Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.  I hope all of you enjoy this holiday and are able to spend it with those you love.  We have a lot to be thankful for at our house.  Today is a great day to think about all that we have that we take for granted most days.  Now, lets eat some turkey!!!!

Slippers

I have knitted felted slippers and love them, but I have not made any like these.  Are these not the most adorable slippers you have very seen?  I have to make them....stat!  I love the word "stat"....it sounds so important.  Now I am getting off topic.  I do that sometimes.  I will try to stay on task.  So anyway, I really need to purchase the pattern (Ravelry link).  I am off to do that right now.  Hopefully I will be posting pics of my own French Press felted slippers soon, so stay tuned!!!

Last week I promised finished knitting projects.  They really are coming soon....I promise!  I have been meaning to get pics in the day light and that hasn't happened yet.  Soon though, real soon.

Christmas Gift Ideas.....

I am looking for some gift ideas for some of my family members. 

First of all, my 7 year old son.  Is an iPod too much for a 7 1/2 (he would want to add the 1/2) year old?  Some kids his age have cell phones.  He will not be getting a cell phone any time soon but possibly an iPod. It won't be the top model by any means.  Any other ideas?

My mother and mother-in-law are next. Gosh they are hard to buy for.  I need some inspiration.  Can anybody help?

I bought this for my friend...a pretty necklace with her daughter's name.  Love it! I want one for myself.

Family

I thought I would share a picture here. It is always nice to put a face with a name. This isn't really a "family" picture because it is just my son and I but it will give you an idea for now.  I will get a family picture soon and post it.

This is us with the Gold'n Plump chicken at the Mall of America this summer.  Have any of you been to the Mall of America?

Out of the mouths of babes...

I thought I would tell a cute little story that happened yesterday. I didn't necessarily think that it was terribly funny at the time but now I laugh about it because it really is cute.

As I said in my previous post, I have a 7 year old son.  I also have many of nieces and nephews.  My son called my 5 year old niece yesterday to see if she could come over and play.  My sister dropped her off and after a couple of hours of them being a bit naughty and not listening to me, I told them to pick up their mess and go outside and play.  We had a very nice day considering it is November in Minnesota.  We had our windows open since it was such a nice day and as I was standing in the kitchen getting dinner started, I heard my niece say, "Why is your mom so mean?"  And my son replies, "I know my mom is mean, then it is my dad and then Libby (our dog).  Libby is the nicest one in the family."  I just sorta giggled to myself and went on with my cooking.  If we could all only be 5 and 7 again and think that our moms and dads are so mean because they sent us outside after making a mess of our toys in the house.

Coming soon.....finished knitting projects!  Yay!!

Lets try this again...

I have tried to start this blog many times over the last year. I can't believe it has really been that long but I guess it has. Oh man! What am I doing?? Well, I really like the idea of blogging and want to get into it but every time I start my "first" post, I delete it. I am going to try this again.

My name is Jessica. I am a mother of a 7 year old. I knit, I cook, I eat, I sleep. Well, I do a bit more than that but my life mainly consists of those activities...besides being a mother. I am a mother first and foremost and love every minute of it.

Nobody will probably ever read this little blog that I like to call "Delicious Knits and Bits" but I am going to give this a shot. If you stop by, please leave me a comment so I know that somebody might actually be reading this nonsense that I hope I will be posting.
