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

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
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
Secret Stitches
Last night I finished Love Anthony. The story is certainly heart-squeezing and I thought her portrayal of Anthony (the autistic boy / boy with autism) was unique. The story moments from his point of view made me think, but the rest of the story was sort of meh. I didn't cry or weep while reading… Continue reading Secret Stitches
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
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
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
WIP Wednesday
This week I have been sticking with my spinning for Spinzilla & Team Louet. Looking at what other team members have already accomplished is a bit intimidating, but I am trying to keep the view that I'm still new at this and the whole point is to have fun. I can see an improvement in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
Food for Thought
This week the knitting has been on these two projects - a hat for me and a sample shawl. There's not much else to say about them, they are in the "Just Keep Knitting. Just Keep Knitting" phase. Looks a bit like Peas and Carrots, right? Food on the brain all the time around here.… Continue reading Food for Thought
Not a Pumpkin Head
I am pretty excited to feel the ever so slight chill in the air in the mornings. I have a drawer full of handknit socks ready to go and several hats that I can't wait to put back in to service. It does seem a bit early to me though that everywhere you turn there… Continue reading Not a Pumpkin Head
