Comments on: atwitter: january http://patriciazaballos.com/2009/01/31/atwitter-january/ where a mother tries to cultivate creativity and a sense of wonder in her kids—and does a whole lot of wondering herself in the process Tue, 15 May 2012 04:42:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: patricia http://patriciazaballos.com/2009/01/31/atwitter-january/comment-page-1/#comment-336 patricia Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:42:07 +0000 http://patriciazaballos.com/?p=785#comment-336 As much fun as it is to write these atwitter posts, it's even more fun to hear what you all are doing. Fascinating stuff! And so quirky! My dear Cristiano, it would seem that you'll have to wait until next winter (at least) for your hoppipolla sweater. Men's sweaters have got to be as time-consuming as lace sweater coats. After this project I'm knitting tiny things. Hats for rodents... pencil warmers...

Does that mean my Icelandic sweater will finally go into production? Having a nice warm wool sweater in August is perfect in sunny California. Slate Blue Mohair would be wonderful!

Maybe we'll do yogurt next. Yours sure looks good. We're atwitter with American History. We're watching Founding Brothers and we read the Declaration of Independence which has some parts that struck the kids' funny bones. Such as: He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. A Series of Unfortunate Events makes me cackle. We have a mozzarella making kit we’re going to try out. Maybe we’ll do yogurt next. Yours sure looks good.

He had fun pointing out some of the characters in Mr T's drawing. Atwitter for us: Blue Yonder's book of days (http://blueyonderranch.com/book-of-days/) Tom Cruise's dance at the end of Tropic Thunder (I'm not a TC fan, but his character just cracked me up!!) And, this chocolate zucchini bread recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Zucchini-Bread-I/Detail.aspx YUM!!! Holden and I just finished ‘the bad baginning’ and loved it!

It involves a cooler, but not towels. What has us atwitter: a lengthy (2+ months) visit from my parents (yay!), a new part-time job for me, and getting geared up for this years garden. I am also on an unintentional knitting hiatus, which I need to get off of, as I still owe my mother her Christmas present!
