Better than snow, I suppose. Pete had another birthday this week. I finished knitting the parts to a "Voodoo you love me" stuffie. That and Bunny Love need their finishing touches and they will be done. Last night, I started some Stitch Surfer Socks. I've wanted to try that one for awhile. This pair is a trial run to familiarize myself with the construction.

This week has been very uneventful...and cold. Perfect time to think back to the beautiful warmness of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Punta Cana 2012. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There has been a finished object and some heart crocheting as we approach February and Valentine's Day. My motivation and positivity has wained a bit this week but I am determined to get it back. I really want to get this place organized and purge a bunch of non-essential stuff. That is my goal for next week. Closets, drawers and craft room!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have a great weekend! </div>

I start way too many more projects than I actually finish. Participating in knit-a-longs helps me finish items on a timeline. But I haven't participated in any of those for a while. Most were tied to podcasts and my obsession with video podcasts has wained. What am I knitting then? I just finished a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/windschief" target="_blank">Windschief Cowl</a> (pattern by Stephen West) for myself in Tosh DK Seasalt colorway. I'll probably wear it Saturday when Pete and I go to Newport. I also have decided to knit a bunch of baby items to have when the need might arise to give a baby gift. I'm not at all good with knitting for deadlines like baby due dates so this should solve that issue. So I've started knitting some <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/i-love-stockinette-baby-bib" target="_blank">I Love Stockinette Baby Bibs</a>. I have a decent stash of cotton yarn that can be used for these. Then my sister asked me to make her a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/weather-the-weather-hat" target="_blank">Weather The Weather</a> hat. The yarn has been ordered and as soon as it arrives I'll get to it.<br />
<br />
What else would I like to knit this year? I really want to knit another sweater for myself. I've only knit two and haven't worn them in forever. And I'd like to crochet a throw for my living room. I have a pattern which I will link to at another time. It consists of granny squares and I think is really pretty. I also need to replenish my wool socks. Many have gotten holey beyond repair and went in the trash. There are also a few stuffed animals/toys I'd like to make. So I think I'll continue to be a busy knitter in the coming year and hopefully finish more of what I've started.Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-42922291763796280312014-01-20T10:31:00.000-05:002014-01-20T10:31:17.432-05:00WeekendThe weekend was truly uneventful and very much a relaxing one. There were no trips anywhere unless you want to include Pete's trip to the dump on Saturday morning. It was a much needed time to do practically nothing. Since Thanksgiving we have been on the go or had a house full of people and mess or needed to be somewhere. This weekend finally marked the end of that. We put Christmas back in the attic. Pete took the old sectional couch to the dump. The new sectional is a bit smaller than the old one so it feels like we have more room to move in the living room. The cabinet from my mother-in-laws apartment fits nicely in the living room too.<br />
<br />
There was some snow on Saturday. Not much. Maybe 2 inches. But it's cold again and will only get colder. Which is ok because it is January. More snow is forecast for later this week which is fine with me. I only have to go to the dentist tomorrow and beyond that nothing but grocery shopping is planned.<br />

This had to be the quickest, whirlwind road trip since well, the early 80's and some "totally unlike me spontaneous un-thoughtout" road trips I took in college. Wish it was as fun as the 8o's trips but oh well. This is real life. The Jetta we sold Zach over Christmas died in New Jersey where he stopped to spend time with his aunt and cousins on his way back to N. Carolina. Yeah, died. He freaked, we freaked. He had to be back at Lejeune by 6pm Sunday and we had to get the Jetta back to MA. We got Zach back to the base but not before one flight was cancelled and we had to re-book him on another flight-first class no less because that's all that was available. Thank goodness this all happened while he was at his aunt's and not on the road. <br />
<br />
Pete and I drove to S. Jersey Saturday in pouring rain and fog to get the Jetta and tow it back to MA. The one bright spot is we got to spend a few hours with Sue and her family. I think I've seen her more in the last year than I have in the last ten years. My nephew, as always, made me laugh. He's hysterical. Since birth. Really. He's that funny.<br />
<br />
We awoke Sunday to bright sunny skies and seasonable temperatures. Traffic wasn't crazy. At least until we hit N. Jersey and the Newark area. Even then it wasn't terrible. We made really good time. It felt really good to be home and have that little adventure done. Hopefully, the repairs won't be too major or expensive. Oh and we own it again. It's a neat little car (which is why we sold it to Zach in the first place) so I'm not terribly upset about it. C'est la vie!Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-14587605101343341242014-01-02T11:54:00.001-05:002014-01-02T11:54:55.744-05:00Happy New Year 2014 editionHere I go again. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Goal: Post at least once a week. For now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Goal: Figure out how to blog from my iPad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Goal: Be a bit more focused on what I'm doing day to day whether it be knitting or sewing or getting healthy or being organized in general.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Goal: Be Positive! This is probably the most important goal at the moment. It has been too easy to sink into the negative. And to be critical and judgmental. I want that to stop. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Be positive or I'm going to have to ask you to leave! </div>

