Goofballs

Yesterday I shared how I took over 180 photos from our trip to the Bok Tower Gardens. It's not easy choosing which photos to use.  Usually.  Sometimes, my family chooses for me.  Not literally, but I don't think you want to see my family being goofy all of the time.  So, I thought I would share with you some of the photos I didn't include and why.

I love these tender moments photos.  They remind me why I love my crazy family.  I didn't include this touching moment because it's really only special to me AND it's not in great focus.  
Oops.
He will probably fuss at me for posting this, but it's not unusual to find my dad catching a few zzzz's.
Hey, so is that stranger in the photo, too!
Ah...kids.  Get one to smile and the other one won't.

 Three is even more impossible.  Now she's being goofy and pretending to be her grandma with her glasses down her nose.  Yep, that's my kid.
 Oh, this will be fun.  Maybe she won't go up 
too high or get hurt.
 Great...big sis has to join in.
 That's what I was missing.  Strike a pose, darling.
 Screams abound...now they can't get down.  Where's their mother?  Oh yeah, taking pictures.
 I hope you enjoyed my theatrical family as much as I do.  I'm sure you'll see more if you hang around here long enough.

Easy Baby Sweater and Hat

After searching and attempting to create the perfect - and quick/easy - baby sweater to give as a gift, I finally just combined a few to make the one I wanted. This particular one is more what I would envision for a girl (regardless of color) because of the lacy pattern created with the shells. My next step to find/create one for a boy. This one is simple enough to work up quickly. I only have a few hours of crochet time at night and I completed the set within 3 days. I imagine if you had half a day you could easily finish it in one setting, depending on your skill level. Sweater Materials: 3-4 ounces 3 ply baby yarn  Hook - size F for newborn  size G for 3 to 6 months size H (and 4 ply soft yarn) for 6 to 9 months 2-3 button for closure Pattern: (Shell = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) Starting at neckline, loosely ch 38. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook & in each ch to end. (37 stitches) Row 2: ch 2, turn (counts as 1st dc throughout) 1 dc in ...

Crocheted Adventure Time Fiona Hat

Well, my cosplaying kid asked for another crocheted creation, but I don't watch Adventure Time.  I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was easy enough and I get to share a free pattern with you.  It straps around the chin with a crocheted button and I had the yarn stashed away.  I love projects that use up leftover yarn, don't you?  I started out with  Lilana Wofsey Dohnert's   Finn hat pattern on Ravelry. She's brilliant.  Then I made adjustments to make it Fiona and fit a bit more snugly.   Materials : Crochet Hook (Size US G-6 (4.0mm)) Yarn Worsted Weight Size 4 Medium ('Soft' recommended) Yarn Sewing Needle Fiberfil Batting Abbreviations : st: stitch ch: chain sl st: slip stitch sc: single crochet hdc: half-double crochet dc: double crochet tr: triple crochet inc: increase (crochet 2 st in single st; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 'sc inc') dec: decrease (make 2 st become 1; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 's...

Start Running!

Many of you have asked me how I got started with running.  Well, let me tell you!  This was no easy task.  My motto used to be "No one should run unless they are being chased."  Seriously.  Not only could I NOT run, I had always been told I would not ever be ABLE to run.  I have what's called physical activity induced asthma.  How is this different?  It means that any type of physical exertion can cause an asthma attack.  Lucky me!  I found this out when I was on the swim team as a child and pretty much sat everything out from there. Currently, I work with a young woman who has truly inspired me to run and she also has asthma (although not the same kind).  You can check out her blog here .  But it wasn't until October of 2010, when another co-worker started running and my thyroid was at an all time low, that I finally said, "get off your butt and go try it!"  And I did, along with my 14-year-old daughter.  And every ...
