Jul 16th, 2008. The new place is a still a complete cardboard box jungle, but unpacking is the fun part! As requested, here are a couple photos of some things I like about the house. Keep in mind I'm not showing off the peeling cracked (probably lead) paint on the outside trim boards on the house that need desperate attention! The buffet in the dining room. The built-in bookcase next to the fireplace, very typical for homes this age in this city. Posted at 01:34 pm. Tara Manning- mindful knitting.

Jun 25th, 2008. I was digging through some old journals entries and found the recipe for the caffine chocolate cookies of Dooooom. To preface, the LA Times published a recipe in each week's foodie section- people write in asking for the secret to their favorite thing at a local restaurant. One week it was a cookie recipe. I think the bakery's name is Crumble, but I can't remember and lost the clipping. Warning! Really sinful brownie/cookie recipe from a bakery in Los Angeles. In a small bowl, mix togethe...

Anyhow, the summer has been good. The goal was to get a plan for the direction our yard is going to go- my mother visted in May and brought with a stack of garden books. Visiting the MN Arboretum and going on long walks in the neighborhood helped form an idea of what might work for our patch of weeds. Priority at this point is:. Whisper Cardigan from Spring Interweave in Cascade Heritage sock yarn (moss green) (after ripping out half of it for resizing to the small) I'm half way to the 2nd sleeve and the...

Oct 18th, 2011. Finally caught some local seasonal fruit right at the start of the apple season to can earlier in September. Haralson Apple Preserves turned out quite sweet and will be good for making mini apple pies for Thanksgiving maybe, or just as gifts of apple jam. I used the leftovers from canning to mix in with oatmeal. Yum! Posted at 05:07 pm. Aug 26th, 2011. A century of knitting. Http:/ www.sctimes.com/article/2011. Posted at 02:52 pm.

Happy New Year - norseland

One good thing about getting almost two feet of snow over Christmas is getting a lot of knitting done. I finished the Irish Hiking Scarf I'd started with Malabrigo Twist (new yarn that I wanted to try out). It's a heavy worsted yarn. It'll pill like all Malabrigo, but I like the feel of it a lot better than their worsted. Posted on Dec. 30th, 2009 at 04:19 pm. Gorgeous :). Happy new year to you as well!

We're doing a small relaxed holiday this year, spouse is on call, so staying in town. I'm looking forward to making a couple of pies tomorrow. Went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival this past weekend at the U o MN. It's a great mix of high tension high athletic skiing, rock climbing, base jumping films along side thought provoking environmental and cultural films (i.e.: Mongolian horse racing, restoring monastic art in Tibet). PS Knitting is going well, finished the Berroco sweater! Textile Center of MN.

Feb 4th, 2008. It is snowing. Maybe even 4 inches worth of snow expected today. As the weather person on MPR reminded everyone, this is the first measurable snow since the big dump at Christmas. The best part? It will cover up the dog poop from the neighbor's dog (we share a yard). I'm using Cascade Pastaza and size 10 needles. In a short time I've gotten the body and tummy of the sheep done. Just the head, hooves, ears and tail left and then sewing him up, and finding a suitable washing machine.
