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

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
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
Jump
Before I get to my knitting, today's shout out for #CHDAwareness is to the Jump Rope for Hearts programs you might hear about at the local schools. My daughter is participating to raise money for the American Heart Association to support research on children's heart conditions. This is a great cause (and if you're so… Continue reading Jump
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
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
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 An Elf and Distractions
My daughter was given The Best Christmas Pageant Ever for her birthday and I picked it up last weekend to re-read it. I know I read it a long time ago. The book itself is only 96 pages and I quickly made it through the first few chapters. Our Elf on the Shelf even picked… Continue reading WIP Wednesday An Elf and Distractions
