What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
In progress:
The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. In time out.
Tardis Tribute Socks: in time out
Knitted Knockers: www.knittedknockers.org. And free patterns abound; try Tit Bits on Knitty for the general idea. An A cup is a 5" diameter. Add one-half inch to increase to each larger size.
Finished:
Nancy's Coronet--my handspun and Cascade 220 in cream. Emerald green yarn is from fiber dyed by Red Fish Dyeworks
Dizzy Blondes:
No spinning...still spinning mentally about selling a few wheels off...
Strategy:

A simple guide to using the most efficient form of discipline developed by parents and tested by psychologists.
How to start using it, how to manage those moments when your kid discovers how to defy the system. The Instant Time-Out. The kid who counts faster than you do.
Put a Lid On It:
Making your own Vanilla extract for baking.
After 3 weeks of infusion....:
Aw Shoot!
The Chardonnay Run: Crowded, but well-managed and fun. I took a lot of pics for other runners to support the movement to End Drunk Selfies.
As you can see, we got a glass of chilled wine and a decent box of fruit and cheese and crackers afterward. A pretty course, mainly flat and fast.

Flex: steps and sleep ONLY, falling-off band $100
Charge: steps, sleep, watchface + stairs climbed + falling-off band $150.
Charge HR: Charge + heart=rate monitor+ buckled wristband $189

Helping in the kitchen by setting alarms, reporting the weather, and giving me useful info
Helping me play tricks on my boys

WeMo--turns on the lights with proper switches installed
