Cue up Grease! It seems like not matter where the storm named Sandy actually hits (Delaware? Atlantic City? NYC?), CT is going to feel part of the punch. We're all still smarting from Irene & the Halloween nor'easter of 2011! We are prepared for the worst, but I am hoping for the best. I hope… Continue reading Oh Sandy!

Pining for Rhinebeck
Oh Rhinebeck. We wait all year to go and then woosh! the weekend just flies by! I had a really great time and consider this year to be a big success. I went with a list and pretty much found what I was looking for: yarn from Green Mountain Spinnery to do a JETS hat… Continue reading Pining for Rhinebeck
Shift Finished!
I am almost done with this year's crazy Rhinebeck Hat - I will probably post a photo on Friday. I can say that both are coming together nicely and this takes the cake for obnoxious, easy to spot, silly, & yet totally appropriate for attending a fiber festival. But this post is about a new… Continue reading Shift Finished!
Charleston Tea, finished!
Just today, I put the Charleston Tea in the mail, to return home at Good Karma Farm up in Maine. I know that I have said it here before but it is worth repeating: I love this yarn! It is a new blend and weight for them, and I am hoping to purchase more at… Continue reading Charleston Tea, finished!
Rewarded
Last week was our local country fair. I entered a few items in the "Needlework" division: Juneberry Triangle, a Cow Hat, and the crochet Mom tattoo hat. I was very pleased to see that all of my entries won ribbons!I have to admit, the competition in the Knitting and Crochet section of Needlework is not… Continue reading Rewarded

Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? It has been a week of light reading - mostly… Continue reading Yarn Along – Sept 19 (and Winner!)

I am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we just had the last weekend of… Continue reading Braids and Cakes and Stripes
So Pretty! Crochet: Review & Giveaway
Hello! Gracious, where does the time go? When I got in touch with Amy about her new book, So Pretty! Crochet, many many weeks ago (ouch!), I had the best intentions of getting this giveaway up and running. I appreciate her patience as life has taken over here. I love back to school time for… Continue reading So Pretty! Crochet: Review & Giveaway
It’s all coming together
I am just about caught up. I think. Last week was thrown for a loop as party preparations took over. We went with a "Hungry Caterpillar" theme (and as themes go, it was a loose one) and this was a very DIY party for Nate's 1st. It was a good day, we had a good… Continue reading It’s all coming together
One!
The days may be long, but the years are short. Truer words are rarely spoken. I can't believe that already a year has passed since the little nutmeg arrived. For the record Nate, here's a bit about you. You have 8 teeth and molars are coming in. Your balance is getting to be pretty good,… Continue reading One!
