Dakota has a peanut butter problem.. and just to give you some perspective on how big this dog really is.. He weighs approx 100lbs.. and that jar? is the BIGass jar.. the one you get from the BOTTOM shelf at supermarket! I think he may be the next featured junkie on Intervention! Although he is MONSTROUS.. he's the most gentle freight train to ever mow you down (b/c you know.. a 100lb retreiver canNOT stop on a dime!)in the street whilst wizzing like a sprinkler just to show you how excited he is to see YOU...

And I attempted to sew up the Heroine.. and well.. it's CUFFED.. :) and I threw in corner.. Sinatra's made use of it.. for now.. I'll just recycle it, when he gets up...

Further, I finished the Fan Neckwarmer.. I like it.. VERY simple pattern...

Fleece Earflap Hat

This was THE best instant gratification project to date...Took me one day!.. and the knitting in of the fleece was fun and different.. The fleece from Marvelous Merino's Etsy shop is WONDERFUL!!!!... you have to try it!...incredibly soft!!!

Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande

Fleece: Marvelous Merino's Natural Top (undyed)

Size made: Youth

The last two pictures were taken BEFORE I beat the fleece (ahem felted, the fleece w/a brush.) and trimmed it up.

C likes it.. I still have a good amount left of the fleece.. I'm guessing enough to thrumb some mittens, so the remainder WILL get used.! Love this stuff!

Holy Crap.. its Bambo!

You had a full day.. .You worked all day...You go to your twins' parent meeting at the high school, because they're going to be freshmen next year.. (how did that happen?) You get home, clean up the mess in the kitchen that the family left for you..whilst cursing under your breath.... You're exhausted.. and go to bed.. you're asleep within 5 min.. Then, you are startled awake around midnight by what sounds like someone walking around the front walk of the house and the driveway with what sounds like they're wearing snow shovels for shoes! No, I don' t have super sonic ears.. ok.. well, I do... BUT I ALSO HAVE a shitload of ice all over my driveway and walkaway.. FYI - Please don't come to my house as I'm sure I will lose it in court, once the UPS guy comes to deliver some package and slips... In fact.. I'm thinking of posting a sign in my yard stating for all packages to be delivered up the driveway via the curling method as seen in the Winter Olympics. Prizes may be drawn from mailbox, take any bill you like.

Anyhow, back to the 'HOLY CRAP, who's outside!!!?'... b/c they are REALLY freaking loud.. you try to peek out blinds, but you can't see anything. So you creep down the stairs and look out the little window adjacent to the front door...and still nothing.. so you open the door slightly.. and what do you see???a big ASS deer!.. I don't mean a little doe..... I mean A BIG ASS DEER w/ ANTLERS (it's freaking BAMBO!!!) and he's got 3 of his friends with him...( I think one of them was smoking)... Anyhow, I quietly SHOO them all away.. no problem.. it'll only take about an hour for my BP to regulate.. and I fall back asleep.. and then wouldn't you know it...the SOB +3 came back again. Which I promptly thumped hubby and asked that he take care of it...so.. he creeps down the stairs and slowly opens front door.. and yells 'HEAYAH!' I think one of them ran straight into the side of my neighbor's house...
Tonight...? LOCK and LOAD, baby.. beebee style
