The Rose City Yarn Crawl Mystery Knit Along project is coming along. The next clue comes out on Wednesday.
The Sunday Morning Wrap is also coming along. I'm almost to the point where I discovered I was using the wrong needles and had to frog the whole thing.
I always do a lot of cooking and baking during the week. This week was no different. I made a nice vegetable stew, stir-fried soy curls with vegetables and another batch of granola, this time the best batch yet. I think the inclusion of the slivered almonds and using a dinner knife to stir the granola during baking rather than a spatula made the difference.
The rain finally stopped, but then the bitter cold set in. The pups do their duty expertly in keeping me warm while we're indoors.
We did get a few walks in. This was the longest, though, down to Bear Creek and back.
Soren has been learning to play basketball. His shirt was a bit big, so they tied it in the back.
They have a lower basket for the kids to use if they want. That's Soren for two points!
Katie has been having some adventures. Plastic bags last week and now a hair tie, which she barfed up before it could do any damage. Here she is, pretending to be a parrot, and Daphne is a pirate.
Charlie had to go to urgent care on Monday because his one good eye was inflamed. Pinkeye. He got a prescription for antibiotic eye drops, and the eye is all better now.
Football games have taken up every weekend, but that will be over soon.
I have a lot of difficulty responding to comments to my blog posts because of technical issues beyond my control (my lack of understanding of how things work). Message me on Facebook, Ravelry or Spoutible if you need information.
If you have a few minutes and are willing, please go to Amazon and B&N and search for More Classic Tales Retold or Our Favorite Verses: Poems from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart". Every click on the page for the book makes it more likely they will keep a good supply in their warehouse and stores. If you are outside the US, you may have a separate website for these retailers. If you have a copy of any of our books, including Emil, Mariah, Classic Tales Retold, Our Favorite Verses or More Classic Tales Retold, please leave an honest review on the websites, especially if you bought from them.

What's on my loom: Still in its corner under the windows.
What's on my sewing machine: Ready to make binding for the T-shirt quilt.
What's in The Doll's Storybook: In Bounce or Splat Billy and Jolena wonder about how balls can bounce but eggs just go splat. Mandy to the rescue again!
What's my tip of the week: Did you ever think it would be easier to clean the toilet if there weren't any water in it? That can be fixed easily. Get a big pan of water...say at least a quart...and dump it into the toilet all at once. The pressure will force the water down through the pipes and leave only a small amount at the bottom. I use a pumice stone to lean the ring where the water level was. Next time the toilet is flushed, it will fill up again as usual.
Where are my books: The stories in each book first appeared in the blog and they are reproduced with a few changes.
If you don't get free shipping from Amazon or B&N, buy from the BookBabyBookshop, because 50% of the price goes to St. Jude. Other booksellers pay much less, because the publisher gets a cut.
