09/11/08: Currently Avoiding Staining and Hanging Mirrors...

so I can play on my Wii. Yay! And as my immediate work out plan I got a wii fit and dance dance revolution. It is muchos fun I must say. Not to mention it said my BMI is right about where it should be, although I know I need to lose some fat and turn it into muscle again. But for now it is much fun and not for just me, we are all having a blast, glad I finally got one of these babies.

Also been stock piling some knitting patterns in hopes that my hands will return to the needles again someday in the close by future.

Although even on my train ride I have been video gaming it on my phone lately instead of knitting. It is like I have reverted to my old kiddo days with the first round of nintendo. Man how I loved that track and field pad we had (have). I almost miss having to blow the dust out of the ancient game cartridge to get it to run properly :) Silly CD's just work all the time!

But yeah somehow I MUST hang some mirrors and stain some doors and do laundry and blah blah blah...

09/05/08: The Best of Times...*

Been having good times lately.

Annual Disney trip with the family back in March was loverly.

Got to see lots of old friends in April. And went to a beautiful castle in CT wedding, yay!

May was a fun kid filled picnic as you may recall, he he he. And the usual fiber fun in Maryland, great to have old friends into the knitting too now, can't wait for october!

June trip to Denmark to see our new niece was amazing. So relaxing and pretty, and all the sun that time of year was great! Oh and a little Belgium in between was good and yummy too! I am in love with chocolate and licorice! This was my favorite road sign there :)

Rode the ferris wheel and the swings for the fourth while watching fireworks, and eating Cotton Candy, Carmel Apples, and fried dough!

Had a lamb/pig roast pool party slava at the house. Always a good time. Attempted to play the bass again, I think I enjoy swinging it around more than the plucking and getting blisters part :) My kolach (traditional bread) came out fabulous! Was very excited about that.

Went to the Jersey shore to attempt to surf! Caught waves just never stood up :) (the sister did stand though, cool beans!) Ate yummy mexican style food after. Wish it was closer to home man!

lobster is sooo tasty!

Helped out with a Lobster Dinner fund raiser for my church. Was delicious! And got to see a friends baby fall in love with lobster legs, so cute! He just loved to suck on them. Oh and hello made hundreds of cheddar biscuits like red lobster for this event. Kitchen smelled great for days :) Did I mention how good the corn was?!? yummm...

yay castle. yay fireworks.

Took a drive down to Orlando. Meant to use Winnie's little sister Jett (oh yes we are cheesy and now have Winnie and the Jett for fun motoring purposes) but ended up with Winnie due to Gustav's residual weather. Ate in Cinderella's Castle with the fireworks outside the window. Paddle boated. Swam in the rain :) Ate so much good food! Fulton's Crab House is awesome!! We are talking 12 king crab claws each! Delish! I had Cherry cobbler for dessert, hubs had filet mignon, seriously!

such good food!



And Wednesday we got to go to the U.S. Open. Watched the William's sisters play each other in the quarter finals. AWESOME! and then we got to see #1 Nadal vs. Fish. Also an AWESOME match. Not to mention we ended up court side only 3 rows from the court floor. The fun night lasted til 2:30am. Did I mention the fabulous banana split we shared?





Good grief so now I am trying to pretend to come up with a work out plan to counter act all the eating this last month! Either join a gym, start skating again, work out at home, all 3, none of the above :) Hmm maybe I should rollerblade on the path, been awhile since I did that too!

But yay it has been a fun food filled year so far! And with all this fun, man I only knit one pair of socks all summer! I still need to take the pics though. Good grief :)

* yes I love STYX. Can't help myself.

05/31/08: Prepping for a Sunday Picnic

So today we had to prep for a picnic tomorrow. Started the morning off with a trip to A.C. Moore to get face paints. Then we got hair cuts. I am back to serious short hair, less than chin length, sweet! There was band practice, and I picked up a new instrument, da bass. And I am sorry to report I have attained a blister on my finger, ouch! Been a long time since I played anything and my finger tips are weak :) Then since the sis is in charge of face painting we had a little practice session. I did her and my mom, and she did the brother and me, and the brother did the scary arm. He loves the anatomy that guy, crazy. Hope we are not burnt out for tomorrow!!

03/19/08: The Electric Fountain


I have not had much to post since I was on vacation and have only been knitting more scrapghan squares, no need for a photo update on that. But, I remembered I took pics of this crazy huge electric fountain one day during lunch in Rockefeller Center a week ago, and they seem kind of fun to me, so this is what you get instead of boring afghan squares.



