It’s raining. Pretty hard. What a great morning to sit by an open window with a quilt on your lap, eating the last of the blueberry pound cake, and sipping vanilla coffee. I’ll have to imagine that coffee part, since we’re all out of milk and I just can’t bring myself to drink it black. […]

How many ways can you use a handcrafted button? As you can see, I’ve come up with a few ways over the last couple of years. Now it’s your turn – and there’s a prize involved. Interested? I have invited a diverse group of five people with talent in knitting, crocheting, sewing, and general craftiness […]

Saturday I sat down with my little bowl of buttons, and began to organize them by color and pattern. There is something strangely appealing about this activity for me. Seriously, I could probably re-arrange and re-organize them all day long and not get bored. But then, I’m weird that way. I had them out so […]

As promised, I updated the shop this morning… My toasty ears can attest to the coziness and warmth of these hats. (And my frozen toes can attest to my dedication in photographing the hats in their natural, snow-covered environment.) See how they brighten up a gloomy-looking day? It’s that beautiful, vibrant, and soft wool from […]

I finished my little neckwarmer project. And, wow, was it ever a quick knit! I nearly completed the whole thing while watching TV last night. I should really call this my “Stargate Atlantis Series Finale Scarf” but I think I’ll stick to the simpler “Malabrigo Neckwarmer.” The Details Pattern: Cashmere Neckwarmer by Kim (on Ravelry) […]

Everybody knows I needed another social network in my life, so it shouldn’t come as a suprise that I went and joined Ravelry this week. For the non-yarn-afflicted out there, Ravelry is kind of like Big Database of Yarns, Patterns, and Finished Projects meets Flickr. Members share images of their yarn stash, their works in […]

Thank you for all of the nice comments on the projects I’ve posted about recently! I’ve wanted to reply to them all, but I’ve hardly been online today. I spent much of my time buried under buttons. Making buttons, baking buttons, drilling holes in buttons… Arranging buttons prettily in Lenox bowls. You know, important stuff. […]

Oooh, what a lovely day it has been today! I haven’t spent a whole lot of time on the computer, but what I have spent, has been very good for the ego – holy cow, people! Those buttons I showed weren’t even finished yet, and I’ve gotten so many complements here, and on flickr, and […]

I got this new book the other day – The Pillow Book by Shannon Okey – with the idea of making throw pillows for my bedroom. I’ve flipped through it a few times before, but today I actually decided I wanted to try one of the projects. This button-enclosed pillow would be cool with some […]

One of my oldest friends is having a birthday party for her 6-year-old at the bowling alley tomorrow, and of course the first thing I thought was “I have a skirt for that!” I made my skirt back in August, but I haven’t actually been bowling in many many years. I even made a couple […]
