Knitting on the Rogue River

Thought I’d let the world know I haven’t disappeared entirely. I’ll post an update this weekend, or sooner. 2 more grandkids and lots of fibery goodness. BTW – It’s my birthday today

Wow! It’s been 6 months since my last post! Since registering on Ravelry most of my internet time has been spent there. Which doesn’t help any of my friends and family that aren’t fiber nuts like me and the other folks on Ravelry.com. I’ve changed the look of my blog and will probably work on [...]

Kiera will be one year old on the 11th of this month. A whole year has passed, hard to believe. She is such a cute baby! She also has super powers! She’s only like this once or twice a day.  Here’s grandpa enjoying himself. In a few months there will be another baby for grandpa [...]

This last weekend my youngest daughter, Nicki, got married. It was a wonderful ceremony and all of my children were there. Just wish my mom & dad could have made it too. A picture of all of the kids together can be see here. You can view all of the wedding pictures if you want [...]

Thank you to all for your comments about my brother. There are no guarantees in this life and I only wished he had lived his life differently. Enough said on that. Here we are on New Year’s Eve. It was the perfect evening for us, we were home by 10:30. In my long absense from [...]

The hubby has returned! He got hired full time by a local medical clinic so he’s back! I’m so happy! Happy dance! While he was in Eugene he started bike riding again, taking a cruise 2 or 3 times a week. Eugene is such a bike friendly town and he really enjoyed his rides. He enjoyed them so [...]

Hubby had to work last weekend so didn’t get to work on the trees in back until this weekend. The two top images were taken after the third picture. The youngest and hubby did a lot of work this weekend to get it cleared out and ready for the man with the chipper. The green [...]

Last Wednesday a storm moved through my area and left this in my backyard. This oak was around 125 feet tall and very nearly hit the house. If there hadn’t been three other trees to catch it I wouldn’t be sitting here typing because the tree would have crashed into the house and destroyed my [...]

I spent most of my sick day Thursday weaving some bookmarks on my inkle loom. My first project on the loom. Not very imaginative colorwise but the next project will have more pizzazz. In this project I drafted my first inkle pattern, warped for the first time and had an end in mind when I [...]
