It’s not so much that I mind the headlice – sure all of the laundering, freezing, scorching, treatment-giving, and nit-picking etc. is a royal pain, but I can deal with that. I don’t really even mind driving the kids to their two different schools to have them checked out by their nurses before being allowed […]

Now, I don’t know about you, but when I am presented a box full of like objects, my first impulse is to sort them. So there I sat, on […]

The littlest member of the family brought home a gift for us this week. If you recognize that very fine-toothed comb up there, you know of what I speak. I’ve always thought it was rather sweet how the boys end up sleeping together most nights, sharing blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. And I have never […]

My time at the Clayathon ended up being all about the shawl pins. I’m so glad I tried making a few that first day, because I really loved the way they turned out. Particularly once I’d spent some quality time sanding them smooth. And even more so, when I sat down at the buffing wheel […]

Don’t you think? Once I finish the ribbing at the bottom, I’ll just need to add the sleeves and the ruffle, and lastly the closure. The closure is supposed to be crocheted ties, but I am thinking a shawl pin might be a fun option. As luck would have it, I am currently holed up […]

I admit it. I have, in the past, owned entirely too many kitchen gadgets. Sometimes I would buy them myself, often I would receive them as Christmas gifts. At one time or another I owned a rice cooker, hand blender, electric wok, food processor, blender, electric griddle, ice cream maker, sandwich pouch thingy, pizzelle maker, […]

So, I’ve been plugging away at that sweater for about a week now, doing a few rows here and there after supper and before bed. This image shows where I was three days ago. Today I finished the yoke. I’m already much further along than I ever thought I would be on knitting my own […]
Read More: The yoke’s on meI feel like this week has gone by in a whirlwind of super-busy-being. And yet, I’ve spent enough time on the couch that I wouldn’t be surprised to find dents the shape of my rear-end in the cushion. Weird week. Every first full week of January, having just re-opened my two shops (Polka Dot Creations […]

I would like to respectfully suggest a small change to the seasons in New Jersey. You see, currently the leaves are gone from the trees by the end of October, the cold moves in, and we don’t see spring until at least Tax Day. That’s six months of blech. Cold blech, most of the time. […]

Fair Warning: here begins approximately three months of moaning about the cold and longing for spring. What can I say? It’s a little ritual of mine. Do you know what else appears to be gaining ritual status for me? January knitting. By the time supper is cleaned up, homework is done, and the kids are […]
