I am planning to knit a Traveler sweater inspired by Emily Curtis' handmade version- click here for her Ravelry Project Page. I was thrilled to see a recent post on Emily's Instagram that she made a YouTube video about this spin/knit.
I started spinning the Shetland and its so dreamy. I'm still working on the first 4 oz bump.

Seeing Rent- but especially how much Riley enjoys it. The show fell on Eme's 22nd birthday so that was fun too!

A text from my SIL after Easter dinner saying that Zach (who turns 4 in May) went to bed Easter night asking if my dad was coming to his birthday party.
I inadvertently made a ridiculously large batch of Superhero muffins because I added too much salt. Turns out I can make 94 muffins in about 3 hours. Not too shabby! Good thing they freeze well.
Warming temps and quieter weekends after a stressful work week.
My Monday morning workout turned into a country music jam! Such a fun way to start the week.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
