Who can resist a rainbow? Not me. Rainbow suspenders a la Mork, Rainbow Bright, Cheer Bear. That is the stuff of my childhood! After the success of Nate's Happy Throw last year, I thought it was time to make Lorelai a new blanket. She still has (and uses) the Big Bad Baby blanket I made… Continue reading FO Friday Finally Rainbows

FO Friday Dimetrodon
This summer I'm participating in the Planet June Dinosaur Crochet-A-Long. Nate has been asking me to make a Spinosaurus for a while now, and while the Dimetrodon is not quite the same thing, he was happy to see it. The pattern pack I purchased included my favorite dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus, so it's a win all… Continue reading FO Friday Dimetrodon
FO Friday Two Cowls
Two of my three projects for Loopy Academy's 2nd Semester of Freshman Year are cowls. I love working on cowls, they are relatively quick, are not fussy as scarves can be, and provide the right amount of warmth right at your neck. This semester had a felting requirement, one I was not terribly interested in.… Continue reading FO Friday Two Cowls
FO Friday A Crochet Basket
One of the yarns I spotlighted during April's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge was the Be Sweet T-Shirt yarn. At some point in April, most likely because the yarn was still sitting out after photographing it, I balled it up and started to crochet a basket! It worked up quickly (only 55 yards!) but did hurt my… Continue reading FO Friday A Crochet Basket
Snow Tired
You've probably seen and heard the jokes online about the cold and snow here in New England. They are all true. It's cold, we're still surrounded by snow and ice and it just keeps coming without much of a break in between. During the first blizzard, way back in January, I started working on a… Continue reading Snow Tired
Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
Ready to send off to Chicago for the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign! I made 12 red hats, also meeting the Sunset Family Living NICU Challenge. Nice way to use up some of the red acrylic and cotton in my stash, and I continued to work on my crochet skills. I ended up with… Continue reading Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
January is National Blood Donor Month
Donating blood is such a simple gesture, but one I take great pride in and a cause I believe in. I signed up in high school as soon as I was old enough and have given when I could over the years. I would like to make it a much more regular habit. January is… Continue reading January is National Blood Donor Month
As You Wish
Since my daughter is on winter break from school this week, we've let her stay up a bit later at night and we all settle down with a book to read. That has helped me finally finish The Rent Collector. I liked the story and the references to how wonderful it is to be able… Continue reading As You Wish
My Deer Dachshund
I've got a finished object to share and I don't want to wait until Friday. I expect that I will be blogging on a bit of a random schedule for the next few weeks. I'm trying to organize and plan and prep and get the creative mojo going again and also relax and enjoy the… Continue reading My Deer Dachshund
Neckwarmers for All
Years ago I made a fantastic scarf for my husband. Chunky baby alpaca yarn, long enough to wrap around your neck and be snug. I made it so long ago that it isn't even in my Ravelry projects! Dan's scarf has been showing signs of wear, so I decided it was time to make a… Continue reading Neckwarmers for All
