Phew. That’s better. Thanks, everyone who weighed in on my shirt dilemma. I machine-sewed a seam in the top of each shoulder strap that allowed me to cut off about six rows of crochet from each strap. That made it more reasonable. I zig-zagged the seam to make it less likely to unravel, but I […]

Who decides at 7pm to take a road trip to the beach for ice cream? We do!! It takes a little over an hour in the car. We park in Ocean Grove, walk down the boardwalk into Asbury Park, choose our flavors, sit on a bench and watch the ocean with our rapidly-melting treats, take […]

So I’m checking in so you see I am still alive, but I’m keeping it short and sweet because I’m too tired to string too many sentences together at this time […]
Read More: Here we go againAfter keeping myself awake until the wee hours of the morning last night, ideas swimming through my head, I finally broke down and made my first video blog.

I’ve been threatening to do this for at least three years, but I never got around to it until now. I guess the acquisition of Granny’s squares just pushed me over the proverbial edge. I’ve got this book on the way, I watched a few YouTube videos today, and then this evening I started Linda’s […]
Read More: Learning to crochetEarly this morning, after Neil got up to take his shower, Eamonn crawled into my bed and snuggled in. It was quiet, I was starting to fall asleep again, when a little voice next to me said dreamily, “I love the A and B buttons…” I opened my eyes and turned to look at him. […]
