Pens, Paper, & Ammo

I love, love, love cowls and scarves… but never find the time to finish one during the winter season.  This year I decided to get a head start and knitted up this quick little cowl out of some lovely wool-blend yarn which I received in a swap.  The simple pattern makes it go so quickly and it’s easy enough to memorize - even with a hyper just-started-walking baby around!  I loves it.  I loves it good.

First of all, I have become hopelessly addicted to Doctor Who recently.  After surfing around on Ravelry, I found a pattern for a Dalek dishcloth called EXFOLIATE!  I mean, how could I NOT knit one?

 Let us please mourn the loss of my Harry Potter Ravenclaw scarf which sacrificed its short life to become this amazingly awesome dish cloth.  Amen.

Secondly, what do you do when your husband makes pounds upon pounds of spaghetti?  You make spaghetti frittata!  Om-nom-nom!

The recipe can be found here!  You can basically add anything to this dish - we added a bit of leftover ham lunchmeat and some shredded cheese.  It was amazing!

 And, finally, the requisite cute baby picture!

Not the best pictures I’ve ever taken, but the model was sure cute! Side-note: I stayed up far too late knitting that little jacket… *yawn*

I have had my first cup of Rita’s.

Hey, I said I would take a picture every day.  I never said I would take a good picture every day.  Side note: Cappuccino cream/fat-free custard gelati is for the noms.

I love Spring.  I must admit that it isn’t my favorite season - that would be Fall - but Spring is a close second.  I took a brief stroll outside to collect our lawn-chairs from the wind last night, and found this little guy poking out of the decorative stones along our house.

What type of flower is this?  They are, literally, everywhere on our property.

The Nooblet stood on her own today!  Granted, she was kind of wedged in between the wall and her toybox… but still, no hands!  Also, note the bobbin - she’s going to be a spinner!

I make some really good fish sandwiches.  I mean, I can even get the Mecha-Hubby to eat them.

Super easy too… dip some tilapia in egg, coat in bread crumbs, fry with non-stick cooking spray until flaky.  Yummy and healthy.

Oh yeah… and THIS:

My Kiwi came today!!!

Really, do I need to say anything else?

I’ve named him (I’m convinced that Kiwis are male…) Ytterbium.

The first spinning session went pretty smoothly

Ignore the stuff nearest the orifice… that was my poor attempt at an artsy yarn.  The green in the back is probably the most evenly spun singles I have ever made.   I am in love.
