My children are still young, but are now beyond the age of reading Alphabet books. I was thinking last night about all of the alphabet books we read while they were little. There were a lot of them!

Happy New Sock Day!
What?!?!? You didn’t get the memo?
Yes, today is New Sock Day.
No, not officially, but it is at MY house, anyway.
Look at what the sock fairy brought me this morning:
The sock fairy (AKA my mother) learned to knit socks this fall. She’s been wearing that first yellow pair of socks for months bragging about how wonderful they are. I thought I was going to get a pair of socks for Christmas, but Mom decided to move from 4 double pointed needles to 2 circular needles and had to start over. I expect to be sporting a pair of striped socks sometime in the near future, too.
Thanks, Mom!
(And yes, just in case you are wondering from this picture or the one that’s posted in my 365 Photos album…I do have big feet. Size 11 in fact. I’m tall, OK?)
100 Days of School
I don’t remember celebrating the 100th day of school back when I was in elementary school, do you?
The school the boys go to celebrates — they do lots of different activities relating to the number 100 — counting, reading books, writing down 100 words that they know, that sort of thing. They each had to take a baggie with 100 snack pieces for one of the counting activities. (We sent Corn Chex, I didn’t have anything else fun to give them. Must go grocery shopping…)
It’s kind of a fun thing to celebrate, except for one small problem. 100 days down means there are only 80 left to go. I’m not sure it’s possible that we are just over the halfway mark on this school year already.
Time really does speed up as you get older, doesn’t it?
WIP Wednesday #6
I think I said this yesterday: how did it get to be the end of January already? Where did the time go?
I’ve already shared much of what I’ve been working on over the past week. I did go get a back for the Churn Dash quilt that I completed over the weekend. I don’t know exactly when I’ll quilt it. Soon, hopefully.
Geeky things
At heart, I’m a geek. If there is technology that can be applied to a problem, I’m likely to want to try it out. (Don’t worry, I like doing things the old-fashioned handwork way, too…).
