Last week I shared that I had started The Husband's Secret in my Yarn Along post. Not surprisingly, I devoured it - it was interesting, and soap-opera-ish, and I couldn't put it down. Perfect summer fodder. It has already been returned to the library, as it's one of their "7-day" loans. My reading mojo is… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Can’t Tell You Too Much Edition

WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
I can't quite put my finger on the why, but my reading mojo has just not been there. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is interesting but takes its time, and when I have a few moments to read, what I'm reading is just ok. When I have to stop reading to switch… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Mojo Kickstart
A Blanket and BonBons
While I do have other projects to be working on (always!), I am really glad that I started the "I'm 37 I'm not Old Blanket"! The first stripe is just about done. I picture the length to be slightly longer than I am tall. Life in this little nutshell has been tiring lately and in… Continue reading A Blanket and BonBons
WIP Wednesday Catch up edition
a note: I'm almost done with the Blogging from A-to-Z April Challenge! Check out all my AtoZ Challenge posts by clicking here. I have been knitting and reading and didn't want to wait until next week to jump back in with a WIP Wednesday update! I had to return the Candy book to the library.… Continue reading WIP Wednesday Catch up edition
Piles
Generally I am not a monogamous project knitter. I tend to have multiple projects going on at all times, piles of yarn in assorted states everywhere too. It suits me and my mood, unfortunately it likely drives the rest of the family nuts. I love working on a detailed project but there are times when… Continue reading Piles
Looking for Color
Do you ever feel desperate for color? Where I live, by the time March rolls around you start to see a few daffodils or snowdrops here and there. It has just been too cold for too long and the piles of snow are not going anywhere fast. Today we were met with another few inches… Continue reading Looking for Color
Candy Crush
We're starting to see the other side of everyone being sick and cooped up with cabin fever. The sun is shining today, the ice is starting to slide off the roof (much to Jackson's delight), and even my books and yarn are bright and cheery. I finished Eleanor & Park and really enjoyed it. I… Continue reading Candy Crush
Planning Ahead
Most of my knitting is currently under wraps. The baby gifts are coming along nicely, I finished a hat, and I did work in a few more rows on Dan's Socks. I also decided on my next projects for the second semester of Loopy Academy Freshman Year. I'll post more on that either when the… Continue reading Planning Ahead
After the Blizzard
For all the hype for "Blizzard 2015", I was happy to wake up to see snowfall amounts that were way less than forecast! We still have 15-18" of snow, shoveling to do, and the kids are going on their second day with no school. The power stayed on, the local plow guy was here early… Continue reading After the Blizzard
Tinkering
This week I started reading Love Anthony by Lisa Genova, on loan from my MIL. I am not too far in and I am hooked enough that I am curious about the characters, but not overwhelmingly so. I am enjoying getting back into reading and am glad that we are trying to make it part… Continue reading Tinkering
