I’m checking in from the Clayathon. I made it here in one piece yesterday afternoon, and after about an hour of dithering about, wondering what I should make first, I dove into shawl pins, buttons, and barrettes in two patterns: Grayscale Weave and Swamp Weave. (Those are the barrettes up there. The green one got […]

I’m not always on the ball teacher-gift-wise, but this year, I managed to get it done with a little help from the kids. Erin’s coffee cup cozy tutorial is something I’ve been eyeing since she posted it last year, and I finally decided to try it, when I realized that it’s a perfect project for […]

It’s not that it’s too terribly cold out there, but it it’s raining. It’s raining on top of snow. And while I had the good sense to tunnel through the junk in the hall closet and dig out the boys’ winter boots, my enthusiasm for the project didn’t extend to unearthing my own boots. Instead […]

The snow fell yesterday, most of the afternoon in big fluffy flakes. I often say how much I dislike snow, but the truth is that the objectionable part of a snowfall, to me, is its aftermath – the shoveling of it, the driving in it, the trudging through it. The actual snowfall itself is something […]

It has been a whirlwind ornament-making extravaganza over here. I started the first batch of four before Thanksgiving, and for the last two days have been working on the second batch of four. I now have eight very hairy ornaments in need of a trim, and some facial features. They should be all spruced up […]

Ok, technically, the one that’s for me isn’t even for me to keep – it’s for my MIL, and it’s part of her birthday gift. I went back to my trusty little blue Knifty Knitter loom this week and made my very favorite neckwarmer pattern: Cashmere Neckwarmer [the only link I can find is to […]

Who knew that the key to getting a good conversation started around here was to talk about breakfast? I’ll keep that in mind for the next slow spell. Heh. And I guess, based on what you’re all saying, that my oatmeal-trying days can’t be over until I’ve given the steel-cut type a chance. Ok. Twist […]

If I wasn’t so full right now from my take-out supper, I’d be curled up in my pj’s sipping a cup of vanilla coffee as I write this. Actually, I’m too full for the coffee, but not for the pj’s. Hm. Hang on a moment while I go change… There. That’s much better. So, ready […]

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 […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about pillowcase dresses. I’ve made two before, and enjoyed the process. My main problem is not having all that many little girls in my life to give them to. There’s always sewing for charity and for gifts, and I’ve done both, but there’s also the idea that maybe I could […]
