1. I didn’t love this movie.


2. The chase scene was so poorly done I started to feel sick.

3. This movie felt like a 2 hour Mercedes commercial. Idea for a drinking game: Watch this movie and drink every time you see a Mercedes logo. (Please drink responsibly and always designate a driver.)

4. This is what I was knitting (K2P2 ribbing for the leg of a sock).


5. The Husband and I saw A Good Day to Die Hard at 2pm Saturday with some friends. Then we got together with them that night and watched Live Free or Die Hard because we were in the mood to watch a good Die Hard movie that day. True Story.

A local yarn shop review.
Ellen was packing for Stitches West so most of her sock yarn was boxed up. I will use this as an excuse to hit her shop again next time I’m in town. She and her husband were helpful so I started my Christmas shopping (this is early, even for me, but she had some really cute socks).


If you’re in the area, you’ll also want to swing by so you can love on her shop dogs and enjoy the great natural light in the store.


And you can get some lunch and hang out in the area if you like because it is picturesque.


Ps. This is one of the cleanest and neatest yarn shops I’ve been in in spite of the fact that she was boxing up for a show.

These little boas worked up quickly and are cute.

I was thrilled by the response of the recipients.



Ps. Happy Birthday to the grandmother of these lovely girlies! aka the world’s best mother-in-law.
