The ice has been installed at Nissan Stadium! It's finally here! The week all Preds fans have been dreaming about! It's Smashville Week for the Nashville Predators. On Thursday, goalie legend, Pekka Rinne, will have his jersey retired and hung in the rafters. It's the first time a Predator has been honored in this way… Continue reading Happy Smashville Week!
Come on spring!
With January out of the picture, February brings thoughts of spring. The weather isn't nearly as cold now (and my electric bill will, I hope, reflect that next month) and my thoughts have turned to outdoor activities. I've been working with Speckman on retrieving a flying disc. This disc canvas web with a rubber edge.… Continue reading Come on spring!
We’ve Hit the Winter Doldrums
When is it spring? I can't believe we're already running up on February! The weather is still bipolar. 58F one day, 38F the next. I am looking forward to spring! My Sea Glass Tee is nearing the end. A couple more inches on the body, some short sleeves and it will be ready to wear.… Continue reading We’ve Hit the Winter Doldrums
Snow Days!
My sun globe has a snow hat The weather in the south is schizophrenic. On January 1st it was 77F, on January 3rd it was 37F and it snowed 4". Temps rose back to 57F on January 5, and on January 6th it snowed again. This really doesn't bode well for 2022 (or climate change).… Continue reading Snow Days!
Learn Something New in 2022
I finally landed on my 2022 affirmation. It just so happens that Craftsy has a sale going on - platinum membership for $2.97. Yes, $2.97. Check it out. I did this last year and watched a bunch of videos for all kinds of crafts. This also means I will finally learn to steek. Do you… Continue reading Learn Something New in 2022
2022 coming in hot
Even though 2020 and 2021 were sh*tshows, time just seemed to fly by. It's hard to believe that in just 2 weeks, we'll be celebrating a new year. Of course, between now and then there is a ton to do for Christmas. No rest for the weary. This is also the time of year I… Continue reading 2022 coming in hot
Adventures are not always fun, but always interesting
It's been a fairly long gap (again) in posts. I've been busy working, traveling, and training.This week I was able to combine working my day job with agility by visiting a potential client early in the week and staying on for the weekend trial. Not something I would like to do often though. It's expensive… Continue reading Adventures are not always fun, but always interesting
Thankful for so many things
Our little, temporary, slice of knitting heaven Last weekend was our long-awaited Girls Weekend, last held in 2019. Four friends, former co-workers, and fiber fanatics rent a cabin in a rural area. We eat, drink and craft all weekend long. If you've never done this with friends, you absolutely must. It's a balm for the… Continue reading Thankful for so many things
I’ve been boosted!
I got my COVID-19 booster shot, courtesy of Clinical Research Associates. Fortunately, they warned me that my post-vaccine reaction would be similar to my reaction to the original vaccine. Unfortunately, they were right. Man, the fever, aches, and chills were bad but the headache was the worst! Good news is, I was fine within 24… Continue reading I’ve been boosted!
Progress, Not Perfection
I've been out of pocket for a few weeks longer than I had planned. It's been a busy fall. New job. Agility trials. FastCat events. Hockey is back! Finally, the fall weather seems to have arrived! It's cool and I can wear my knit sweaters. I live for these days. On the knitting front, I've… Continue reading Progress, Not Perfection
