!!
What do my friends know that I don’t?

Yesterday was a most interesting day; had lunch with a former co-worker. I must say, I miss the people not the work! DUH!
However, when I arrived home, there was a package for me in the mail from a friend that said it’s an early birthday gift. (My birthday is the end of July) Opened the [...]
Crash, bang…oops
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 10, 2009
Headed to Walgreen’s this morning to pick up a prescription that has been ready since Tuesday.
Hit the button to open the garage door and backed out – oops, crunch, crash, bang. Mark’s car was parked there and I didn’t see it (must have been blinking or it was in my blind spot). Just a few [...]

Mark decided to cook some country ribs on the grill today. Mixed up a concoction of worcestershire (I looked on the bottle for the spelling!); Barb-e-que sauce and RC Cola (called for Coke but we didn’t have any and I wasn’t about to waste my precious Pepsi on something like this); cooked the hell out [...]
Finally, I think continental knitting is being absorbed into my brain
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 10, 2009
Took another continental knitting class last Thursday morning at Enchanted Yarn and Fiber. I think it clicked this time….after 3 tries, it should!
There’s a wonderful book Y Not Knit that explains it in detail with great visuals; If you haven’t tried it, it’s the best way to knit if your hands hurt while knitting.
I don’t [...]
Beautiful embroidered leopard on a towel

Since the painter is finishing up painting in the living room and that’s pretty much off limits, I was confined to the computer room, sewing room, and kitchen. I chose to spend my time in the sewing room.
Didn’t this turn out gorgeous? It’s life-like when you see it in person. Wonderful detail, etc.
I’m such a [...]
Hey, honey, what would you like for dinner?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 6, 2009
Hubby just headed back to work after a quick lunch (NOT A QUICKIE). As he was leaving, I asked what he’d like for dinner….his reply was “Nothing, I have to mow tonight!”
Am I the luckiest woman in the world today – I don’t have to cook dinner!!!

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me!
