I Got My Invitation!

Yesterday I got my invitation to Ravelry. How exciting! To my amazement I saw that my yarn had arrived long before me. My username is SunnysideEllen and my yarn’s brand name is Sunnyside Ellen. Silly, I know, but I had no idea when I signed up for the first time.

Unfortunately I do not have much time to spare to explore Ravelry further right now.  I am working on getting some custom orders ready and to dye more transitional yarns.

I also just found out, that my youngest, who is 2 1/4 years younger than her sister, can’t wear her sister’s Jazz shoes from last year. Sigh! Beware of little girls with big feet!  I am off shopping – again!

Getting Ready!

I am very sorry about blogging so little lately, but as it seems, I cannot do it all! As I have mentioned before, I had oral surgery last week and while the place itself healed well I must have hurt my neck. So I have been feeling dizzy and have had lots of headaches.

The other big task in my life right now is trying to get 3 kids ready for school next week. I have bought 6 pairs of shoes in 2 days! Why so many, you ask? Well, there are my-shoes-are-too-small shoes, inside shoes, gym shoes and dance shoes. I still have to get tap shoes and 2 pairs of those nice boots for the raining season!

And do not get me started on the supplies! I am finally getting a better understanding, if the item on my list is what I am staring at in the shelf. And whoever came up with the idea, that every single item should be labeled, is invited to my house to do it! I’ll even serve coffee!  My kids love to draw, so the 18 pens box won’t do. In the end we have to label hundreds of pencils, markers, crayons etc. each year. Maybe this year it will be that, if you find an unlabeled pen in the classroom, it belongs to my kid….

Ok, I am off the soapbox now! I took three knitting projects with me on my vacation. The socks, the red vest and I started a blue wrap.  After wearing the red vest a few times I had to admit, that my “little mistake” proved to be quite uncomfortable to wear. I made the one front piece about an inch too short in the armhole. So I decided to take it with me and rework it. I will tell you all about it soon, I hope….

Happy Birthday, H.!


My youngest daughter is seven today!!! And although this is quite old, she admitted a few days ago, that she will always be my little one. Oi!
Thank you for making me laugh so often and for the frequent cuddles! I hope, you are having a great day today!

Greetings From Old Faithful

I am back from our vacation and we had a great time. However I had oral surgery yesterday and I feel like I do not quite know, what I am doing here. So I will take it slowly for a couple of days and tell you more once I am more clear headed… (There will be knitting!)

I Am Off

We are leaving for our summer vacation tomorrow! Yeah! I’ll see you when I am back.

I hope, I’ll have something knitted to show you….