Let's try this again. Anyway, Facebook is no longer my friend. Since September I haven't played any games and it's been really nice. Some people are addicted to drugs and alcohol. I'm addicted to Facebook games. Not really. But that's a huge monkey off my back. I've been hanging out on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/MeredithO" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> a lot. And I've been watching a lot of podcasts. And knitting a lot. And today I joined <a href="http://www.plurk.com/t/English#hot" target="_blank">Plurk</a>. Hopefully I can make posting here a regular thing again. Now if I can only figure out how to elongate and make my banner pretty?Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-71788149591554533432010-06-30T13:19:00.003-04:002010-06-30T13:36:25.361-04:00Neglecting the BlogYeah, that's me. Neglecting the 'ole blog. I blame Facebook. I have spent obscene amounts of time surfing around FB and playing FarmVille and Treasure Isle and FrontierVille and well, you get the idea. Actually, I have spent less and less time interacting with people on FB. Number one reason is I can't stand the whining and vagueness that is posted as status updates. Number two reason is every time I post something trying to be moderately funny and light, I get picked on by my siblings. I hate lol and lmao and lack of good spelling habits. I think you get my drift. So I have decided to go back to the blog. There are WAY fewer readers than FB. But if you are going to take the time to find me and read this, then hopefully you aren't here to bust on me.<p>There's been lots of knitting and some crocheting, a camping trip, and planning for a fall trip. Pictures to follow.Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-81772416795695152102010-01-04T12:17:00.011-05:002010-01-04T12:38:16.334-05:00Happy 2010!Happy New Year! I hope to post a bit more this year than I did last year. While I don't make New Years resolutions, I do try to make improvements on myself and the world around me. We shall see. It's only the 4th and the boys only just went back to work and school making room for life to be a little more normal again. Christmas week is always topsy turvy with Pete home and the kids home and the boys' birthdays and this year having Dad here. So the utter quiet is a welcome change. Knitting has been little to none so I hope to remedy that. And I'd like to get to sewing more. I enjoyed making the Patchfolio for Jackie and know two more little girls who might like one.<p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3uHmnnXaHRFzEy1Cev44DbmfLa7VoCvfDnF6Ou9OIYoc19y9Omo2PV88znX2fMhGqV3RrtcsHNT9C0NT_uAn9SNCOdIs4mkAfgeS9A7HNwVziLov0gYjP_u9oX2N44_Xf8h1-mfHEqw/s1600-h/JackieFolioOpen2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422937598216169890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi3uHmnnXaHRFzEy1Cev44DbmfLa7VoCvfDnF6Ou9OIYoc19y9Omo2PV88znX2fMhGqV3RrtcsHNT9C0NT_uAn9SNCOdIs4mkAfgeS9A7HNwVziLov0gYjP_u9oX2N44_Xf8h1-mfHEqw/s320/JackieFolioOpen2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJbPRAs12trju2tYZh4I_wtJHz3Bl_XFgHjRZpPTMBDhj2RAkaxtdxsHKjitbx8RNAhBEflS5CTaRxi0Ip4P-5UqXydJV4ELdnT8rDalm0ZBSJpN1rdvzHBuShyphenhyphen4pRdR24riKn8cvxw0/s1600-h/JackieFolioClosed.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422937438661398290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 308px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJbPRAs12trju2tYZh4I_wtJHz3Bl_XFgHjRZpPTMBDhj2RAkaxtdxsHKjitbx8RNAhBEflS5CTaRxi0Ip4P-5UqXydJV4ELdnT8rDalm0ZBSJpN1rdvzHBuShyphenhyphen4pRdR24riKn8cvxw0/s320/JackieFolioClosed.jpg" border="0" /></a> Patchfolio</div><div align="center">Pattern by <a href="http://craftapple.wordpress.com/">Craftapple</a><br />For Jackie for Christmas<br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422935350261629042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhLf8UzU-2SczcN1qMI2NqqPeDmB42-vhRR-t7MqBg73L6o9r-uYy0KgVnhWaIeBa8wwCaTJUeMIBamIrj7Sb-JGm1Rgw2r8cDzMjWKp7hMuj4NlF7ulof_Etd5ggLJTJeSzSoksvx5I/s320/SamanthaFinished.jpg" border="0" /> Samantha for Pete's co-worker's new baby<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422935210011469026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5oLeee_KLDt2pDSiJqf2-TnPoG0rooJlJBfM87FcCrgo_txIn76GNYNlzGx0iTXp5twQqx7P2UHfoWcYQmx-xnpf1ugcmQemsUawrGVSbNGEne460YXiJ5i_90RxQ2btg99Cr8NUH_DM/s320/LaceCableSocksFinished.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div></div><div align="center">Lace and Cable Socks<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /> </div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><p><br /><br /></p><div><br /><br /></div><p> </p><div align="center"><br /> </div><p align="center"> </p>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-37874826933292891752009-11-06T10:10:00.001-05:002009-11-06T10:13:13.603-05:00Mom<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4lE8uhmSd2aYs4LazSM9RYkln9VVpILSAgQ4oT7nvWV0s_WALH2G9AWrcJo9oPtt3Nlm6nBBShDyL78bjq4wYU4frcJ7l13qnUpjDLOZzN_ryfAVoGbre-WLgwmVgh5nY8QbTVrB7jY/s1600-h/MomAndMe.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401008696446077442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4lE8uhmSd2aYs4LazSM9RYkln9VVpILSAgQ4oT7nvWV0s_WALH2G9AWrcJo9oPtt3Nlm6nBBShDyL78bjq4wYU4frcJ7l13qnUpjDLOZzN_ryfAVoGbre-WLgwmVgh5nY8QbTVrB7jY/s320/MomAndMe.jpg" border="0" /></a> I love you and miss you everyday!<br />11-6-2008<br /></div>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-76845423416674122672009-11-03T19:24:00.003-05:002009-11-03T19:27:49.546-05:00WOOT and UGHSo Zach took his second driving test today and PASSED!!!! That gets a woot! Zach had the flu over the weekend and now Pete has it. Because Pete had his seasonal flu shot the beginning of October, we are assuming he has H1N1. That would be UGH!!!!!!!!! Is it a matter of time before I get it too? Time will tell.

