Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! It is a rather dreary day here, so that is annoying and giving us a touch of cabin fever. We are having a mostly quiet 4th even with the rain. The biggest plan is to tucker out the kids so that my son will sleep ok… Continue reading FO Friday Cuteness

WIP Wednesday- Pollen edition
I have so many projects going on right now and I can't share any of them! It is a mix of custom requested projects, gift items, and test/samples - all under wraps for the time being. I really wanted to share something this week, so I started something new. (Who's surprised? No one who reads… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Pollen edition
Yarn Along / WIP Wednesday – For the kids edition
Truth: It's been a decent week for starting projects. I am super pleased at how a few of them are progressing, so that's good. I am not so pleased with how a finger on my hook holding hand tends to cramp up / lock straight when I crochet an awful lot. Has this happened to… Continue reading Yarn Along / WIP Wednesday – For the kids edition
A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
It's been a good week! This cowl was my first crochet test project! Crystal wore hers a few weeks back to our knitting group and I was absolutely taken with it. I was rather forward in telling her that I was very interested in the pattern - I am feeling a lot more comfortable with… Continue reading A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
Bug Eyed & Sluggish
The Blizzard of 2013 has come and gone but we're going to be dealing with this mess for a while. We measured 26" outside our front door, and CT effectively shut down this weekend. My husband and I worked shoveling our driveway yesterday and today and we're maybe 1/3 of the way done. We haven't… Continue reading Bug Eyed & Sluggish
So this was Christmas…
Whoosh. Another Christmas has come and gone - it was a whirlwind (as always) and went by way to fast (as always) but was a good time & a success! This year we were low key on the side of decorations due to the Little Nutmeg being rather full of grabby hands. We had a… Continue reading So this was Christmas…
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
Christmas Knits
I have to say, I am quite pleased with myself and the gifts I knit for Christmas. There was no frantic weaving in of ends, and for the most part everything work as I intended it to. I found these great handmade gift labels to attach to each gift and include some care instructions on… Continue reading Christmas Knits
Coronation
Before I had kids (!! kids, I have kids!) I used to think that 3 or 4 was a nice number of kids to have - in my family I am the oldest of 3, my dad is the oldest of 4 and my mom is the oldest of 7. Now? I'm good with two… Continue reading Coronation
Little things
Officially now I am playing the waiting game. It is a game I have played before, I am usually a good sport about it (even though I hate to wait!), so I am trying to focus on little things in the here and now. There have been some fun things of which to make note.… Continue reading Little things
