Der Himmel ist Grau: 5Ks complete!
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/04/5ks-complete.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. One of my 2015 resolutions was to complete a 5k. I have now completed two! The first was April 4, the April Fools 5k in Bloomingdale. I finished in 34 minutes 11 seconds! Minorities, especially Asians, are really underrepresented in the donor pool, and a recipient has the best chance of a match with people of the same race / ethnicity. That's almost a full minute faster. Yay for me. At any rate, that's two resolutions down! Subscr...

Der Himmel ist Grau: Do it for Dad week
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/06/do-it-for-dad-week.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Monday, June 22, 2015. Do it for Dad week. In that vein, I thought this week I would mindfully take time to do things that would make him proud. I called it Do it for Dad week, and here's the run-down of my schedule:. Monday, June 15. Enjoyed beer and food at a friend's place. Lots of good conversation and laughs. Tuesday, June 16. I took myself on a date to the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette, which is just north of where I work in Evanston. Wednesday, June 17.

Der Himmel ist Grau: It's hip to be square
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-hip-to-be-square.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Sunday, July 12, 2015. It's hip to be square. My crochet group is doing a sampler afghan of 7 inch squares to make a blanket to donate to Warm Up America. We're using up odds and ends and just making it as crazy as possible. Here are some of my more interesting squares:. I have been wanting to do Bavarian crochet since I found this book. One of the ladies in my crochet group suggested doing the Denna square. This pattern is from Splish Splash Dishcloths.

Der Himmel ist Grau: "Just in time" for summer...
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/06/just-in-time-for-summer.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Just in time" for summer. Sometimes you just can't finish something in time for the end of cold weather. This is the case with a few of my recently finished projects, including some beautiful long gauntlets and a poncho. (Although the poncho is actually pretty light, I think it would be perfect for a cool summer night.). Visiting the husband, and I thought it was something cute to make a cowl out of. The only thing is that the yarn...

Der Himmel ist Grau: Turtle cozy
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/06/turtle-cozy.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Thursday, June 18, 2015. I know I just posted some new projects yesterday, but I had to share this:. My coworker sent me a coy message that she heard a rumor I crochet turtle shell covers (sweaters? I don't know what to call this). I said I hadn't done one, but that I could find a pattern and do one easily. I did find a pattern. And it was easy, but I had to make it a little bigger for this particular turtle, a 20-year-old red slider named Michelangelo!

Der Himmel ist Grau: One New Year's resolution complete!
http://sommesoldier.blogspot.com/2015/03/one-new-years-resolution-complete.html
Der Himmel ist Grau. Blog butcher to the world. Monday, March 02, 2015. One New Year's resolution complete! I went to get tattoos this weekend with my little sister, so cross one item off of my resolutions for 2015. We went to Basement Ink in Oak Forest! And I had Eamonn:. I think he always saw us as his little girls, freckled and innocent, not tattooed and wild.). Here's mine, which is a play on Polish folk art flowers that my friend showed me. Don't worry, I checked if it was OK! The Battle of the Somme.
