I worked so desperately hard to finish this before I go on vacation. As usual, I don’t love how it looks on me. Funny I took the time at 9am to put on the right earrings to wear with it for the photo but the pants are all wrong!
When will I learn to stop trying...

painting and knitting and quilting?
I’ve been a painting fool. The last of the wallpaper is gone from my house..and so is the baby blue carpeting! Photos to follow..
Been knitting trying to make something in time for the summer. I’m trying (again) to make a garment for myself. In the past, I’m better making things that are not size specific...
What is with this weather?
In all my life, this year has to be the wackiest weather I can remember. This past weekend we received over 4 inches of rain in about 24 hours with crazy winds. We are lucky that we have NOT lost power nor suffered any property damage but there are many outages in the area. Yesterday...
Homemade Holiday Gifts
(Pardon all the iphone pix - it is only 8am on a Sunday morning!)
I’m busy making gifts for the holidays. I have to share a gripe though. All those beautiful special magazines that come out in late November/December with patterns of homemade gifts are published too late! It just makes us panic and feel inadequate...
justifying new yarn purchases

So, my favorite festival of...
February Finishes
A special gift for a special friend. Why all my crafty friends have to live so far away, I don’t know! Ravelry links for hat and sweater. I did not love the pattern and the yarn was kind of splity. I should have known that 100% would not have any elasticity to it, which I...
A Big Finish
I finished this blanket with plenty time to spare. It was to be a birthday gift for dd but I couldn’t wait until then. She loves it. All snuggled up in bed. Makes my heart sing.
Praise the Lord!
I am one happy camper today. I received the results from surgery and all is good
So happy Earth Day. I’m going to go get drunk now.
Oh but first, another finish. Another pair of Monkey Socks
Still Waiting
I survived surgery. Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I went from baby to stoic in a matter of minutes throughout the day. Still waiting on results as Dr. is on vacation (dont you just hate that?!) but I’m staying super-positive that all is normal.
This week is Spring break which means I’m home alone...
Life is nutty
So my house is for sale and it’s a pain in the ass to keep it clean all the time. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a neat freak, but the cat and dog fur and dust bunnies are giving me a run for my money. We’re going to be in the NYTimes (TBD when)...
