I have been, for the last two days or so, feeling so so much better! Not only better from the intense pain I came home from surgery with, but better than I felt PRIOR to surgery! It has made me think about how I got to this. I hold knitting needles in my hands. And it's … Continue reading The Violence to Healing

Knit Together! (and Crochet!)
I'm not sure how to put into words the joy that I have with these dear friends. I wish I could write more eloquently about them to make up for the lack in my photography skills.

Finally!!
Remember these crochet circles? And that they were originally to be covering a tired old hassock, but due to a middle schooler's urging, they now are pillow shams! It's great to have such creative counsel right in one's own home! The circle "squares" had been assembled for some time now, I just needed to sew … Continue reading Finally!!
Kool Aid to Dye for!
**This post comes with a warning: If you continue reading/viewing, you may wind up with a huge, ridiculous grin on your face such as I have in the above pic!
