i’ve had a rough couple of months what with being super pregnant and then having a baby. my presence on this blog has stagnated and ground to a halt. i don’t even know what to blog about anymore! photos of my kids and stuff i do are on flickr. my knitting projects are on ravelry. i am almost never off of twitter. what am i even doing with this blog anyway?
well, here’s the thing, i still want to share stuff with you all but i couldn’t see doing it with wordpress. so i started a tumblr blog.
you can now find me on http://gleeknet.tumblr.com.
so, adios! i may be back here later, i may not. in the meantime, say hi to my newest family member, deanna. she was born on july 12 at 10:17PM!

that little bit of a shawl that i had started in the last post is done done done! (on ravelry)
i’m so glad that i made this! despite the fact that the day i decided to model it, it was in the 80s, there have been cold days since then where i have been able to [...]

we had a few lovely days a couple of weeks ago where C and i could sit outside and eat our lunch. wow, that was nice.
a couple of peanut butter sandwiches and the pool, and we were good to go! will you look at how leggy this kid is now? she comes up to KP’s [...]

a long time back on this blog, i took a few old pants of mine and made them into skirts. remember that? probably not, but i did! and it inspired me to do the same thing with a few pair of maternity pants i had that i knew i would never wear again. this is [...]

turned into a months-long project! in my defense, i did start them before i got pregnant and then i went through a major loss of knitting mojo in my first trimester. regardless, they are now done and KP is a happy man. (on ravelry)
they are basic toe-up socks with a linen stitch. i’m getting much [...]

these crocheted cats are so totally fun to make. i’m going to have to make at least one more for C because she keeps stealing this one. (on ravelry)
this one is wearing a plain brown shirt and some black shorts.
i also made his nose a little bigger/wider, put his ears a little farther back, eyes [...]

there are times when i wish that we could drop everything and go to the caribbean, you know? wouldn’t that be nice? i’d love to have some fresh, salty sea air, tropical surroundings, and warm, blue ocean water. but we’re a family on a budget and when my parents decided to rent a house near [...]

it took me a long time to get into the groove of things but here are some finished knits! the first was my vestvember project that i started in november but abandoned almost immediately due to first trimester sickness. i just COULD NOT knit while feeling so nauseous all the time. i spent a good [...]

my very first projects of 2010 were not knitting, believe it or not. my birthday is january 18th and i asked for a kindle to continue my reading obsession, but it seemed awful naked hanging out without a cover. as a birthday treat to myself, i locked myself away on my actual birthday and sewed [...]