It's in what was originally a horseshoe pit beyond the pool fence that the former homeowners had installed and we never used. There are tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and green beans. The zucchini and green beans I started from seeds. So far, it's doing well. The weather hasn't been consistantly warm and there have been frost warnings not far north west of here. But we've been lucky. I'm looking forward to having fresh vegetables to eat.<br /><br /><br /></div>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-42050196316351427752009-06-01T11:54:00.004-04:002009-06-01T11:58:10.887-04:00Crochet?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJFpanMwxvO7tsTPZUzCy3yEAYTqlnfUnXYqmDNTAHerKFlETz0ux0JEnhxLo0u7c3IikzW4ZF7P0BmRP-zFvEb4XWJyrHf94cpGsDmeNxlQmb7fKVfTRBpOjd8kuhKFlHgFRdeiYAlw/s1600-h/CrochetSquares.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342388342130326770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJFpanMwxvO7tsTPZUzCy3yEAYTqlnfUnXYqmDNTAHerKFlETz0ux0JEnhxLo0u7c3IikzW4ZF7P0BmRP-zFvEb4XWJyrHf94cpGsDmeNxlQmb7fKVfTRBpOjd8kuhKFlHgFRdeiYAlw/s400/CrochetSquares.jpg" border="0" /></a> I haven't crocheted in years.

I have to say I'm not thrilled with this yarn. To me there's nothing worse than knots in sock yarn. While working this heel, what did I come across? Yes, a knot. So I have a double repeat of the green and brown through most of the middle of the sock. Yuck. I chose to buy this colorway because I thought it was predominantly aqua/gray/purple with maybe a little bit of green. It is soooo not the case. I think my fascination with Noro is over. Oh well, at least I gave it a try.<br /><div></div>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025115284264545931.post-40722025880818118002009-03-09T12:30:00.006-04:002009-03-09T12:43:11.618-04:00Progress On Acer<div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6hyphenhyphenI4ZHX2cxbeerCGqZ8l4gz_lGgVUf8nw1opV8Bp22UbCYckV-vGWiJU980NPI22iqufqy7d9NcbAEmn_MUqhnVyEgZlTboMcMUShO3QFClIz0rmCG6UZkOSN6DhuuuClF9uQzkU8NQ/s1600-h/AcerYoke.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311226507767491314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6hyphenhyphenI4ZHX2cxbeerCGqZ8l4gz_lGgVUf8nw1opV8Bp22UbCYckV-vGWiJU980NPI22iqufqy7d9NcbAEmn_MUqhnVyEgZlTboMcMUShO3QFClIz0rmCG6UZkOSN6DhuuuClF9uQzkU8NQ/s320/AcerYoke.JPG" border="0" /></a> I've made quite a bit of progress on my <a href="http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/">Acer</a>. I'm actually in the middle of the waist shaping in the stockinette portion of the body under the yoke-maybe 6-7 inches down. It's been a fast knit and I'd love to finish it before it gets too warm.<br /><p></p></div><br /><br /><div>Pete and I spent the afternoon in Boston with Peter yesterday. What fun we had! I really miss my boy. He was an excellent tour guide or maybe I should say navigator getting us on this train then that train. Pete and I wouldn't have had a clue. It was in the 6o's which made for an excellent walk through the common and down Comm Ave. to Newbury St. and the Boston Public Library. <p></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311228936397225122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPvJ9DOLHRZsNLPWAFJBtHv-2iqipQz5QQkrDEnocpodG7WqILzXExfY70ypNw2eWkcXJNsPzYsvmZ6ThzqhUW9fQuMuo4-UYz_AE9sHTzmp7n_Fp6A_6ghjTNZzuWkwylggk2O8uR6M/s320/PublicLibrary2.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311229139777798850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmmRqrcT48YMsmazRZfOoswv__di4kBqWvlBA9BH0P7-EqOp9pkDVgPZvDOSwZqLsrNQj8NjbLcZb76_cdVX2bE2x-wnwGo3LRAgoaH1hheYKLCVs9jcZ5WqxxkIfepusHzHCW8XJs3Xw/s320/BostonCommon3.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17303522623019698358noreply@blogger.com0
