How are you holding up in the heat? I am thankful to have the air conditioner on, but I do wish it wasn't running full all the time. I hate to sweat, so I'm a bit more crabby lately. Last week (or maybe the week before) I tried a "Homemade Slushee" recipe I found on… Continue reading WIP & Yarn Along
Lots to Share!
I'm very excited to link up with WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along this week, look at that pile! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, is very good and I am half-way through it. I want to read Gone Girl, but currently the library has it on a 7 day loan status, something I may have been… Continue reading Lots to Share!
FO Friday – Summertime Socks
It's Friday but it feels like a Saturday. Fourth of July in the middle of the week throws me for a loop, on top of my husband having Wednesday and today off. It was a nice day and I meant to catch up on my WIP wednesday / Yarn Along, but it just didn't happen. … Continue reading FO Friday – Summertime Socks
there and back again
And there goes June. This weekend was very busy, but in the best possible way: with family and yarn!

My parents and brother (the one in the middle) went there this… Continue reading there and back again

The deadline for these, for Camp Loopy purposes, is July 1 and I think I just might make it! While working on these I am remembering why I love knitting socks so much and it… Continue reading WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along
Monday Listicle – Photos!
Oh Monday. Certain days are rough enough, but Monday? Today was a doozy. The Lorax and I picked eleven pounds of strawberries yesterday - and there's only so much you can do so fast with berries. It was a spur of the moment decision to go picking and we filled the flat! I've made 5… Continue reading Monday Listicle – Photos!
It’s My Birthday
Happy Birthday to me, happy Thursday to you! Today is the first day all week where we have not had any plans set, so it is especially nice to take our time, work on a few projects, play outside and relax. I'm still recovering from the brain mush. I've skipped WIP Wednesday this week and… Continue reading It’s My Birthday
Monday Listicle: TV Shows
Hello Monday. It was a good weekend, a busy weekend. Today is the first Monday of summer vacation and my husband is working from home and it is just a bit nuts around here. The photo of the koosh ball in the sink? Yeah, I had to grab that out of the toilet after my… Continue reading Monday Listicle: TV Shows
