Making with code!

Happy Holidays! So, Q is a little too young to really enjoy this now, but for those who have young children (I could see this being as young as 3, but probably closer to 4-5) this looks like a fun... Continue reading

He is super sweet too!

Commented Nov 17, 2014 on Getting my design on at AnotherPurl :: a knitter's life

Because one of my friends said I should include that in my blog to increase page hits. Because more people need to see pictures of my glitter-covered baby. And because lmgtfy. Continue reading

Getting my design on

So, I'm getting next to no knitting done, and I'm sure all of the knitting parents of little ones are nodding their heads about that one. For some reason I thought I would be able to just get more done... Continue reading

The best of birthdays

Our little boy is 1 year old. It is so hard to believe (also hard to believe is that I am almost done with another knitting project). So, I don't know where I first saw this idea, though I am... Continue reading

What's a gal to do?

In the past year, knitting has become almost a fantasy. It's not that I cannot knit. Heck, I have been getting about the same amount of stuff done, but it has been in dribs and drabs. I will have a... Continue reading

Continuing adventures in baby-led weaning

This week's 10 for Tuesday is about cars. As I just earned my license last week, I am not really qualified to write about cars I have owned. Instead, I want to write about baby-led weaning. I cannot remember where... Continue reading

Watch out world!

Monday was an eventful day for me. It involved insurance, a phone call or two (not mine), parallel parking, a really sad 3 point turn, and then at the end a sheet and the words, "You Passed." Yup, I am... Continue reading

[10 Tuesday] Fall is nearly here

In the past, Thanksgiving, and to a lesser extent Halloween, was my raison d'etre during the fall. I would cook, plan, and cook some more with an eye to making the largest number of Thanksgiving desserts, while cooking just enough... Continue reading

[10 Tuesday] Books are better than cookies

There are tons of books I love, though I'll admit that between having a baby and going back to school if it isn't a board book or a textbook I don't really have time for it. I feel weird apologizing... Continue reading

Chris is now at home, taking care of Q, while I am attempting to bring home the veggie bacon, but not real veggie bacon (that's cruel) and to learn all of the things. It is awesome, because, unlike daycare, Chris... Continue reading

Beautiful Stripes!

For Camp Loopy project 3, we needed to knit 800 yards minimum using our favorite colors. As much as I joke about black, the "color of my soul," I love blue. In the past few years I've become more of... Continue reading

Choosing an IDE and other first week of class things

I'm sitting in Q's nursery room, about 5 feet from his crib as he falls asleep. I'm back early from my first CS class, because we went over chapter 1, course objectives, basic programming information, and the syllabus. It wasn't... Continue reading

Time management (for parents?)

Time management is for everybody. Intellectually I know that, but now that I am a parent I feel like I have to be even more careful to get things done when the opportunities present themselves. When I first met Abby... Continue reading

Sometimes you cannot sleep

So, instead of knitting or cleaning or making more ice cream, I will leave you with our celebration of Weird Al Yankovic's new album, Mandatory Fun. Poor guy, born to such a Tacky family! Sunday is National Ice Cream Day,... Continue reading

Finishing sweaters

I finished a second item in the beginning of June. Q needs replacement sweaters, because either they are shrinking or he is growing (I know which one it is) and the ones I made for him no longer fit his... Continue reading

Getting back in the swing of things

People never tell you when you have kids that your thoughts of having a schedule mostly go out the window. There are lots of things they don't tell you, and because every family is different sometimes it is because they... Continue reading

[10 Tuesday] Bands!

This picture has nothing to do with today's 10 for Tuesday topic. I just love my little boy. So, this week's 10 for Tuesday is 10 Bands or Individuals you've seen in concert. 1. It's hard to beat this one... Continue reading

[10 Tuesday] Donut-topia

I've been trying to find a replacement for Donut King (goodness I loved that place). Doughnuts don't appear to be as big a thing here as they were in New England. On the other hand, it is a lot easier... Continue reading

Camp Loopy is starting soon! This is the time of year where I buy yarn pretty much every month, and I actually finish things. The first project is 400 yards and it has to remind you of a character or... Continue reading

[10 Tuesday] Trying new things

Trying new things is a pet peeve of mine. I realized a few years ago that I would say that I didn't like something, and that people around me would say the same thing. Some of these things were things... Continue reading

Baby led weaning

So I couldn't tell you when I first read about baby-led weaning, but apparently it is a thing. You take your baby, put some food stuffs in front of them, and watch and listen to them experience food. No making... Continue reading

Yeah. Victor and Q are in the same party. As Q gets older, it is getting easier to do knitting in the evening. I recently finished a sweater for him (I sewed on the buttons on Sunday) and baby legwarmers.... Continue reading
