I currently have 4 WIPs, although I intend to finish my shlanket tonight. (Find out more and get the link to the free pattern here.) I've saved this project for watching TV because it's easy and relaxing. It's been fun to knit because the colors are always changing. My little one loves it too and… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Almost Finished

WIP Wednesday- Honolulu Top
Maybe it was the reference to Hawaii that caught me. If you can't be in Honolulu, you can at least knit yourself a top bearing the same name. See that woman in the picture? By the end of the summer that will be me... windswept hair, walking along the beach (granted it will be the… Continue reading WIP Wednesday- Honolulu Top

WIP Wednesday: Beach Knitting
Recently water levels have been low as a result of the drought, so we were relieved when the rain returned on Saturday. While shopping for Father's Day presents in town last weekend, I popped into the local yarn shop. The bad weather finally gave me an excuse to pick up my knitting needles and take… Continue reading WIP Wednesday: Beach Knitting
WIP Wednesday
Have you been working on any craft projects during the quarantine? I've struggled to complete my sock project because it requires concentration and I'm constantly interrupted. I miss going to the Crafty Collective! At any rate, I'm nearly finished with the second sock. More about that next time. Monday May 18th some restrictions were lifted… Continue reading WIP Wednesday

My mechanic made clear that it's more expensive to fix my old car… Continue reading One Lonely Shopper in a Deserted City

Right on cue I received an invitation to join the Crafty Collective, a new group forming in my local community. A friend of mine has decided to open her studio space in town 2 evenings… Continue reading Crafty Collective
Day One #Manifest20: Create
Choose one word which you would like to embody during 2020 as a sort of theme for the year. How would you like to see this word manifest in your life? Create is my word for 2020. Over the last few months I've devoted more time to my creativity and it has brought me a… Continue reading Day One #Manifest20: Create
Prematurity Awareness Month
As Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I thought it's a good time to start posting about gratitude. November is also Prematurity Awareness Month. Today (and every day) I am thankful for the preemie in my life. A Facebook memory popped up this morning with a photograph of Blessing at 6 months. I thought I'd… Continue reading Prematurity Awareness Month
Handmade with Love
Recently I wrote about my goal of making handmade Christmas gifts for my family. It hasn't been without setbacks, as mentioned in Coming Unstitched. At the best of times I find it hard to complete projects, but I'm determined to change. I'm using an easy pattern and started with the smallest hat first (for my… Continue reading Handmade with Love
