From me, anyway. I’d gotten really board with all that stockinette. What am I talking about? Why, Aidan’s sweater, of course. Four months after I started it, I am done. DONE! Last night, before I went to bed, I folded up the sweater neatly and left it as a surprise on the corner of his […]

It’s time.
I’ve been staring at this mess for a few months now, periodically shoving aside enough things to make a work space, but never actually putting anything away. The only thing that stresses me out more than looking at that mess is the thought of cleaning it up. Which is why it stays there, and I […]

…much of the hoopla over SOPA and PIPA. If you have not, I encourage you to watch this video for a plain-english explanation of the damage this bill could do to the internet as we know it. If you don’t see the embedded video below, please click through here to view it. I promise the […]

I am home. Yay! I had a great time, claying it up at the ‘thon as usual, but I am glad to be home. We moved to a new hotel this year, and while the work room was much improved over previous years (so spacious!) the hotel itself was on the creepy side. Apart from […]

I’m at the Clayathon right now, taking a quick break from the polymer. I’ve already made a nice little pile of things, and as soon as they are sanded and buffed, I’ll be sure to give you a peek. For now, how about a completed knitting project? I just loved Eamonn’s Irish Hiking Hat so […]

Thank you for ordering crochet hooks this week! I’m closing up the shop in a matter of minutes, and then I’m ordering my supplies and taking them down south to the Clayathon. I can hardly wait for the weekend to begin. I’ve got several things I want to work on, mainly your hook orders and […]

Ok, who wants to help me be a little less winter-fashion-inept? I am reasonably comfortable dressing myself in the warmer months, or pulling together an outfit around a pair of jeans, but in the winter, anything not jeans-based throws me for a loop. I always end up feeling like I’ve chosen the wrong footwear and […]

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 […]
Read More: Some for me, some for you?Changing of the guard
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 […]
