to pack or not to pack...a lunch

Every year on or about August 1 I start thinking about my kids and what they eat at school. Every year, I promise myself that I'm going to make them healthy lunches. That I'm going to by a reusable lunch system and make them lunches that are good for them and looks cute and all that. Like this,

or this.

Both can be found at www.parenting.com. So I hope that I haven't broken any laws about using other peoples photos without linking.

But every year, I fail. Well, not so much fail as I just have them eat the icky school lunches. This year my kids want me to try again. And I think I will. Too bad I have such picky eaters. Although I think that if I were to make pb & j look like a pretty pinwheel my youngest just might eat it. Here's hoping. Wish me luck.

I'm still around and some very nice press

Haven't been around for awhile. Mainly because I've been busy trying to sell a book. And going to TNNA in Columbus, OH. Having a blast, I might add!!

I don't have any photos from either but I do have a little yarn goodness that I took today for the Yarnery...but I'm going to share it here as well!

And if you are interested in reading some nice things about our book, Wearwithall, check out what Clara Parkes said about us... or the great interview with Theresa Gaffey by Kristin Nichols...or what Knitty had to say! Scroll down, we are towards the end, but such lovely things were said that it's worth the scroll. Thanks to everyone who says nice things!

This is a sweet little infinity scarf made from Classic Elite Allegoro. Nice to crochet with, pretty to look at. Can you really go wrong?

Today this is what I saw that was pretty.
It is in my backyard.
Lucky me.
