The Knitting for Noggins 2007 round up
Yesterday we delivered the hats to Arkansas Children's Hospital that we've been working on for the past month. I have personally twisted arms on everyone in my influence to get them knitting or croche...
New Knitters
Here's another shot of what peer pressure looks like...2 new knitters! Like water dripping on rocks, we wore down these 2 and then threw in a great charity to push them over the edge. Each made a hat ...
Peer Pressure complete
So this is the finished Peer Pressure hat and his brother, One to Grow On. Since the goal was 4 and I did 6, I'm done. DONE. No more hats for me. Back to the other projects I have going...sweater time...
The last hat, I think
My goal was 4 hats. I now have 4 completed hats. Of course, the deadline is also 10 days away. And every time someone around here brings in a new hat, I think I could probably do that one too. Unless ...

The snake silver lining
To finish up my beautiful Saturday morning, I stopped at Lake Degray to go on a hike, snap a few photos, see what I could remember. I made the mistake of telling a guy that I was going to get out sinc...
The easiest trail ever
To anyone that might need to walk approximately 1 mile in the woods for some reason...this is the easiest trail ever. My book rated it 1 hot dog. And I agree. You have to be able to finish strong as t...
And then the lake shots
Every morning and afternoon, Darcy and I got out to take a walk. We had 2 paths, one along this side of the lake and these docks and the other around that side and those docks. Each ended at the boat ...
The view from the deck
Since it's Sunday afternoon and I'm mourning the end of my vacation, I'm reliving the good times with some photos. I took some of these while I lounged on the deck, shortly after sunrise. I've been sp...