02/22/08: SNOW!!!



Finally!! We have not been getting enough snow around here this year. At long last we got 8 or 10 inches today!



12/20/07: Am Sick :(

Yuckarooneys. I have so many Christmassy things I wanted to be sharing here this past week or so, but I have been hit with a stupid cold turned pink eye and is now in the form of a nasty sinus infection and it is ruining my pre-holiday prep time I must say. Oh well it could be worse. But I have a bunch of new ornaments for my tree my sis helped me make this year. I love them and will share them here soon I hope. I even finished both stockings, yay! Of course I will need to line them for next year but for now they still look nice hanging around. Am doing pretty well with the gift knitting even if I ended up scaling it back a bit. I feel ok about it which is nice. I am just hoping that by this weekend I can be up and running like almost normal and not need tissues attached top my hip. It is really getting old after 2 weeks of this stuff. Singing for choir has been really pretty from me, ha ha! And so it looks like while I have something for most people I wanted to shop for already, I have not actually hit the stores yet at all. I am saving that up for Christmas Eve, oh yeah I feel brave :-) And if I don't make it, eh, it will still be a Merry Christmas I believe.

11/14/07: Still Knittin' and The Creation of the CrapApple

Welp yeah I have been knitting lots lately. Some of it is secret knitting though so no pics yet my friends. Others are not so secret and still I have no photos. Am hoping this weekend I will get a chance. Cause I finished a sweater! If you can believe it, I mean it has been way too long since that has happened ya know. I am also really close to finishing 2 more that I have been working on for a good long time. But I really want to knit up some christmas stockings this year so they may come first? I started them last year but never picked it up again. Hope the gifties don't get in the way of my getting to that project. But rats I only have so much train knitting time :) Maybe tonight I shall get through some during Pushing Daisies. I am sooooo tired though. Maybe I will just sleep for once!

But most likely I will be trying my hand at making these. They just seem so cute and yummy. My last foray into baking led into the creation of the crapapple. Well that is what I call it anyway. I was all excited to make tiny strudels but then realized um I can't roll filo dough that tiny. So I made some ugly lookin' things, and then opted to just layer it in a square pan, cause now the dough was cut and couldn't just be made into normal sized studels. So yeah it tasted ok, almost just like it should, but I really needed more sugar and spice in it not to mention how ugly it all looked in the end. Ugly dessert just doesn't taste as good to me for some reason. So I need to make a rebound cute dessert to make me forget the crapapple. And tiny jello meringues sound like just the ticket! Easy and pretty, yay!

10/31/07: Put on a Costume or a Spirited Shirt at Least


Ok so we didn't have time to carve or paint or even bake any pumpkins around here this year, as you can see above we have done in the past. But we are wearing cute shirts at least!!

Happy Halloween

10/08/07: Haunted Graveyard

Went to the best Haunted "House" ever this weekend! I love halloween and last year we did the Sleepy Hollow Jack O'Lantern Blaze, which was awesome too but not scary. This Haunted Graveyard was a fun scare I must say. We were laughing and screaming and applauding the whole way through the 45 minute long set up. Really well done scenery and several complete themes throughout. The ghoulish actors had fabulous timing. No photos aloud, drat! It all has to live in my memory (you can get a little taste on their website).

If you live nearby I totally recommend going to Lake Compounce to see it!

09/16/07: New Look

Dunno why, but I felt like playing around with the look of the site. Not sure if I am thrilled with the posts page color, but this is it for now. I based this on a little doodle I did awhile back.

09/07/07: Overload!!

Man I had a serious spamming problem last week. Sorry to anyone whose comments were lost in the mayhem, I had a lot of cleaning up to do and I think I wasn't as careful as I should have been in some cases. My email was all filled up too and I had not idea. So I was lost in space for a bit there. Will try to return to a more regular me soon.

05/17/07: Rule of Thumb

Always loved the rule of thumb I learned in my painting class in college, "any canvas larger than 36 inches NEEDS a crossbar." I was told this only after making a few big canvas' that were all bendy and twisty with no support. Good times. I wanna paint again. Hmmmm. Maybe a bit tinier this time around.




You Are the Thumb



You're unique and flexible. And you defy any category.

Mentally strong and agile, you do things your own way. And you do them well.

