Look look I finished knitting something that fits and I love! Yay, these are the Fletcher Mittens and I made them with some awesome Mushishi yarn to match my pom pom hat I made awhile back. I love them, did I mention that yet? They fit great and are nice and warm, so I wear them every day right now!

Yup we put those giant icicles to good use in our little ice garden we call Icehenge. It continues to grow due to that little ice storm we had the other day. Man those were some serious icicles we had going on, much bigger than in my pics here but alas I was not out photographizing that day. Makes ya feel like some hot cocoa doesn't it? And of course I have not had one decent cup this whole season. it might be time this weekend to whip some up at long last, ok off to buy me some marshmellows!

Howdy there! So keep meaning to post as things come up but somehow I end up batching everything together all the time. Anywho, here are some pics of a super yummy cake I made quite awhile back. It is super delicious and well the season is brewing for it again so I can't wait :) The original recipe can be found here, but I used pears instead of apples cause that is what I had on hand and welp it was a hit! More pics of food to come as I have been finally going through the camera memory cards!

And in other news...I have been wanting, actually, dying to knit finally, but I played in this Volley tournament a few weeks back and it rendered me useless. Still after a long day at work my right arm goes dead and shakes, I must have really hit a nerve since we were playing Ecuadorian style using a soccer ball and super high net, ouch! I will practice ahead next time so I can play better for one, and recover for two, cause yes it is worth doing again even if I can't knit yet, as it was so much fun!

Link to a description of this type of volley ball here, you have to scroll down a bit to get to it.

Sweet Snow!

Hello again

By Amy on February 25, 2010 5:34 PM | No Comments
I have been a long time gone here. But up to the same old projects here and there and have lots of pics I never seem to upload. Mainly I have been watching me a lot of olympics lately and knitting a giant scarf while doing so. Am hoping to finish the scarf during the olympics so that I don't let it fall to the wayside and have another unfinished item on my hands :) Here's hoping...

Visit the Red Scarf Project Blog for guidelines and scarf mailing info.

Deadline for mailing is December 15th so I better get a move on :)

Am playing around with this here web toy. Trying out a new pop up style for images. Learning curve, phew! I think I got it to work now. Click on the images above to try it out. Then rollover and click on the right or left side of the images to scroll through.

Ok so Now it is Sunny...

Thought I Lost This

By Amy on June 8, 2009 12:22 AM | No Comments
I have no idea what I did to loose the ability to log in here and post, and I have even less of an idea how I finally figured out how to get it back, but well at least it is back :) So perhaps I should put up a new pic or something? Well I would but it took me so long just to get this far tonight that I am going to have to leave it be for now and come back another day. Just crossing my fingers that it will still work then. Cause for now my brain is all, php, and sql'd out!
