I've been so busy starting my perfectioKnits business on Etsy, that I haven't been able to keep up with this blog at all lately! One of the more interesting things that's being shared on Facebook these days is the following live video feed. These eagle parents and babies are so fun to watch! I had hoped to see the 3rd eaglet hatch, but even though I missed it, it's been very educational {for both myself and the boys} watching the parents care for their young.

Enjoy! I have some perfectioKnits work to do now!
Have a happy Saturday!

a little this, a little that.
i see that i haven't posted anything here for a while. not much to say, i guess. i've been busy knitting, crocheting, and doing a little designing too for my soon-to-open Etsy shop. it's taking me longer than i had hoped to get it all organized, but i'm just a few small steps away from actually posting items in my shop! if you've been following my knitting blog here, you already know that.
it's an amazingly warm day today. 35 degrees. that's nearly unheard of up here in the northern minnesota tundra for early february. i'm sure it'll cool back down soon though. it usually does. but for now, the snow is melting off the rooftops and is, i believe, the perfect wetness for packing. which means my boys are going to go outside and play this afternoon. and maybe even try to make a snowman! this could be their only chance to make one this winter since our snow is usually like a powder of fine ice crystals that won't stick together.
i will probably stay indoors myself (unless the kiddos convince me that they NEED me to help them make a snowman) and work on a little housework and then maybe i'll have a little time to work on one of my knitting projects this afternoon too.
speaking of knitting projects, i'm very close to finishing a lightweight sweater that i'm making for myself--my first-ever adult-sized sweater. {yes, i still make time to knit stuff for myself too!} i've been working on this one, off and on, since june. it's a beautiful wrap sweater with some lace details that look like bubbles--hence the name of the pattern: soap bubble wrap! i can't wait to see how this looks/fits when it's done! i think i'm to the point of seaming it, so unless sewing the seams in mattress stitch gives me fits {which wouldn't be a first} i should be able to finish it sunday.
hopefully, i'll be able to get it done before the super bowl. 'cuz i'll probably be too busy watching the game--and commercials--to focus on seaming properly. i'll have to work on something easy that doesn't take a lot of concentration during the game. as a loyal Packers fan, i must say i'm hoping for a really good game against the Steelers {and that the Pack wins, of course}!
have a great weekend everyone!
enjoy the game on sunday!
and, of course:
Go PACK Go!

where has the time gone?
has it really been over a month since my last post? wowzers!
i guess i've been pretty busy this past month though. besides homeschooling and other normal daily activities, i've been given the opportunity to start a home business using my knitting and crochet skills! yay!
so i've also created a new blog for my business adventure, perfectioKnits. i'll be starting off by selling baby hats, pods and cocoons (photography props mostly) on Etsy with plans to expand and sell other items like fingerless gloves, cowls, and miscellaneous other things too. it's exciting and a little bit scary. i've started doing a little designing as well which has been a bit of a challenge...especially getting the items to fit right! but i am enjoying the experience and am glad to have the knowledge and skills to be able to do this!
i'm also grateful for other designers who sell their patterns and give license for other knitters like myself to sell items made using their patterns. if someone else has a pattern i can use to make items that i can turn around and sell, that saves me from spending time and energy on designing so i can get right to making things instead!
