Spring! Finally! I've noticed whenever we have a mild winter, it hangs around, and hangs around, and hangs around. My weather app tells me the cold days are over, though, so, hooray! (And, in a few months, I'll be looking forward to the cooler weather. You can't please me. I know. It's annoying.) The kids had … Continue reading What I Did on My Spring Break…

The Days, They are A’Flyin’!
I promised blog content once a week, and, two months into this year, I'm definitely having trouble with this goal. I blame life, though. It's crazy! Each time I think there will be a moment to breath, the moment is over before I exhale. But, I hate excuses. Instead, I'll just launch right into what's … Continue reading The Days, They are A’Flyin’!
And, that is Why they are Goals, Not Resolutions
So, I missed last week. I thought about posting. I really did. I just got a little overwhelmed by all the celebrities dying. Around my birthday (it was last week). As I march slowly to middle age, and, ultimately, death. (See. Total downer. I did you all a favor by skipping last week.) I did … Continue reading And, that is Why they are Goals, Not Resolutions
It Catches Up…
Everything has finally caught up to me--the holidays, the lack of sleep, the everything. I was so happy to be back home (despite loving my extended family) because it meant time with my yarn, time with my fabric, and time with my brand-spanking-new Copic markers. But then, everything caught up to me, as did a … Continue reading It Catches Up…
Diagonal Striping
As I suspected, I was not able to find the chunky yarn I "tested" with for the scarf pattern the other day. No biggie. I just frogged the few rows I had and rolled it back into a ball. I have several different color balls of that yarn, so I'm just going to turn it … Continue reading Diagonal Striping
Shell Stitch Scarf (and Some Other Stuff…)
As you can see, the shell stitch scarf, c'est fini! I love how it turned out, although, Maggie finds it a little bulky. She'll appreciate it when the temps are below freezing, though. Those hexagons up there should be a little familiar. They used to look like this: I didn't like how busy it looked, so … Continue reading Shell Stitch Scarf (and Some Other Stuff…)
Finished and Unfinished
Okay. It's been a while, and because of that, there is a lot to share. These are not in any particular order. I'm currently working on the last item pictured. It's a star stitch scarf I'm making for Mags to go with her Chance of Flurries hat I finished last week. That goofy looking lady … Continue reading Finished and Unfinished
Oblique Sweater and a Not Finished Painting
As promised, here are some progress photos on various projects. I'm knitting up a sweater--for ME! I'm using the Oblique pattern I found on Ravelry. I like it, despite my mistake of twisting my YOs in the wrong direction. (I did it on purpose. Why? Because I thought I was doing them wrong and thought … Continue reading Oblique Sweater and a Not Finished Painting
A Summary of the Last Several Months
I can sum up the last several months (okay, it's been closer to a year since I've posted) with one word: Marceline. She was born in December. Saying life has been crazy ever since is not accurate. It was crazy to begin with. She's the fourth and last child--I do not plan on having anymore. There … Continue reading A Summary of the Last Several Months
Some Finished Projects
The blanket is from the Bouncy Ball Baby Blanket pattern. The hat, Drops pattern 0-814 Men's hat in "Alaska". I have a few other projects still in the works, like the Sugarplum Baby Blanket, which, sadly, I haven't picked up since my stitch counter on my phone got accidentally reset. 😦 I'm also working on … Continue reading Some Finished Projects
