My finished cable knit socks!

I have only worn them for this photo... they are headed into a needle craft exhibit at our church for the month of February. (Will it still be cold enough to wear them in March??)

The Avett Brothers (and solo stuff from Seth)

[ I love this photo btw---so hilarious]

I adore the Avett Brothers and here is Seth doing solo stuff... who knew?? I am going to Chicago on March 6-8 to see them at the House of Blues that Sunday! I cannot wait. I am missing them at Missouri Theater in Columbia... but seriously what are they doing from the 2nd (in Columbia) and the 7th on Sunday (in Chicago)... perfect opportunity to stop in STL... someone needs to call and make a suggestion...

They are the best live! Their concerts are super fun and I wish people who like them could make the trip with me. (James and friend are going but they won't appreciate it liek some people would....)

Christmas Eve 2009!

Sebastian and me at church on Christmas Eve. Collin took the photo.

my finished cable knit sock (#1)

my first attempt at knitting cables...

This is my cabled sock I am knitting. It is amazingly simple to knit cables... My pal Becky gave me this yarn for my birthday and said I have to find a pattern that has an interesting pattern or design knitted into it... I thought cables would be fun and saw on Youtube how easy cables really are... I can't wait until I am done. I want to wear them.

Cables and other misc stuff...

I taught myself to knit cables from Youtube... super easy! I will have to post a photo of my socks in progress... they look so neat! Next might have to be an actual cable sweater... oohh that sounds scary... I have to get through one and half more socks...

I think I am hosting Thanksgiving at my new tiny apartment... it'll be cozy and fun hopefully... I actually might have to buy two more plates to match my fiestaware so everyone can have matching dishes.

I'm going to see In the Heights tonight at the Fox Theater... free tix... can't pass them up...Tomorrow I am helping my friend Nicole paint her house...

Christmas will be here before we know it... I have my mom for the Xmas exchange... I need to figure out what I am getting her. And I need to get Sebastian her bike. I told her I would get her one when she learned to read. Well, she's a reading fool and Aunt Becky needs to make good on her promise. I'll have to look on Craigslist...

One month since Brent and Margaret got married and tomorrow is one year since Brent proposed to her... wow time goes fast...

Happy Tuesday night!!

~ciao!

November 1st!!

Sebastian looks spooky... you can still see her eye makeup from Halloween. Our friend Jim at church took this photo. I kept her up too late and got her up too early. (What a bad auntie!!)

Oh how I do love that girl!!
