Yarn: Yarn Pirate BFL in “Cupcake” Pattern: Broadripple (Ravelry; Knitty.com) Notes: Started these as a KAL in the Hanks group on Ravelry a number of months ago… but kept putting them aside for other, more pressing things. Finally buckled down and made myself finish them last week!

The only reason I haven’t been writing daily updates is because every day it sounds better and better, and that just makes me want to be there more! Sunday – Joe sat up an hour today. We took him around to see the little aviary, full of finches and a …
Another toss-up this week; can I choose all seven? I really like the one that I took of myself holding a photo of Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe; but overall I think this week has to go to the truly creepy sky that we all woke up to last week. …
I think I’m destined to be a day behind all this week. Let’s just accept that, and move on…? Don’t forget– you can have multiple choices, and fill in something under “other” if your favorite vampire isn’t in here!
Totally forgot yesterday was Monday. By the time I remembered it was Monday (not Friday), I was at work and way too busy. So… uh… pretend it’s Monday…? The Question of the Week is… what additional commandment would you add to the ten? My answer is after the cut…
