Seriously?? It's been two weeks since I last posted? How on earth does that happen? Honestly! Today marks the end of January -- does time EVER slow back down??? I most definitely feel like it's a constant 'go-go-go' around here.
Amongst the 'go-go-go' of yesterday, we fit in some time to shop for some much-needed jeans and boots for Cassie. Having some left over yarn from the double-braided cowl, a quick Boot Cuff pattern was searched out on Ravelry in order to add some fun accessorizing to Cassie's outfit.
The pattern was written to have the ribbed portion at the top, but it was hugging her leg very nicely. So, we elected to add another 2 rows of sc, the second row being a decreasing row, and now... she has two different ways to wear this boot cuff. Score. :)
Friday night, I actually DID elect to stay home instead of venturing on the one-hour drive to see Cassie's basketball game. Candace had BB practice until 4:45, and Caitlyn was having a friend say over for the night. Therefore, once dinner was eaten and cleaned up, the feet were propped up on the ottoman, a movie was put in the player, and I relaxed with the Country Cozy afghan!
Fitting in hair appointments is kind of a laughable thing. But Cassie has been quietly begging for a cut; her hair had been getting quite shaggy. SO..... OUT came the scissors Thursday evening, and I had a go at it. THANKFULLY, we both were happy with the results. Hair crisis averted! Whew....
Next weekend, we're back to BB tournaments; nothing new there. To be fair, looking through pictures on the phone, I guess I should admit to having some down-time while at the tournaments. It's simply not the same as having down-time at home, though. ;)
I don't know about y'all, but..... have you noticed the extra moments of light in the evening???? 5:36PM the other night, and there was still a fair amount of light coming from the horizon :D
No quilting or sewing going on around here; just some crochet from time to time as it fits. We're one week down of the new/final semester of the school year; not quite the home-stretch yet (*LAUGH!!!*), but that dreaded Senioritis is starting to infect a few of our kiddos. Ruh-roh, Shaggy!
Happy Sunday!

I remember those days..running from on school thing, sports thing, med appt thing, etc. And yes while there is down time and we can plan some stuff into that time it is not at all the same as having that time at home. Love the boot cuffs...really cute and i am sure nice and warm too! Love the haircut too, very cute!
I love your blog, Amy, and I just wanted to let you know that I've nominated you for the Liebster tag award!
