2 new things

Earlier in the week I made some bread in the bread maker but it wasn't really a good idea... we didn't really need it or have a use for it. I really like this recipe because it doesn't call for bread flour & it has hidden oatmeal in it!
Anyway... last night I told the hubs that I was going to use it up and make french toast. for breakfast. When I got up this morning the idea of flipping bread with my 2 year old wanting to help and my 6 month old wanting to be held I looked quickly for a recipe for french toast casserole. I found a recipe on allrecipes.com that had almost 500 reviews and got 4+/5 stars... it was easy and yummy!! I think my days of flipping bread are over! At least for a while

Oh & that granola I made yesterday... aside from being really easy it was a big hit! The little one loves it & loved adding it to some yogurt for lunch!

Major Overhaul

I am working on giving this blog a MAJOR overhaul. I have a (private) blog that I keep family & friends posted on my little ones but I like keeping that private. On here I want to keep going with my knitting journal but adding some other stuff. Speaking of knitting... I need to add a few pictures of my Mosey leg warmers. They turned out so super cute. I love them! When I started them I never thought I'd finish them and certainly not before it was death hot. Well I am very happy to say that I finished them and actually wore them out for a night out with some girl friends!
Letely we've been thinking a lot about what we are putting into our bodies and into our girls... So we've been trying to eat more local/organic/homemade.... to take some control of what we are eating. I'd like to try to use this blog as a place to keep all of that information as a reference for myself and share with others what's working and not working for us. Today I made homemade granola, tomorrow on my list is pizza dough in my bread machine and maybe even some cinnamon rolls for a spacial treat on Sunday.
On top of all of that! We are moving to a new house in a week & a half! (Holy crap a week & a half!!!) There will be some home remodeling we'll be doing pretty much right away... we are going to turn a walk up attic into a home office for the hubs.
I am also thinking about making one of those lists... 101 things in 1001 days. Although not sure I'll be able to come up with 101 things I want to do! I'm looking for suggestions!

Mosey Legwarmers

I started working on these Mosey Legwarmers... I have 1 finished and am about to cast on the 2nd one. I love the way the first one turned out & to be honest I am so proud of myself!! I didn't do a normal cast on... I used this German Twisted method and it worked out much better. I used it since it is supposed to be more stretchy.

Getting organized

I'm back in action after a long break from knitting. Last week I did a bunch of knitting while at my parents house for the week. Once I take picture for Ravelry I'll add them here.
First order of business around here though... get organized! A few months ago a friend who works at the Gap gave me a bunch of hangers from Gap Kids & Baby Gap. I used some of the pants hangers to hang up my stash in 2.5 gallon Zip Lock bags in a closet that we really only use to keep our Dyson and some games. I LOVE it! Things are easy to find and all sorted out by brand of yarn!!
