*Crochet Your Heart!

(Last year's Valentine's Card. I'm working on this year's!:) I think I might like Valentine's Day even more than Christmas. Well no...maybe it's a tie. What I like is that Valentine's is simple. Or can be. Just a little gift to let someone know you "heart" them. And of course, the chocolate is pretty cool too! … Continue reading *Crochet Your Heart!

Rhubarb

But as I was walking yesterday, I kept thinking this: Gray winter days are best enjoyed with … Continue reading Gray Winter Days…

Delight :: 2015

Happy New Year to One and All! This is the word I've chosen for this New Year!! Actually, it feels a bit like the word was tugging at my sleeve, asking to be picked up and carried throughout 2015. As I look down the corridor of 2015, I'm delighted that I don't have surgery awaiting … Continue reading Delight :: 2015

The Violence to Healing

Won't you pop over to my other blog Drawn2Life? I really should have posted it here on this blog since it's a knitterly post! But I tend to put my writerly thoughts over there...hmmm...I think that may need to change!:)
