He’s 10 today – my son is 10! TEN years ago today I had my little baby boy!! Too quick – life is too quick… Here he was 5 years ago today. And 5 years from now? Who knows. It’s enough that we’re happy and our house is full of love TODAY. Are You Happy…

Gerry, Get Off The Bed
My breathing’s been bad for about a week now – VERY bad in the last few days – and I’d chalked it up to all the running around for Max’s party and my ‘date’ with Gerry on Saturday. But last night I couldn’t pretend any longer. It was seriously difficult to get a breath. So…
Downhill Racers
Max’s birthday party was yesterday, and Oh, man, did we have a BLAST! We went out to Green Acres for tubing and pizza (we’d gone out late last year for a fun day) The place was SWAMPED with folks – everyone had the same idea – and we had a lot of kids in our…
Treats!
This week I achieved one of my personal goals when Brenda Dayne invited me to be a guest on Cast On! YAY! So I’ll be chatting pretty much non-stop this week on the podcast, Brenda could hardly get a word in sideways, and you’re free to listen in. Of course, actually GETTING the interview done…
I'm flattered (I think…)
So a few days ago I got a nice email from a publicity person at Interweave Knits who informed me that in a Knitting Daily poll, Sideways Spencer came in among the top 11 (an odd number, which makes me think perhaps it was #11…) The email continued (emphasis is mine): On January 30 we…
How Dry I Am
I’ve been on an unexpected hiatus – a little break – a vaca – holiday. I’m not sure why, but I’ve been feeling sort of dry. Dry skin, dry hair (and looking oh-so-grey), dry wit – and a dry well. I’ve been writing a LOT of patterns in the past few days, doing a lot…
Dances with Happy
When someone finishes one of my projects and sends me a photo, I join in the dance! Here’s a shot of a beautiful woman at TNNA who gave me a hug and some kind words – and THEN I noticed she was from Maumee (I’m from Toledo – they’re next to each other…) And THEN…
Back Home In Minnesota (the place I love to go-ta!)
I love home. I can’t even begin to describe how deeply I’m moved whenever I walk through my door, see my pets and my kitchen, go upstairs and see the kids and Gerry asleep – a redeye is a rough thing, but the arrival home at 7:00 am is pure gold. So now I’m home,…
So I’m here at TNNA, sort of feeling at loose ends because I’m not here with any Purpose – just strolling around, eating chocolate and drinking the occasional glass of wine. I’m showing my face – as my husband put it – so that folks know that I’m still around, viable and teaching (and designing!)…
A short post
Because it’s 6:30 in the morning, I have to “get up” in 10 minutes, and I still have a slight ‘people hangover’ from last night, this will be short. The flight was pretty good – I had a bulkhead seat, and although it wasn’t my usual preferred position (right side of the plane window seat…