You are a natural leader... but also truly a loner. You inspire many but connect with few.



You get along well with: The Middle Finger



Stay away from: The Pinky





04/18/07: No Pictures...yet...

So I have been spinning lots lately but have not uploaded any pics yet. Laziness is the main culprit there. Anywho as I said, I have been spinning lots and it is because the sister is moving out next week! Why does that make a gal spin you ask? Well because technically it is her wheel and she will be taking it with her, shameful. So soon I shall be wheel-less!!! and the spinning will have to be done manually, he he, with a drop spindle. That shall slow me down quite a bit I must say, so sad. But I have a good reason to go visiting I suppose :) Anywho in honor of her move she has also moved her blog once again, this time to wordpress so it is easier, now she better keep it up! But she did post a purty necklace there so go check it out...and I will have spinning pics here soonish.

04/01/07: Dough Poo

I guess this is my April Fools for this year.

Yuck!

It was time to get rid of some old gingerbread dough saved to bake cookies but I just never had the time. I caught someone else in the house making little poo sculptures with it, aren't they fabulous? I mean nasty! That is some sweet smellin' poo.

Oh, and the image on the left is actually a clump of clay I made in a ceramics class for some texture assignment, my mother has always liked it. Which is something I could never understand since it has a clear resemblance of something not so pleasant.

This is one classy post isn't it? Eh well, happy April Fools!

03/30/07: Portfolio Update

this years holy trinity 5K t-shirt

Above is a little t-shirt design I did last year.

And so, in following the progress pages update we now have the portfolio page update. So exciting I know. Again the page actually links to photos of stuff I have done. Now if I can only get myself to update the patterns page...

02/13/07: More Magnets

I even did the whole glass marble magnet thing in addition to those peppermint ones. I made some paper designs to glue on as well as use some left over fabric from my grandmothers aprons that she was making us. It was very red and green on my kitchen table for a few days!

more magnets

02/12/07: The Making of the Peppermint Magnets

This is a follow up to this post from a while back. Since I hadn't gifted it completely I didn't mention what they were back then, but now I can. See all the wrapping madness that went on here back in december?

Now you can place them in an altoid tin and wrap them up!

01/06/07: Updated Site

Well I did a whole redesign thing way back in June 06 as a follow up to moving my blog to myafinari and as I am sure you can believe I never uploaded it. Pretty slacker of me really, I was so close to a whoel new website. So for the start of this new year I have uploaded it at last. Now mind you, I did not add to what I did back in June as of yet nor have I put all the images and links and what not I had originally intended up at this time, but I felt a now or never sort of thing nagging at me and so it is what it is and you are welcome to look at it in all it's unfinished glory. So here is to the 'Grand Opening' of MyaFinari.com!

Hoping to update the progress, patterns, and portfolio sometime this month.

12/21/06: Parties!

We have an annual office food and grab bag day. I made the carmel corn for that. And here is a shot of part of the table. Everyone made lots of good stuffs as usual and somehow I volunteered myself to compile the department cookbook from what everyone made. Adding to my extra projects? Yeah I am smart huh?

time to eat!

And here is a photo of the corner of the block my building is on. I love the giant ornaments even if they have been the same every year for some time now. Sorry the photo is a little dark. We were thinking of watching the Rockefellar Tree Lighting ceremony this day cause we never have and I felt festive. But then reality kicked in and the crowds were way too much to deal with, so smartly we got on the train and watched it from the good ol' tv!

it's a radio city christmas!

12/20/06: Peppermints Galore!

12/03/06: Holiday Meme

Figured since Nikol and Carolyn did it here I would just put my answers up too.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
At the moment it is Starbucks Peppermint Mocha, yes that means hot chocolate :)

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
They are all wrapped in santa paper (paper that has santas on it). And as my Mom said he has his own font? handwriting :)

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Colored and white.

4. Do you hang mistletoe?
No.

5. When do you put your decorations up?
I put up my piano decorations the day after thanksgiving, the rest we shall see.

6. What is your favorite holiday dish?
Goodness me I am going to go with desserts, especially gingerbread cookies, I love to bake 'em and eat 'em

7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
My Grandpa coming in dressed as Santa and giving us little cousins all these Orphan Annie coloring gizmos that looked like etch a sketches. I loved that thing :)

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Not sure when, but I was older than most and was handed a book to read that told the truth. And it mentioned something about not ruining it for others. After that I was even more excited to get to stay up late and wrap the santa gifts and got to help surprise the rest of the siblings. Only to find out later they already knew but didn't want the presents to dwindle! So now we all play santa for eachother.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
Yes, one gift.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Bulbs first, heavy ones to the middle of the strong branches, and sparkly glass ones by the lights, and we rarely get rid of an ornament handmade or given so it is a full tree alrighty.

