I’m slowly making over my kitchen. Very slowly, and kind of subtly: I’m not thinking paint or new cabinets as much as I’m thinking a change in linens. I have plans to replace the napkins, the table runner, and my apron. I’d like to recover the chair cushions and change out the window valence, too, at […]

I’ve been wanting to give you a progress report on Eamonn’s blanket for a few weeks now. I would take a picture of the blanket, but then I wouldn’t have time to blog, and by the time I sat down to do it, I’d have more progress to show. So I’d wait until I had […]

It’s happening, folks. Spring, that is. I don’t know what winter was like where you live, but around here it was odd. Odd in a way that very much made up for the previous two years’ exceedingly frigid and snowy winters. Odd in a way that for the first time since I have been blogging, […]

And I’ve also shown you how it can go from clean and lovely to total disaster area in a relatively short time span. Despite all appearances to the contrary, I do actually prefer for my dining room to be neat and […]

I think my 365 Project is doing a better job of representing how I spend my days this year than it has in previous years. Maybe it’s because I’m not focusing on a particular theme this time around, and just shooting what I’m doing. I realized this when I sat down to process several day’s […]

I am happy to report that the Afghan Cane tutorial is complete! It took dozens of photos, and fourteen PDF pages, but it’s finally done and ready for you in the download shop. The afghan is an intermediate level cane. It takes advantage of several partial blends and uses them in a non-traditional way, allowing […]

After gushing so excitedly about granny squares and clay last weekend, you’d think I’d have gone millefiori crazy, made a small pile of afghan canes, written up a fabulous tutorial, put it up for sale in the download shop, and then hopped up and down yelling, “go check it out! you’ll love it! you’ll learn […]

It got me. The disease known as Granny Square Brain has got me, and it won’t let go. This is one of those disorders that keeps you awake at night, thinking about color schemes. If you want to get any sleep at all, the only option is to just give in to the fever for […]
