Monterey Bay Aquarium

Yesterday Jonny, Kelly and I took a road trip down to Monterey to revisit the aquarium we all love from our childhood.  We saw some pretty amazing animals and some cool new exhibits.  Overall it was a very relaxing way to spend the end of my spring break.

New Diet Plan

Kelly and I have decided on a plan that will hopefully be a failsafe direction for our pizza/cheese addiction and this will help us remember :)

Knitters are so thoughtful…

Not only do knitters share ideas, knit things for charities, or offer help to someone who’s stuck or frustrated with their current WIP, they share enthusiasm for FO and personal knitting milestones.  The writer of the blog Domestic Miss – A Sweet and Sour Slice Of Life has shared her excitement of completing her Silk Lace Scarf.  Because of this achievement, she is generously offering a gift of buttons and an Addi Turbo lace needle to anyone who leaves her a comment on this post.

Thanks Domestic Miss and a great job completing your beautiful scarf!!

Donating to the Iowa Floods

I just have to say that I love being fortunate enough to help in need: in this case, animals. As most of you know by now, the floods in the Midwest were devastating, displacing a lot of people and animals from their happy homes. Although I do not have individual ties to Iowa, both my parents and uncle are from Davenport, IA, so I do feel a small connection with the kind people there.

I wanted to write this blog entry not to focus on the tragedy, but of what we can do to help. I’ve donated my Native Feather Earrings to the Iowa Relief Auction for Evacuated Animals. If you have some expendable funds and would like to support the evacuated animals, please check out the Auction Catalog which includes many wonderful items that people have made and donated.

I would want the same support to go to my lovelies if we were ever separated.
