Square or Diamond????

You should know by now that any posts that happen on a Saturday are usually pretty boring. Since I take on "hermit status" on the weekends the topics I post are mostly about things I encounter during the day. So today's topic is............ Shreddies!

I'm sure you have all seen the commercials for the new "Diamond Shreddies". Well, let me tell you, THIS IS A CROCK! Don't fall for it! Square is the best! In fact, I have come up with three reasons why I think that everyone and their dog should go onto the website and vote square, not diamond. Here they are....

1. Square has been around longer. It is the tested tried and true. It's the thing we grew up on. And in my opinion it's the one to choose.
2. The diamond shreddies are too overrated. Just because their "cool" and "new age" everyone is switching to them. All a bad idea if you ask me....
3. And the third and final reason, it's hip to be a square!

If you agree with even ONE of the three points I have listed above then please, go on and vote for the square. Right now it's behind by at least 8% of the votes. I'll post the link so you can go on and vote vOtE VOTE!!!! :)

Autumn, Closer Than We Think....


It's official! The first leaf has fallen! Imagine my surprise when on a walk with the kids, Vanessa(a two-year old who obviously doesn't know what a fallen leaf signifies) runs up to me and says, "Here Kylee! Here is a leaf for you!" To which I responded, "AAAAA!" and preceeded to throw it to the ground and take photographic proof. Let it be known. August 26th 2009, the FIRST official sign of Fall 2009. It was like that commercial that was on TV last year where she sees the leaf on the ground and starts screaming. I forget what it was for but I experienced it today!

I don't really like Autumn, but I have to get through it to get to my beloved Winter! Yes, you read that right, "beloved winter". I love the winter season! It's so beautiful and fun! Don't get me wrong, I love summer however....


1. In summer you can't build a snowman.

2. In the summer you can't throw snowballs at your little sister.

3. Most importantly, You can't slide down a 90 degree slope of a hill on a 1/4 of an inch thick tefflon pan! (in the summer ;) )


So, moral of the story, until it looks like this outside....

....I will not stop lobbying for snow. To end this post I am going to leave you with a video all about winter to get everyone into the Wintery mood! And it's sung by Jason Mraz, one of my favourite artists, EVER!!!!

Memory Is The Thing You Forget With....

So I am (hopefully) back from my little hiatus. (Actually more like I forgot and people are hounding me ~COUGH~Aly~COUGH~ to update because "apparenty" I "don't tell them what's going on in my life now" or something along those lines.... well here has what has been happening.... ..... ..... ..... And that's about it! The summer has been crazy! So many kids. I'm VERY tired at night. Knitting projects are vast and numerous. So far I'm thinking I've completed a 6 month purple sweater, two of my famous "flower" baby hats, two beautiful cotton jumpers with crocheted Mary-Janes to match, and two of my "fuzzy hats" like the ones in my previous post. I now have another blog where I will post pictures and descriptions of my creations. Here, http://kyleeskraftkloset.blogspot.com/ .


Another AWSOME thing that happened at the beginning of the summer was that my twin second cousins were born on July 1st! Rorie and Neila are so beautiful! I can't wait until they are big enough to run around and play on the swings and the slide at the park! But for right now I will settle for feeding them some Similak....


I'm going to try and do this more often as apparently people are counting on this to keep up with my life ~COUGH~Aly~COUGH~ LOL! See Ya!
