personal details are friends only.

so, I'm trying to clear up some space in this incredibly cluttered room. I came across things I had put up for sale long ago, but forgot about. I have some cross-stitch fabric, some thread, an embroidery pattern, and a pair of Keen mary janes. Please check out my blog to see the stuff and get prices. http://goodknits.com/blog/for-sale/

I'll probably add more later!

also!

just sayin'...

I just finished uploading some photos to my flickr account. I'd post more, but I can hear Andrew getting tired of Nathan's shenanigans already. click this link to get to my flickr page.

i don't usually post music videos, but i can't get this out of my head...



i woke up today in a very simple way
in the morning all that i could do was sing
i was thinking of things the blue ocean brings
the way it glows, the way it always knows
that when you lose something like a golden diamond ring
you will know that it will show the way the ocean always knows

yes i understand that i cannot live on this land
but does that truly mean that i have seen all that can be seen
as for now i will stay in the oven i will bake
as you sit down to pray into the river i will wade
i woke up today in a very simple way
i woke up today in a very simple way
i woke up today in a very simple way

from june 8 - 22 the fee to tissue type and join the bone marrow registry is being covered (or until they reach 46,000 new donors). I just signed up for the kit which is some swabs to swab your cheek. it even comes with a prepaid package to send back. you're not obligated to donate, but if you're a match...I don't see why you wouldn't.

there are now 2 ways to donate. the traditional way entails being put under anesthesia or epidural and marrow being extracted from the pelvic bone. you may feel some soreness for a few days or more after. HOWEVER, a patient's doctor most commonly requests a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation, which is an outpatient procedure. you can read all about it at the website: http://www.marrow.org

go...join.

I finally finished attaching all the little cherries to the cupcake tops last night, while finishing up last season of Dexter. A few minutes ago, I started assembly. I stopped after just one because I thought it was so cute and had to share.



despite the fact that I pretty much despise glue, this wasn't too hard to put together. I guess using a gun to apply glue is easier than a tube. plus, burning your finger tips = FUN! it keeps you alert.


party this weekend! eeeee!

a few photos! my amigos on flickr probably saw these already, but I wanted to post them here. I didn't get any nice pictures of Andrew on his birthday, so these will be his omg1year! photos. On the anniversary of one of the most amazing days of my life, I was rather mopey. I just can't believe it's been a year already. I'm constantly wishing this kid will just GROW UP and stop being such a clingy baby, but then night time comes and i find myself just staring at him sleeping, or rubbing his belly, or kissing his cheeks, or *gasp* wanting him to reach out for me to give him one last hug before he goes down for a few hours. I don't want him to grow into a cuddle-hating toddler.:(

it's already after 2am. what's another 15 minutes gonna hurt?

yesterday- 365.110: my baby turned 11 months old! he cawls and stands and makes a mess and all that fun stuff!


day before yesterday- 365.109: blanket, completed! It looks like this when it's unfolded. Its recipient is yet to be determined. I had been wanting to make a giant-granny square afghan for a while (like this one @ the purl bee), but then I decided I didn't really like it with the colors I had, so I switched patterns at the last moment.

you can see my project 365 photos for day 85 & 86 on Flickr.

( 3 photos: wedding, jason, & nathan )

if you need an andrew fix, here he is being totally drama-rific! He was pissed I set him down. he looked like this about 2 minutes later.
