...at least that's what i tell him..lol!

so, my dh has this awesome pair of slippers that  someone made for him years ago....but as you can see, they have seen better days, MUCH better days....

well,

 being such a good wife and all,

i decided it was time for me to put my mad knitting skills to the test...

i scarffed up some manly colored yarn from gramma harv's stash.

now, figured i'd do this little project on the sly...maybe i'd even get them done in time for a Christmas gift

only i made one  fatal mistake....

yeah, i told my kids. duh. what was i thinking? honestly.sometimes i amaze myself.

soo...now that the secret is out, why not share it with the world, huh?

here's a little peek.

a little bit of zest

picking more zucchini than anyone in the whole world knows what to with (if you are ever in a pinch and think you might starve, plant zucchini.)

chasing the two yr old away from the fridge (right now she is walking around with a block of cheese, apparently her forehead hurts and this is her "ice bag"

butchering rabbits? how in the world did i get myself into this? (ok, so i didn't actually do the butchering, but i watched...that counts, right?)rabbit speedies anyone?
