Month of Gratitude, week four
So, this is it – the last day of November, and the last day of the Month of Gratitude project. Did you enjoy yourselves? I hope so. My own month was inconvenient health-wise, and the tendency to get fed up with neck aches, fevers, sniffles, and antibiotics was present throughout much of it. But times [...]

It’s time for another Polka Dot Download! I’ve been wanting to write this one up for ages and I finally sat down and did it. Fiesta Hats are great one-night projects, featuring bright colors and simple techniques. I’ve written instructions for both loom knitters and needle knitters, so you can make these hats no matter [...]

It all started with a bag of apple “seconds,” a willing assistant, and a photo op. Eamonn was helping me break in our new apple peeler/corer/slicer, and I (of course) had the camera out for the occasion. “Let’s make a video,” said he, and before long we found ourselves embarking on a multi-part Flufy Makes [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! I usually spend Black Friday hanging around in my pj’s with the rest of the family, maybe geeking out on the computer, maybe reading a book, maybe knitting something, probably enjoying a little leftover apple pie… I rarely give much thought to shopping. Even as a store-owner myself! Well that all is changing [...]

I was rereading my last several posts and noticed how negative they were – blech! Enough of that. I’m in a happy mood now that most of the difficulties of the last few weeks are behind me, Thanksgiving is almost here, and there’s so much in the next several weeks to look forward to. Yay! [...]

Oops, I missed posting on Friday. I spent Friday morning trying to sleep off the remains of my cold and Friday afternoon packing for the weekend trip we’d been planning for some time. A word to the wise: when the little voice in your head suggests that maybe you should leave a day later in [...]

…it pours. Finally getting over my sore neck issues, and now I have my son’s cold (but with a twist – I was lucky enough to get a fever and a headache, too). Throw in a little PMS just for kicks, and well, it’s been a fun few days over here. Yesterday I was good [...]

I promise my messy kitchen didn’t swallow me up. I spent enough time in there on Saturday to get half the job done and to help Flufy film part two of his apple pie series: the crust. I still have the table to do, and there’s a section of countertop on the left that you [...]

Good morning! After a week of being out-of-sorts for a variety of reasons, I am suddenly overcome with the desire to do something about this: And if I have any energy left after that is done, there is still half a bag of apple “seconds” I could have my way with… I’ve got three pie [...]

Twelve days in, and I feel my enthusiasm starting to fizzle. Maybe a month is too much? It’s not that I am not thankful for the many wonderful things in my life, it’s just that I’m not really feeling like photographing them. Maybe it’s the neck ache talking – I haven’t been sleeping well, waking [...]
