HA!  So Scott and I spent this past weekend trying to organize the house (i.e. going through all of our stuff and cleaning it out) and Scott decided it was laundry time.  Scott and I usually each do out own laundry, but Scott was being thoughtful and decided to wash my clothes too.  When he went to unload the washer I heard an “Uh oh.“

…and then he held up my favorite oversized wool sweater.

Aw man. Now it’s a REALLY cute felted kid sweater. Oh well.  You should have seen Scott’s expression.  It was priceless and I couldn’t help but laugh.

The whole “felting” thing reminded me that I’ve been wanting to knit a felted bag.  I found some fun patterns at Tink Knits.  I really like the Barcelona Bag and the Silver Leaf Sachel. Maybe it’s because you don’t really see bags like that everywhere. Someday I’ll get the wool for it, but right now it’s a little too painful to think about spending that much money on yarn.  Maybe I’ll make a felted hat first.

…and if anyone has a little girl that might like a really dense, soft, wool sweater – let me know.

Well, we did it.  It seems like everyone is blogging these days, so we decided to join the crowd!  I love reading the blogs of family and friends since they keep me up to date with all the little things going on in everyone’s lives…  And sometimes it even makes me feel like I’m right there with them – which is great when I haven’t seen them in ages. 

Anyway, because of this Scott and I decided to start a blog to keep our friends and family up-to-date with all the “exciting” (ha ha) things that are going on with us.  However,  we don’t have kids or anything, so you won’t really be seeing any cute pictures or hearing any hilarious “little kid” stories.  Yeah, you’ll probably just be seeing a bunch of pictures of our cat and all the funny things he does.   But despite the cat stories, we’d like to think that we might be somewhat interesting and that people might want to check up on us every now and then!

We’re so glad you stopped by!
