renovations, not so much

I have had several friends ask, "How's the renovation coming?". Well, very slowly. We really haven't done anything since our vacation in November. I recently got a promotion and was transferred to another branch. M has been flying to TX nearly every week, working on a project. We just haven't had the time. At this point, we are considering just hiring someone to finish up the living room--at least get the walls fixed. We can do the painting. It's the patching, drywalling, and sanding that I am not sure I can handle right now.

Crochet!

I learned to crochet about 2 months ago, and I wouldn't say I am nuts about it, I do enjoy it while watching television and riding public transit. This is of course when I am not reading.

This scarf is being donated to the Red Scarf Project. It will be included in gift baskets that are sent to foster children attending college.

Okay, so I had never heard of this Pollyanna thing until we moved to Philly. In the South, we called it Secret Santa. Where the hell did someone named Pollyanna come in?

I have become quite famous in our neighborhood for my red velvet cupcakes.

They are pretty yummy!
