But aren’t these guys just the cutest? I have spent the last week doing a lot of pattern repetitions, and I am still on the long slog of making my second sock with no real progress (other than the sock is a little longer). The one new thing I have to show is that I […]

First Friday Fiction: A Curated Image
This is not the short story I intended to post for August. I had another one written up and was mid-edit when this story popped into my head two days ago and refused to let go. I’ve been rushing to finish writing the short story and edit it, so I apologize if it is a […]
We’re going to need a bigger bag (It’s Shark Week!)
As we are in shark week month (coming up on the tail end of shark week itself) I decided to make some crochet sharks. At first I went looking for some free shark patterns, and I even found some really cute ones (links at the end of the post) but none of them were what […]
Put it in a pudding: a loving look at custard-soaked bread
I like bread pudding. A Lot. There is nothing so wonderful as taking old, dry, stale bread and turning it into a decadent, custardy dessert. This is one of the reasons why french toast is such a wonderful breakfast food, especially when it’s done right with dry bread so that the egg soak can be […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 10
I live! We have family coming in to stay for a month so we have been cleaning and organizing the house for the last two weeks. Now that things are as clean as they are going to get, I have some more free time. Most of the free time not spent cleaning was spent working […]
First Friday Fiction: A Basking Day
I hope you all had a wonderful fourth of July for those Americans who celebrate. With the weather we’ve been having (hot and humid, a killer combination) I’ve been longing to spend time in the water. Since I haven’t had the chance to, at least more than the usual shower, I’ve decided to write about […]
When you wish upon a star bread
There comes a time when you look into your fridge and go “I got to get rid of some of this stuff.” While I was going through the fridge I stumbled upon a chunk of parmesan cheese bought weeks before for something – pizza or a pasta bake of some kind- and which was now […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 9
I wish I had a better update for you, however I’ve barely gotten more than 20 minutes worked on this piece over the last month. I’ve started on my third color for this section and we’re finally adding a little bit of color to all the black / very dark blue. Not that you can […]
First Friday Fiction: Calling Out to the Great Unknown
I have come shuffling in ten minutes late, but I will say that I had this post written up before midnight on Friday, so it counts as a Friday Fiction more than the last post I made. If I’m honest I wish I had more time to polish just about everything about this post. I’ll […]
Sock it to Me: The Heel Turns
May was one of the rare months where we got five weeks instead of four, so here’s a quick update on the socks I have been making: I have passed the heel! I would be even further along, however I made a mess when first knitting the back of the heal. I am going to […]
