Life is Beautiful

. . . and here are the kids to prove it . . .



This is the picture on my desktop right now - it captures both kids extraorinarily well!

Gerry's set up the latest Operating System on my mac, so have the updated V2.4 of Mail for Mac, and that makes me VERY happy! At last, my right arm is complete again...

I had been using an older version which was just this much too clunky (I couldn't do the searches I wanted, it wouldn't import correctly without a lot of massaging, etc.) but now I am good to go. Woohoo!

I'm basking - and getting my next two projects worked up for the Folks Knits book that Mags Kandis is editing (groovy!) plus a few submissions worked up. And I'm LOVING my office downstairs. On the hottest days it will be COOL down there (and it's right by the furnace, so it stays warm in the basement, too!) We're taking my old office (the breakfast nook) and turning it into a yarn room, thereby turning the dining room into - you guessed it - a dining room! Quel concept.

Yep, just about the time we get this house perky and beautiful and managable, we'll be thinking of moving.

SIGNINGS
I'm trying to put together book signings for Twist & Loop. Some are wandering by on their own, but it would be lovely to be able to put together some teaching dates in Boston in December and DC sometime this Fall. If you know of a yarn or book shop that you feel would like to have me, email me and let me know!

SLEEPINGS
And now back to my regularly scheduled sleeping. It feels SO good to catch up. Of course, both days this weekend the painter guys are here so we're getting up at 7:00 anyway. And of course we're spending the day packing stuff and moving it to a new room, then unpacking other stuff and putting it away. I'm thinking of it as a dress rehearsal for moving.

H--sing it girl! I swear, they both look so grown up. Like late teens, and I know they are not. Its like one of those moments when you look at your 5 year old boy and get a FLASH of the young man he will become. A moment of seeing into the future.

I am so pleased about your yarn room and basement office!

That photo is priceless! It's the sort of photo that one hesitates to take out of a purchased frame. I love the lack of restraint in your daughter, and there's something going on inside of your son's mind - a bit of mischief, perhaps? Nothing too bad. They look utterly sweet. You must be charmed daily.

Don't you just love it when they let all their cuteness show through?
Lovely knitted items. It's just so fun to see what you will come up with next.

The children are beautiful! It's a great shot of them. By the way, I like your quoting of Sweeney Todd... did anyone else catch it?

I LOVE the picture of your kids!!!!I have one on my desk of my husband holding Annie (my daughter) when she was a 4 and a half pound premie -the look on his face is a cross between proud and terrified!
