knittingqueen: February 2010
http://theknittingqueen.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Today's post is about knitting. Because that is all I have to report to you. I still have no job (although something may be on the horizon, so stay tuned.), so I figured, might as well knit! With buckets of yarn and time on my hands, I should put myself to good use. And about two weeks ago I started the coveted, ever-so-hard-to-find-pattern for the Paton's Must Have Cardigan. I will say this- remember the person I met at Avatar who asked me about my knitting? Today Eric is 7!

knittingqueen: Random Musings from a Fake Pioneer
http://theknittingqueen.blogspot.com/2010/03/random-musings-from-fake-pioneer.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Random Musings from a Fake Pioneer. No, really, this has been a week that has reinforced every stereotype of my life up here in Amish country. Like, for instance, the flock of turkeys I passed on the side of the road driving the kids to school. I don't mean that this flock of turkeys was in a fenced-in pen or yard. That would be typical of island life. No, these turkeys were walking down the street. Turkeys. Yes indeedy, they actually thought I was worth a look. They sent me...

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Well, look at me blogging again! That's twice in one week! Don't get too use to it. I finished up these two Who hats that I found here. Pretty darn cute, don't you think? One is for that baby, Blake, and one is for Mara's baby that apparently will never come out. Quick deer update: No sign of the evil one. Don't know if the Irish Spring is actually working, or if the creatures of darkness are haunting another neighborhood this week. We shall see. Works upon booting up. At Bob's ...

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. The Fun, It Never Seems To End. Hello faithful readers. I'm back. Taking a break from the job search to give you an update on how little else is happening in this house right now (except for Eric, who is doing some serious reorganizing of his Pokemon cards, so at least something important is being accomplished around here). How did the craft show go, you ask? Well, remember the update I gave you last week? You can review that for a current update. Thursday, March 19, 2009.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Happy Birthday from Jane! And do you know what that means? It means I haven't blogged since September! How did THAT happen? Let's see- what have I been doing with my time? Honestly, it has taken me 3 days just to compose this post, and after reading to the end you will undoubtedly say. THIS took her 3 days? October also means BIRTHDAYS around here- Mike and I are now officially 41. In our 40's. Old. Sunday my dear friend Jane gave me. More Pagewood Farms.yum. I mean, I. Honestl...

Thursday, May 28, 2009. Q and A with the Queen. Yep, it's time once again for Q and A with the Queen! How was Ryan's party? I will say, out of all those kids you see there, Eric (the only kid who refused to turn around and be in the picture, the little booger) was the loudest. Eric is the consummate little brother: "guys guys hey guys listen to this guys! Ryan has a nice group of friends, and he adores his cousins, Ellie and Jack, so it was a good group. How was the movie? What's new on the job front?

Wednesday, June 2, 2010. Back with a Vengance. So perhaps you may have noticed a longer-than-usual break here at The Knitting Queen. No reason, really. Between my new job at the bank and trying to manage all the people in this 5 acres of craziness, time has somehow slipped by. After a bit, Benita and her family arrived. These are people I had never met and they had never been to our home. At the moment we opened the door to them, I'm thinking. What is that horrid smell? They were carrying armloads of foo...
