Celtic March Bracelet: Double Yarn Knitting

I'm almost wondering if this Braclet of the Month thing should be Wristband of the Month...

Remember, a while back I was having my first stab at double yarn knitting?

Well, I was really eager to use that technique for the March bracelet...I just didn't expect it to take so long. Because it took so long, I didn't make any extras to be purchased on my ArtFire account. BUT...you can send me a message if you want me to make one for you to purchase. I would sell it to you for $5 (no shipping and handling). That's a pretty good deal, considering it takes FOREVER! 

I am completely addicted to double yarn knitting. Absolutely thrilling!

I Just Like to Saw!

So, we live on an acre of land in the country. There are a lot of trees on our property. A lot! And I find them to be too scraggly. I often want to chop down many of them...especially the wild shrubbery and dying trees that can't grow because other trees are hording all their light. There is a small strip of forest in the middle of our property...at least it feels that way!
My little pirate really likes to be outside, so I roam around with him holding my hand saw, hacking away at stray branches. Today, my project was this little area...

...I want to get rid of the other land owners annoying branches in my yard! That way I can get rid of the junk the previous owners left there (we've been in this house for about half a year now...it sure does take a while to settle in). I think it's all just a reason to saw! It's fun!!! And I'll try to keep you posted.
On the other spectrum...it's not so much fun fishing a boy out of cow poop, barbed wire, and peepee pants (because that's what is on the other side of the fence). :( This cannot be good...

Old Shoes & New Shoes

I'm not a shoe girl. I don't own hundreds of shoes or have several for every occasion. I have the basics...but usually only wear one pair of shoes...my mom sent them to me back in 2007...and they went for walks, grocery shopping, jumped in puddles, stepped in gum, and even had been to church on numerous occasions.

For my birthday, I wanted a new pair of jeans and a new pair of shoes...and I found just that! And I get to enjoy it with my little pirate! We love our matching shoes and I'm sure if he were 10 years older, that will not be cool! So...now's the time! Enjoy life while it is, instead of wishing you had when it was, or hoping for the will be (that might not ever be)!

This is how we dawdle! And we can do that...because I can fit in the largest size in the boys shoes department!

Lunch Menu Monday - Leftovers With Stars

Cookie cutters can be used in so many ways. Today, I served up leftovers from yesterday's lunch - homemade fried fish and potato casserole. I added the touch of a small star cookie cutter green bell pepper pieces. I used a larger star cookie cutter to shape the potato casserole onto the plate and trimmed it with carrot slices.

Yummy!
