This is it!/ Give-A-Way

Yes this is it!!!! A new post finally. Even though months have passed and I haven't posted here, our thoughts are still on all the wonderful people we have met through this blog. Of course I have written a post many times in my  head but not taken the time to write it down. We missed our 3rd Blogiversary. Many events have come and gone. Thanksgiving has even passed us by. Christmas is just around the corner. We have gotten our yearly Christmas card from the Meir Family already (thanks Carol, Loved it! ).
It's funny how certain things tend to get overlooked. Let's just say, we are still happily doing our favorite things:  knitting  and buying yarn(not so much), we even caught the 6am sale at Fibre Space on Black Friday. It was a blast.
I decided it was time to catch up on things, including this blog. Chelette just had minor surgery. She is doing well and I am here with her for a few days to help out. We have had fun knitting and playing with patterns and yarn. She and I both finished a few already started projects. Now, if only I could have another week off from work, I could really get some knitting done. Of course that isn't possible, back to work as usual on Monday.

We have decided that we are going to use this post to announce a "Give A Way" for all those events we missed and a thank you to everyone who have visited us in the past.
All you have to do is place a comment on this post telling us how long you have been reading this blog and how you discovered us...
I know you want to know what the prizes are. All I am going to say is  it will be from our favorite yarns, Wollmeise, Neighborhood Fiber Co and  Bugga(all ravelry links). This should be fun.
We have been trying to do this since the summer and I am finally getting around to it.
The ending deadline will be  December the 15th. at midnight.
It will be nice to hear from those who have never left a comment but who read this blog. Have a great week♥ We look forward  to hearing from you.

Alive and Well, Pints and Purls, Contest, Blogiversary

Hello everyone.... I know, I know... It's been way to long.. At least 2 Tuesdays have passed us by.. I just can't believe how the time is flying... I kid you not.. It's going way to fast for me. Can you believe that it's only 6 more months until Christmas???... Is this what happens when you get older. I don't remember time flying this quickly when I was a kid. The older I get the faster it seems to go. There just aren't enough hours in the day. No time to get all I want done. I have been feeling like a zombie lately, same ole same -- day in and day out. I think I need a vacation, but there are no plans of any on the horizon. Since Sock Summit registration came and went without getting any classes, we have decided not to go. Maybe next year will work out better for us.
I have been knitting on my Brooke Column of Leaves daily and still have quite a ways to go. Chelette is getting closer to finishing the shrug for sister Nerry. We have become such monogamous knitters, can't seem to start anything else right now. We haven't even been to Sit and Knit in weeks. We have missed so much. Thank you Jennifer for always sending a friendly text when we don't show up. Funny how things change.
My newest obsession is watching TV.. I come home plop myself in front and get sucked until bedtime. How did I get so addicted to TV??? It's not like me at all. I am behind on blogging and seeing what everyone is up too. Hope you all are doing well.
We are still in shock about the tragedy of the metro train derailment. Both of our daughters ride the train every single day. They were surprised at all the calls they got from concerned family and friends. Thankfully they were okay and not on any of these trains.

Update: We are mourning Michael Jackson's death big time. I couldn't believe that I didn't have any of his music on my Ipod. But now I do. I have been listening since this happened last week. What a great Legend Michael was and will be missed greatly. I know his music will rock on!

And for the biggest and newest News.. We just had our 2nd year Blogiversary. Soooooooooo.. We have decided to have a contest.. and the prize will be in honor of our great friend and local Dyer Karida of Neighborhood Fiber Co. Karida is leaving our area and moving to Ohio. A couple of months ago her first book came out and we were lucky enough to get a signed copy. So the prizes will be a signed copy of her new book "Pints and Purls" and a skein of her lovely yarn. I am sure there are a few of you that haven't gotten the lucky chance of trying some of this gorgeous yarn out yet. This will be a great opportunity!

The rules are simple.. Leave a comment and we'll pick the lucky number by a random generator. Starting now until July 5th .

Thanks for your emails and inquiries about our where abouts. Hope things will get back to normal soon. We look forward to many more years to come!
