really, cate is also mexican, japanese, native american, swiss, and a
   lot more- a true american- so we actually have a lot of family history
   travelling to do, but i really love the romantic beauty of ireland, and
    have always been drawn to that part of the world. plus i really love
                                corned beef.

                                  i am not going to worry...about a thing.

   simple is always prettiest to me.

                                                      my happy little life

                                   interested? i think it would be so fun.

                                                        back in a few days

     we ate corned beef and cabbage with irish soda bread last night in
                    preparation for the day of the irish.

                 i love the comments i get from all of you.

      last minute trip to idaho to see my sister- so much better than home
                                                                 blogging!

     i made this one for a gift, but i've already cast on another for moi.

      the ms craft dept was featured in an article, and their personal
                        crafting projects were shown.

   there's a tiny restaurant

       she never looks like a senator from krypton on the red carpet.

                         i am craving some sunshine.

                                      have you seen april's ms living yet?

     i love that she's an expert knitter and yet chooses to create very
                               simple pieces;

      4. i don't worry about a little "creative clutter" in cate's room. i
         say, a good dress up/ barbie mess day better than watching tv all
   afternoon, right? pretty soon i will just put my 'kerchief on again and
    go to town. (yes, that is what cate's room looks like again, just over
     a month after the big clean. i tell you, i'm fighting a losing battle
   with that girl). does that answer your question, mary? i hope it helps!
                                                                     wink.

                                                   in a tiny town in idaho

                            may the light always find you on a dreary day.

     i recommend rounding your troops for a similar conversation, and a
   brainstorm session for how to prepare for what lies ahead. just sayin.
