A charity blanket, for the Stitch-It Podcast Ravelry group. Andrea from Arizona made the blue with ducks stripe, and I made the green flower garden stripe. Now it's on it's way to the next knitter, and will eventually be donated to a needy family.

A sweet 3D flower for our Barnyard Dance charity blanket, made for the Stitch-It Podcast Ravelry group. Now it's on it's way to the next knitter, and will eventually be donated to a needy family.

My first-ever knitted critter. It's supposed to be a lamb, but everybody thinks it's a bear, so... there ya go. If it had a long skinny tail instead of a short nubby tail, I'd think it was a mouse, personally. *shrugs* It was fun, and will be given to my favorite baby EVER.

A cute, sweet little sock monkey made from Blue Moon Fiber Arts' Funky Monkey pattern. Lots of fun, and very quick. It's going to live with my Little Critter Swap partner, and I'll get a precious Little Critter from someone else.

Happy Father's Day, to the hottest Daddy I know.

Thank you for being such an awesome daddy to our boys, and for all you do for our family. We wouldn't be here without you.

Also, Happy Father's Day to MY Daddy. I love you more than you'll ever know. We'll call you in a little bit. I see a road trip in your very near future.

With that, I'm offline to celebrate the day by making bacon, eggs, and pancakes.

This picture quite accurately captures the essence of our family. Or at least the part of the family that's included, LOL.

Roger's on the left, I'm in the middle, and that's Megan, who married Roger's cousin Mike today. Totally candid, not at all pre-planned. Roger and I were sitting there to have our picture taken together, and up walked Megan.

Priceless! I love the expressions on each of our faces, and THIS is what I love most about our family - always laughing and being silly together.

365 yards of Spunky Eclectic Club's May selection, spun up over my last 2 days off. Fractal 2-ply method, hung up on our apple tree for photo glorification. I was wanting to do something besides navajo ply (even though I love navajo plying and the results it gives), although now I wish I'd navajo plied it to preserve the colors - since it definitely dulled the colors to have them all mixed so closely together. I still love it, though!

The weather was not cooperative for doing much else, but we did celebrate our 24th anniversary with a bit of a jaunt in the Camaro. I recorded a video to capture the rumble of the engine, but being a crappy camphone with a tinny microphone, it didn't come out sounding anywhere near as cool as it does in person.
