Another scarf and thrift shop luck
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! [...]

…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 [...]

It’s been a quiet week on the blog, but not so in Real Life™. The kids started school on Tuesday, and this being the first year that both of them have a full day schedule, it’s been rather odd for me. I certainly have enough to keep me busy, but it’s hard to get out [...]

Eamonn and I were baking bread last week when he said, out of the blue, “how come you don’t knit anymore?” The honest answer? I was in the middle of a Spring scarf sometime in April, when I got to the end of the skein, and I was too lazy to go upstairs for the [...]

I think the book is aptly-named. It’s the weekend, and I have been sewing. I had Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross on my wish list, and I really was going to avoid buying it and just wait for my birthday. But this week I started seeing projects pop up here and there, and well, it [...]

As I type, the mercury is creeping up past 62 degrees. I’m wearing shoes without socks, a lightweight shirt, and fun daisy earrings. Several of the windows in the house are open in an effort to flush out the staleness of winter, and I’ve decided to pick up Aidan from school today so he won’t [...]

Busy busy busy day today, but I think I can spare just a moment to discuss something that I know is on everyone’s mind today: Scarves. Don’t try to deny it. You’ve been preoccupied for the last several days, wondering how you will ever keep your neck warm as the weather turns more and more [...]

You probably know that my “thing,” for the last year or so, has been to create custom color schemes in polymer clay to coordinate with existing designer fabrics. But long before I started matching fabric, I was devising my own color schemes. I still use both types of color families in my current polymer clay [...]

One of my oldest friends is having a birthday party for her 6-year-old at the bowling alley tomorrow, and of course the first thing I thought was “I have a skirt for that!” I made my skirt back in August, but I haven’t actually been bowling in many many years. I even made a couple [...]
