I do want to [...]

some days
Posted in home on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Some days all I get done is:
* one load of laundry (the baby’s , not mine).
* reading two articles for school
* one half-hour session of yoga (that made me a little nauseated)
* witnessing the babe stretch, groan, gurgle, poop
and then I get Dave’s late afternoon message that he is coming home, and I know I [...]

We didn’t buy cellphones until I was 8 months pregnant. We both carried a fear that my water would break in the middle of some little thrift or yarn shop and we wouldn’t be able to reach each other. Our phones are made of recycled coke cans and we pay by the month and we [...]

Julia feeding a lamb – 2007
Recently on a post about wool, I said that I would only buy new wool from “nice wool farmers”. I’ve been thinking about it and “nice” isn’t the right word. I don’t believe that ALL the people that are rough with the sheep aren’t nice. I am sure plenty of [...]

Tonight we gather to eat pumpkin burgers and salad and drink a bit of juice.

Macy is NOT allergic to wool. In fact, she loves it! She’s a cloth diapered girl, so wool longies are a necessity around here. I used the Sheepy Pant pattern for the following scrappies. The pants are made out of left-over wool scraps from other knitting projects. Since reading about the horrific way some wool [...]
Cats and Babes.

The cats mostly ignore Macy. Except for God(zillah) Candysugar, she acts all protective and a little hissy when strangers hold her.
Speaking of Zillah, look what I found at the thrift store the day I went into labour. Someone obviously snuck into our house and painted a portrait of our cat. I gasped when I saw [...]