11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Like it for sledding and skiing. Don't like it for bringing cold with it, but if it is cold anyway I say it better snow or else what is the point?

12. Can you ice skate?
Yuppers. Love it!

15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Yes dessert is my favorite, and again I especially favor the gingerbread.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Getting home from church christmas eve and everyone running around putting their presents under the tree. It is just so fun for some reason everyone trying to hide little surprises. More fun than the opening I think. And baking nutroll with my Baba is my other favorite.

17. What tops your tree?
A star.

18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
Giving.

19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Little drummer boy.

20. Candy canes yuck or yum?

21. What's number one on your Christmas list this year?
Alvin

08/02/06: Hello Naughty Bugs...

See the bugs eating away at the apple trees and destroying any hope of an apple this season? Shame on them. And look what else they are doing while on said tree!! I guess once you taste the fruit there is just no going back.

they killed the apples!

07/24/06: Entered Random Contest

Hey there, so my Aunt told me about a little contest she saw and thought I might be interested. Well I figured I would play around with it for the heck of it. It is for Janet Jackson's new album cover coming out in September I think. So click on the link below and vote for me if you feel up to it. (the link should bring you right to my design as the large one on the left with smaller ones on the right, to rate it just roll over and click up to 5 stars, and then you can check out some of the other entries.)

06/23/06: I'll Have a Martini no Olive

Ok bud tell me your story.

I just had to have those little candles for the bar when I saw them on sale at the checkout counter in Target. So cute! Oh you gotta love last minute impulse buys. And man they smell good too!

Amy  General 

06/22/06: Ceramic Corn Dishes

We had corn on the cob the other day and I just felt compelled to take a little photo of our cute dishes my aunt made for us a long time ago. She made all sorts of ceramics you see, while my mom painted wood, and my grandmother made quilted items for craft shows.

Gotta love corn on the cob!

She even put our names on the bottom so we would know which one was ours. Normally we don't worry about that and use whichever we get, but this dinner we accidently all had the right dishes, freaky.

06/21/06: Sidewalk Art

Ok so this chalk drawing was done on the driveway. Yeah the siblings know you can never be too old to draw with chalk when you find it while cleaning out the 'rents garage. Sad to say it has since washed away good thing I took a picture!

Smile!

06/19/06: Meet Winnie the Cooper!

Yay she arrived, and a month early, so let the adventures begin! So it rained on day 2 and now I have no pretty pictures of her all pristine, so sad, although amusing since the word DRY appears in the plate number.

Meet Winnie the Cooper!

Winnie got her name cause well I have always been told things like "Hey you look just like that girl, Winnie, on The Wonder Years!" ever since I was small and the show first came out. Even in college when I chopped off my long hair, I can remember whispers behind me "Oh my gosh!! Winnie Cooper cut her hair!!" Um ok they were loud whispers and my name is not actually Winnie. Also one of my friends from grade school has the same name as the actress Danica McKellar only spelled differently, which is pretty rare I would think.

So now I no longer have the long hair and I am considerably older than the character (although only one year younger than the actress) and I was still told that I look just like her, while at the office and by the water cooler no less! I wonder if they meant I look like the character this time or that I look like Danica? hmmm. This was about a week before the car's arrival, and several years since the last occurance of, oh you look just like... So since my cars always get named*, I present you with Winnie the Cooper! Oh yeah, there is also the last name is part of the cars' model thing :)

*Other cars names include: Shake 'n Bake - VW Rabbit when it was starting to say goodbye, The Beef - Hyundai just so we could yell "Where's the Beef?", and Silver Bullet - 95 Eclipse that never really could go as fast as a bullet.

05/17/06: Over the Hedge

Check out the little cuties we saw on our street this weekend! They were so scared they didn't want to move so we had to nudge them a bit to get them back into the safety of the greenery.

Little cuties aren't they?

There were actually 3 of them wiggling across the street.

Almost home.

And at last they were back to safety hiding in the tall grass.
