A Knitting Ditty
For all who are seized with thoughts of yarn and needles clicking together and wools to wear and gifts to give and designs to try and stitches to learn. You are not alone. 🙂 Do you knit? (To the tune of “Do your ears hang low?”) Do you knit and purl? Do you give it … Continue reading A Knitting Ditty
A Line for Maddie
Friends of ours who went to live overseas, said to those of us sending them off, that we were the ones holding the line on the other end for them. Â I loved that thought! And, as an artist, the idea that I hold one end of the drawn line as they "draw" the lines of … Continue reading A Line for Maddie
Can’t Wait for a Cure!
There are days I long for a cure for Type 1 Diabetes more acutely than others.

Brown yarn has never been something I gravitated to in the midst of luscious raspberry hanks, purpley-hued skeins, vibrant lime balls, sumptuously variegated twists of wool or cotton hanging in a glittering yarn … Continue reading Knitting Brown
Le Cycliste and Le Tour de Pig
Sharpie & Sketchbook went with me to Lexington, NC this past Saturday to cheer on my husband as he came in to the finish line of the Tour de Pig bike ride. The rest of us sat in our chairs ringing cow bells, hootin' and hollerin' as cyclists came in. Many of them love being … Continue reading Le Cycliste and Le Tour de Pig
A Grateful Girl!
A couple of Sundays ago, Maddie told me on our way home, that in Children's Church, the teacher asked them all a question: What is something you are thankful for and why? "Mom", she said, "I've always felt thankful for insulin, and that is what I said. But I don't think it ever really hit … Continue reading A Grateful Girl!
