My, my, my. Wasn't I here a few weeks ago waxing about how I was just about to finish Lily's sweater? And here it is, still on the needles, albeit with a sleeve and a half more than where I left it. I guess knitting gets the backburner when life's little obstacles get in the way. But I am happy to report that after a couple of weeks of such little obstacles (sniffles, and long commutes, and the ever-present household chores), we are all feeling back in business. And even during those challenging couple of weeks I have made some progress, and it is close, oh so close to being done.
I'm going through Little House in the Big Woods, one chapter a day, with the two little girls, and we all love it and love to recount what we read to Ben at the dinner table. I really believe those books never get old, don't you think?
Oh, and I must add, I was sitting right there, beside the cute little baby and the knitting and the book the second before and after I snapped the photo: doesn't it look just a bit precarious? And you'll see the handiwork of two little "gardeners" who took out the dirt from the basil pots and did some planting of their own on our deck. I suppose God gives us rain for a reason.
Linking in with Ginny and friends at the Yarn Along today!

I got a little bit freaked out when I saw this photo and thought the needle was poking him in the head. Looks like such a cozy moment :)
Totally off topic, but I remember reading somewhere on your blog that you can make popcorn just in a pot on the stove. Are there any special directions or do you just throw some kernels in a pot until they're done? I'm interested!
Sometimes that happens. You think you'll get more done in the following week and then pouf! Time escapes or is filled with other things. I'm sure it'll look great once completed.
that photo sums up life. precarious. my deck usually looks the same, and that little cherub with knitting and reading besides is lovely...peaceful...

What a beautiful picture of the life of a busy mom!
You know how much I love the Little House books! I can't wait until a couple of years when I can read them over again to Nora!
Aindrea, about the popcorn, I usually warm about two tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat with a couple of kernels of corn in it in a large pot. When the kernels pop, I add a cup of corn kernels, cover, and shake it a few times a minute until the popping stop (which means the corn has all popped). Then we season it with some salt and butter. Good luck!
Kerry, I think that partly I just read those books because I love them so! We should start a Little House fan club. :-)
I love this photo! The sweaters look fabulous. The one the baby is wearing and the one beside the baby!
What a cute photo this is! Such a sweet looking baby.
