Here’s Maslow and Otis modeling my parents finished clogs! For the first time, Maslow was the
cooperative one and Otis refused to stand – I think this modeling gig is making him a wee bit too entitled.

(yes folks, that’s sunshine beaming in, don’t let it alarm you and don’t stare directly into it)

Back from a great overnight in Chi-town. We really packed in a lot of activity in 24 hours. We stayed at a gorgeous historical motel smack dab on the Magnificent Mile. One of the most incredible features to this hotel, was the 12th floor pool:
The picture doesn’t capture it very well as the tiles [...]
Thanks everyone for your votes of which player you believe to be the frumped up bandit – Otis stole the lead. Here is day two of the hunt as the case lacked some cold hard evidence, but wait…what’s that?
El tigre!!!.
I’m hot on the trail and head to the bedroom for more clues:
Maslow!!!!!!
I want [...]

Remember this:
See on the top, near the right? That’s what I call a funky cable or as my knitting sensai, Sarah calls it “a twisted cable”. I don’t know how it happened and better yet, I’ve learned not to fix it without some supervision:
I e-mailed Sarah in a panic and just couldn’t let it [...]
There is a lot of unfinished business happening over here at the Garcia casa. I picked up knitting for relaxation and lack of deadlines, cheap therapy, and to wear cool stuff. I am discovering that many of my projects have deadlines, are as or more expensive than therapy, and items are usually not intended for [...]
As many of you know, this is my first cuff-down sock and I have to say a lot of fun (by the way, all my needles remain intact so far but a couple are bent). I thought I had seen it all with magical things like felting (on purpose) and blocking but I was introduced [...]
Introducing the newest knitter to the knitting community – ANNETTE!!!!! I was a bit worried about teaching Annette to knit when she entered my home and proclamined that she wanted to knit an afgan or a sweater and pointed at Rae’s entrelac blanket as what she had in mind. I told Annette that maybe learning [...]
Two final pics of our vacation as it is time for me to let go and accept the reality that I do not live near an ocean and that my vacation is truly over and it is time for me to engage in the grieving process (sigh).
Farewell tiny island off of Belize, I will miss [...]
Here we are underwater in Cozumel. I love the look on hubby’s face as he is quite freaked out when fish get too close and he has a pretty firm grip on my hand. I was pretty proud of him – he’s come a long way since our first snorkeling trip together in Puerto [...]
