love.

my lovely ashley sent me this yesterday (sorry i don't know where the image is from!) and it made me laugh out loud. in my life, i feel like laughter is my favorite kind of love...maybe my heart is located in my funny bone! anyone who can make me fall down from hysterical laughter, startle me into deep belly laughs or make me tear up with that silent laugh where you can't breathe has the key to my heart completely. i hope your day if full of laughter, people, places & food that you love ;)

it's a cowl.

so, i had been organizing my yarn the other day (read: procrastinating) and then later in the day i was talking to the the ever inspiring emilia, who mentioned her affection for a cowl (you know, the not-scarf-anti-neck-warmer-neck-warmer) and i agreed! i have been spying them on etsy, but just couldn't part with the cash. so then it struck me, that combining my frugality and knitting skills...perhaps i could make one - two birds, one stone - right? well, obsessively i knit for the rest of the night through two movies (one being juno...my new fave). and i did it! and now i am lining up yarn colors for my lovelies - emilia has requested a surprise and sera [shocker!] has requested black :) here is my cowl made of some lambs wool yarn i bought WAY back in college, it's a lil' bit of rust with mustard, but i luvs it - PLUS wooden toggle buttons are the icing on my cowl cupcake! i'll share the others once i recover from sunday's carpal tunnel!

p.s. i luff you.

happy [belated] birthday to my lovely sera!!! 27 years young and bringing happiness to my world since 1999, i hope you had a great day and party and i'm sorry that i missed being there to celebrate with you.

you are my technical guru, grammar maven, sounding board, partner in crime and so much more...we share every inside joke imaginable...we've chanted together, 'nuff said.

thank you for being you (the pretty lady on the left!) - MWAH! xo, phin

tidbit.

good morning! so this is probably only funny to my lovelies, but i had to share - last night on wheel of fortune, there was a phrase puzzle that read:

"I have an announcement to make"

more to come later today, MWAH!
