Ice Queen? King? Prince?

But first, a report on that dinner I had planned for last night. Well I was making pasta. I thought it would be very smart of me to go ahead and make dough for Italian bread with the breadmaker. I mean that's what the little beast is there for, no?

Well so I put in flour, sugar, salt, butter, milk and water. Sounds good right? Anything missing?


Turns out that indeed something WAS missing. When I took the dough out, it had not risen at all. Alas, no yeast. Dumbass. I had brought the little packet over, set it next to the breadmaker, but it didnt jump in all by itself! Who knew huh?!

Hockey puck with your pasta? No? Well hey whatever.

I just finished Ice Queen. Since my mom isn't here to model it for me, pretend.


Hey he offered. Now that it's done I can start something new (yay). I haven't decided exactly what it will be, but I can't wait! The Chief and I are going to Columbus for a wedding (quite possibly drunk photos to follow) of his Uncle Joe and soon to be Aunt Becky. That means lots of knitting time in the car.

WTF Friday! Brought to you by a bewildered Bammers

Well, my little chickens, last night after Parent Teacher conferences (Number 5 is doing swimmingly. The only problem is that things seem to come to him so easily that he doesn't take his time and work as much as he really should), The Chief and I came home and snuggled up and he put a new show on the TV. Have you guys seen this?

Whoa

Ok, first of all, I was raised around a lot of rednecks. I grew up in a really small town and I even dated some rednecks. I"m not knocking them and I would even say I have a few tendencies that could be called "redneck", but really, when did we decide to start putting this kinda stuff on TV for entertainment. Some of it is downright GAROSS. One lady lost her set of false teeth the day of her wedding and her (very helpful) mom said, "You want mine?"

Um what? Is this something we're doing now? Sharing TEETH??? Whatever next? Bridesmaids all in camo? (yes) Mud wrestling brides? (yep that too)

Look at my embryonic Ice Queen. (must have photos of yarn)



I'm using Rowan Kidsilk Haze in color Hurricane with foil-lined silver glass beads from here. It's for my mom, but don't worry. I bought yarn to make one for me too. Have an awesome weekend!
