Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. I am so happy it is Fall now and it is getting cooler. I love that it is October soon it is such a special month every year, It is my Birthday on the 10th, then Thanksgiving, and Halloween. So much to celebrate.  I started knitting a pumpkin and I have knitted this pattern before. It is a fun pattern I found on Ravelry by Katrina McNerney and will be finished soon.  I have been continuing to read The Whole-Brain child by Daniel Siegel and read a little each night. I have been enjoying it. I haven't been reading Doing it All as ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well.  I am so happy it is September now and love this time of the year with back to school and it is almost Fall.  I did buy Evan the clothes and backpack for starting in his new classroom and the cooler weather coming. I am happy with my purchase from Carters. This month we have some family get togethers and our Anniversary later in the month as well. Fall is my favorite season of the year and I am looking forward to decorating, having fall drinks, and some fun knitting project plans. I have been working on knitting the first sock of the v ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. I haven't posted for a couple of weeks sorry about that! I love posting on Sundays during Evan's nap but sometimes his naps are shorter than expected and then I don't post and the week goes by so fast to post on Monday or Tuesday. I am happy to be posting today though! He had longer naps this weekend and it was really nice. He is almost 21 months old, talking a lot and so busy. We love seeing how much he is growing and learning. He will be moving to the toddler room at his daycare next Tuesday just because of space in the toddler room and the lo ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. I have been well I can't believe it is August this week! the time is flying by. My sister is having her second baby this month so I am excited to meet my nephew. As you approach the actual month of the due date it gets more real. I hope this month we continue to take advantage of the warm weather and take Evan to the park and new places.  I actually frogged my previous sock because I realised I casted on too many stitches and it was looking bigger than I thought would fit comfortably. I then casted on 64 stitches instead of 72. I made some ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. I have been enjoying the weekend spending a lot of time with my little family. I am excited today we are having a baby sprinkle for my sister! It is her second baby and she is having another boy. I am looking forward to meeting my nephew very soon! We went to the park yesterday and Evan enjoyed walking around the grass area that is nearby. We are lucky to live by a big park with lots of shade and areas for him to explore.  I have been continuing to knit the socks and just finished the cuff which was 1 1/2 inches and now just knitting in the ..read more

Hello Friends, I hope that you are doing well! I have been knitting the cuff of the first sock this week and I like the repetition of the k1,p1 of the cuff. One I am finished the cuff, I will move on to knitting until the piece measures 6 inches. I am following the pattern My Favorite Vanilla Socks by Meaghan Schmaltz on Ravelry. I have been reading Doing it All by Whitney Casares. I feel like life is so busy lately since going back to work in May. I have been taking care of things around the house and want to work on more projects and tasks as well that I haven't been making time for.  ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well! It has been awhile and the reason for a couple months away is that I never looked up my next knitting project and then I went back to work. It was a busy couple of months that I didn't write or knit. I really missed writing here to you and also I missed knitting! Summer has always been my less inspired time of the year to knit or craft. I guess it is warmer and busier with family vacations and trying to be outdoors. I love to knit socks in the Summer and have decided to cast on some socks now as my next project. I bought some Kroy sock yarn and f ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. Liam and I watched the eclipse today from our rooftop terrace. My mother-in law gave us glasses to watch. We saw when the sun was partially covered, then it just got dark and we couldn't see anything. It was fun to watch and be able to see part of it through the glasses. I finished knitting the Journeyman hat today! I knitted a lot of it last night and then decreased and bound off today. I love how comfortable it is and love the look of the slouch. It is my favourite style of winter hat to wear.  Notes: Pattern: The Journeyman Hat b ..read more

 Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well. I had a good weekend we just stayed home most of the time and relaxed. It is nice having those weekends to recharge for the week ahead. It was a bit cold this weekend for a walk with Evan.  I have been continuing to knit the Journeyman Hat by Alyssa Grieves on Ravelry. It has been a fun knit so far. I love how it is turning out with the colorful yarn I am working with.  On Sunday I snapped this photo enjoying coffee out of one of my favourite mugs that was a gift after we had Evan. It is the Mother mug from Indigo. They have similar ..read more
