Last year was my first year to participate in the eat.sleep.knit Yarnathon. I was a proud member of the winning Stitchosaur Team! I didn't complete the yarnathon in my purchases but my stash was nicely enhanced, I participated in weekly trivia and a challenge or KAL each quarter, and had a fun time. I was curious… Continue reading 2015 Yarnathon
As You Wish to be a Responsible Knitter
I'm devouring the As You Wish book but trying my best to savor it. This book is nothing but love for all the cast and crew and everyone involved in the making of the movie. It strikes me for a moment or two as odd, because what experience is that overwhelmingly positive?! On the other… Continue reading As You Wish to be a Responsible Knitter
Monday Motivation
Call it a thought for the week, Monday motivation or something else. On Mondays I'm planning to share a pin from one my Attitude Pinterest board. Here's to a smooth re-entry into work and school and return to routines! What's keeping you focused this week?
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
Hello 2015!
I love a fresh start. New school year, new year, new notebook, it all feels so open to possibility! 2014 was a mixed bag for me with a mix of good and not so good, but we've made it to see the start of another year, so things can't be all that bad right? I… Continue reading Hello 2015!
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
Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished
In a similar fashion to when semester exams ended, I am breathing a sigh of relief. I have successfully finished my first semester of Freshman Year at Loopy Academy! Let's review: Freshman Year, First Semester Assignments (each project needs to use at least 175 yards): Cowl in a multi-colored (defined as 2 or more distinct… Continue reading Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished
Mitten Progress and more
I can say it was a very good Christmas. The people with whom I spent time, the presents exchanged, and the food were all so wonderful. My mind feels just so full with plans, ideas, and thoughts... hopefully after cleaning up a bit and getting some work done I will be able to recharge with… Continue reading Mitten Progress and more
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
