Not exactly the kind of adventure either you or I would want to go on, but adventure nonetheless: *There is travel involved. *I'm packing a suitcase. *There will be new experiences. *I will meet new people. *I will return different than I was before. This kind of adventure … Continue reading Adventure

Stress Relief Knitting
A few weeks back, at a soccer game of Maddie's, I had to go stand way down at the far end of the field behind all the parents on the line. The stress was getting to me. Multiple coaches (I don't understand why this is needed?) were hollering on the sidelines at the girls. Parents were … Continue reading Stress Relief Knitting
Kaleidoscopes & Sock Yarn

Or they run out of a particular color and instead of trying to match the dye lots, she/he just keeps going … Continue reading Changing Yarn

Meet Mortimer & Millicent
A love story in pictures... There are times when you just have to make them. You don't understand why. You're not going to give them to anyone. You want them for yourself. You know it will take time. A lot of time. But you just don't care, 'cause you swooned when you saw this book. … Continue reading Meet Mortimer & Millicent
