Down east

Just finished it. It's beautiful and after a couple of confusing emails from the designer I managed to determine what it was she was trying to say and all in all it took about 5 days to make it. That's a lot of constant knitting but well worth it!

Would be $195 if I were to sell it exactly as I made it (with this yarn I mean). 

It's hard to look at it and say yeah sure i'd pay $195 for it!  Why is it that our view of money and worth are so scewed!! 

Muse in 3 days

I like it :)

Alex won child of the week

So in an effort to promote self regulation and self awareness and kindness i implemented a child of the week rule in our house. When all 4 boys are here they have until Friday at dinner time to have their name put into the bucket as many times as possible. They get their name in there for things such as being ready for school and outside waiting for me. Doing something kind for someone else on their own initiative. Stuff like that. Well whoever gets their name in the bucket the most times wins a $5 prize and then we do a draw with all of the names to see who is the winner of a $2 prize. This past week alex won and for his $5 prize he chose for me to make him another super hero. So wolverine here I come O.o
