Some for me, some for you?
Before Christmas I showed you how I went down a crazy path, and made a whole set of coordinating crochet hook handles for myself. What I never told you was that I tried to use one of the hooks a few hours later, and it was terrible. I’ve heard people say that they are fiercely [...]

It takes me just about as long to take down Christmas as it does to put it up. In other words, about a month. I’m really so slow about the whole thing. I do a room, and then I live with it a while. Until I’m ready to do another room. And then I enjoy [...]

A typical winter night finds us all together in the family room, doing our own things. The boys usually work on their homework, and Neil and I do computer work (or play, as the case may be) on our laptops. Sometimes I knit or crochet instead. I enjoy this cozy time together tremendously. Tonight, being [...]

It was just over a year ago that I got this lovely camera bag. I loved it (as much as one could love a bag) and I took it with me everywhere. I loved that I could always have my camera in tow, and that it was well-protected. I really loved that the tote looked [...]

It’s been somewhat quiet in Blogland these last several days, but I have to believe there are a few of you out there still checking in, just as I have been reading a few long-time favorites, too – mostly via my tablet, from under my quilt, while next to a crackling fire. Oh, I have [...]

They’ve been spending the last few days staring deep into screens. These particular screens are from their grandparents. There have been other screens too, these few days since Christmas. And while I would normally feel the urge to limit the time spent playing with such devices, I’m letting it go. After all, it’s Christmas. What is [...]

We’re not really one of those families who has the tree up the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, we’re often lucky to have our act together in that department by Christmas Eve. True to form, this year I’ve been slow to get the house cleaned up, preferring to focus instead on closing up the shops [...]

I look forward to this day every year: the day after I close down the shop(s) for the season. It’s a day to take a deep breath, relax, and then jump headlong into the Christmas preparations I’ve been neglecting all month! I’ll be making my gift-giving list later today, and getting myself all organized – [...]

I may be raising future bank robbers. Or weirdos. They might just be weirdos. (P.S. Thanks for the moral support on my last post. You’re the best. *hugs*)
