Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

This recipe turned out so tasty I had to take a picture of it. The recipe came from the April issue of Country Living. I made a few adjustments and I will post my recipe as soon as I find the magazine.

Mittens in a Heat Wave

Can you believe I was knitting this mitten this weekend and the temperatures were above 90 degrees. Good thing Jason keeps our house so cool or else I would have certaintly melted.

I made this easy mitten in varigated baby alpaca. The pattern came from my latest read, Fleece Navidad by Maggie Sefton. I just love her books. I can't wait for the newest one to come out in June, it's called Dropped dead Stitch.

Eagles Green Vest

I finally finished the Eagles Green vest for JJ. I am proud to say that it is may be the best garment I have knitted so far. It fits JJ perfectly and it is very warm.

Butterfly & Flower Sweater

I have been slowly working on my first color project. The sweater is from my favorite knitting book, Knit 2 Together. It is slowly coming along and I can actually make out the butterfly. The rose has already been completely frogged but the second time around it is working out better.

Visiting little Ty on game day. He is a big eagles fan. He is getting so big. He just had his first day at day care/ pre-school. Such a big boy, and he's only 18 mos.

If a tree falls in your front yard and no one is there to hear it does it make noise?

We were expecting a friend and when he came to the front door he said, " You guys know you have a tree down in your front lawn...right?" Well we had no idea. There had been a lot of rain and the ground was soaked. We has a really strong wind come by and apparently knock down our 30 foot pine tree. We couldn't believe it missed both of our cars in the driveway and the mailbox. Amazingly enough we had the tree removed the very next day, a Sunday. We paid dearly for this speedy weekend service, but we both needed to get our cars out for work on Monday. Jason and I were not fond of this tree but we really miss it. We will be planting something in the spring. I think that will make a grand total of 10 trees we have planted since we moved in in 2006.

Doctor's Bag

My masterpiece is finally finished. This will be my new knitting bag.

It was very enjoyable to knit and quite a bear to put together. It is large enough to carry all of my knitting essentials and more...

The pattern came from the book Knit Two Together by Tracy Ullman and Mel Clark.
