I'd take a picture of it all spread out, but then you would see that it is not, in fact 'square' in the traditional sense, and then I would have to make something up about how I did that on purpose because it's a statement about how The Man can't hold me down or make rules for a girl like me, and then I would burn my bra, and no one wants that. Trust me.

Blankies & Veggies
Well I have been busy, y'all.
A few weeks ago, Billy and I decided we needed a project, so we decided to teach ourselves how to knit. We watched every YouTube video we could get our eyeballs on a went and bought Knitting & Crocheting for Dummies and went to work. the outcome has been pretty cool - he has made himself a new fancy iPod case and I am working on potholders, headbands, tiny hats (that started out as potholders) and 2 different baby blankies. Plus, I went and raided the local thrift store and bought 4 big bags of yarn in beautiful colors and textures, so this is all costing me about ten bucks. (Pictures coming soon!)
Speaking of saving moola, we have been shopping the local Farmers Market every Saturday morning and saving TONS. Once a week we come home with 2 or 3 full green bags full to the brim with yellow, spaghetti and summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, snap peas, black eyed peas, potatoes, carrots and cucumbers and we have never spent for than $15. For a family of seven that is HUGE.
Anyhoo - that is the awesomeness that is our summer so far - blankies and veggies - WOOT!
