I had really wanted to have my Riding to Avalon done by my birthday.  Some things just aren’t meant to be.  Between Bugga and I getting the flu and a new puppy in the house, my new sweater got delayed a bit.  As of Sunday night, both sleeves were ready for their sleeve caps and the [...]

I really want to like this sweater…I really do.  Everytime I think it is going smoothly, a road bump appears.  OK, I still love the sweater.  Maybe that’s why I just want it to be perfect.  Is that really too much to ask? My current problem is the shoulder seam.  It is just not pretty. [...]

My 35th birthday was on Thurs, Jan 29th.  I’m good with being 35 – I feel happy and loved.  However, this will not go down as the best birthday.  It started on Tuesday, Bugga had an awful night sleep.  Her head was completely congested and the poor thing couldn’t breathe.  I decided to keep her home [...]
