Phoning in the weekend 1/13/2014 edition

 The weekend started out on an interesting note when one Ms. Erica, partner in craft and coworker decided I didn't have enough Nick Cage in my life and stuck this to my office door. He lives inside my coat closet now so I can have a heart attack each morning when I come to work.

Then came Friday night and a soothing symphony orchestra concert and soothing dirty martinis to help calm my Cage-frayed nerves.

On Saturday I did the most perfect long-tail cast-on I've ever done! I got all my stitches cast on with just enough yarn left over to weave in the ends! Woo hoo!

It helped that I was closely monitored by this handsome guy.

Sunday was my niece's third birthday party. I had to look my best.

What do you buy for the coolest three year old around? Binoculars, a toy story etch-a-sketch, and glitter bracelets. Obviously.

To top off a great weekend, it was so warm out and so much of the ice and snow melted that I got to run outside TWICE! Woo hoo!

I hope you had a lovely weekend too! What did you do?

Phoning in the Weekend, 8/12/2013

I met these Boston Terriers at a Pet Palooza I randomly ended up at on my way to a friend's wedding this weekend. Saturday was kind of the weirdest, best day ever. The little jumpy licky one was only 4 months old. I almost tucked her under my arm like a football and ran away, but I resisted.

 

Also at the Pet Palooza? Fair animals. I pet this huge bunny and some sheep. And a goat bit Erica. There will be more details on our Locust Street Craft blog later today.

 It was such a great day! Bunnies and Bostons and one of the loveliest weddings ever. Yay!

 Scheming and negotiating shenanigans.

 One of the best (if not prettiest) dirty martinis I've ever had.

 Seriously the greatest picture of all time. Did I mention Saturday was the most fun day ever?
