Harry

Posted on/at 6:25 PM by The Goddess



Halloween 2003. Conner was in kindergarten. I'm aware of my bias in thinking my kid's cute, but total strangers at the Halloween party at the fairgrounds came up to us all night to tell us he had the best Harry Potter costume they'd ever seen. I remember what a blast the kids had that night. He still has the scarf I made. Such a sentimental kid.

Slippers for Boy

Posted on/at 5:26 PM by The Goddess




My son was complaining recently about the chilly post-winter floors. I suggested I make him a pair of woolen slippers, since I just finished spinning up a batch of Corriedale.






I used the pattern I found at Knitting at Knoon Designs in the youth size. After a couple of afternoons, I ended up with what looked like giant sloth socks.


Two complete trips through the laundry on a warm permapress cycle made them come right 'round, to look more slipper-like, thusly.



DS is delighted with the outcome. They are thick and woolly and keep his feet off the cold floors. I'm thinking maybe I need to whip up a pair for myself.

My Morph Kids

Posted on/at 8:36 AM by The Goddess

I've been playing with MorphThing again. Here are pics of my husband and I, taken at our early morning best.




Aren't we adorable? (I admit, it's an older picture taken before I got this sick.)

I morphed them together to see what the computer thinks our kids might look like. Here's what it came up with.






Well, maybe when my son grows up and gets a sex change. Here's what he really looks like. Both my kids got my extremely fair skin and my hair.



Here's how he acts sometimes. I feel like maybe evil Gollum sneaked in late one night.





Just kidding, BTW. My kids are abnormally fantastic. Not perfect, by any means, but they bring me unimagined joy. I don't know how we got by without them years ago.

Goddess-in-Training of Frog Hollow

Posted on/at 6:12 AM by The Goddess


The Goddessette . Yes, she's an odd one.


Take a minute to click on the thumbnail and take a look at what DD brought home from school today. They are studying frogs in first grade science. The Goddess-in-Training at Frog Hollow wants to be a tadpole because they're small and she draws awesome little one-eyed smiling frogs. I disagree with her answer on the multiple guess question. A frog grows from a tadpole to a mouthful!

Six Generations

Posted on/at 5:10 PM by The Goddess


My great-great grandfather, Maxwell Wellington Wilkinson (1847-1922)



My great grandfather, Francis Eugene Wilkinson (1872-1956)



My grandfather, Howard Edward Wilkinson (1899-1965)




My father, Peter Wilkinson (1937-2002) A rare early shot of him mustacheless. He later followed the Wilkinson walrus trend.







Me! Gabrielle Kimberly Wilkinson Adams (1969-) Fuchsia hair in front of my family tree. No mustache here, though I'm tempted to buy one, just for laughs. My brother wears one.



My children, Conner and Samantha. No mustaches... yet.





I would love to add a picture of my ggg grandfather George Maxwell Wilkinson (1809-1884) to my collection. He emmigrated to New York from Scotland and married Polly Spicer, a descendant of the venerable Spicer family. If anyone knows where I can find one, I'd be thrilled.


Update: Apr 20, 2009


My distant cousin Ross sent me this photo of the aforementioned George Maxwell Wilkinson. I'm beside myself with excitement. Pictures of the entire lineage... all seven generations.
