Good evening! I meant to get this posted this morning, but things don’t always go the way we plan. I hope this post is worth the wait! One thing I like about crochet is that if you’re doing a small project it can go by pretty fast. I’m currently working on a whole mess of […]

Stocking Throw Back
These are some stockings I made 2-3 years ago. We have an older set my aunt crocheted with our initials on them that we’ve used for years, but as my sister and I got older I thought it might be nice if we had a family set that with stockings my sister and I could […]
A Colorwork Conundrum
Pictured are a pair of colorwork fingerless gloves I made some years ago. At the time I was working at an office building and I noticed that sitting next to the window in the winter things got a little chilly in my cubicle. I decided to knit myself some light fingerless gloves as they would […]
Baking Shows: the Sweet and the Sour
With the coming of the season comes season themed baking shows, and I’m a sucker for a good baking competition. I really enjoy the holiday baking shows, mostly because I can watch and drool over all the fantastic desserts the bakers create. I have been guilty of watching the show late in the evening a […]
It’s Officially Sweater Weather Season
I want to knit a sweater. I don’t know what kind of sweater, but a burning desire to make a sweater of some kind has struck, and being confronted with a new obsession has made my old concerns look small. Yes, I have only knit flat pieces before. Yes, I will need to take my […]
Pumpkin Pie, My Oh My
Fall is probably my favorite season. I like the weather: warm without being unbearably hot, cool without being middle of the winter cold. I like the food: hearty soups and stews, warm breads, and apple pie. I like the colors as the leaves turn: bright yellow, rusty read and deep orange. I’ve talked a little […]
Mid-Month Middle Earth 2
The photo for the post is having technical issues, we hope to have it up by the end of the day. *Edit, the photo is up!* We’re back with my cross stitch project, the map of Middle Earth! I’ve started the actual stitching and I live in perpetual fear that I will have missed 1 […]
Pumpkin Problems
I can admit I have a pumpkin problem. I like just about everything about pumpkins. I like their colors, I like the shape of them, I like the way they taste either baked into a sweet or savory dish. Heck, I like the way they feel when you hold them, the smooth skin and hefty […]
Sock Drawer Secret
So I’m going to start this post with a confession: I have never knit socks before. I have wanted to knit socks before; thought about knitting socks, looked at patterns for knitting socks, drooled over sock yarn and even bought a few skeins. Those skeins are currently sitting on top of my yarn stash, a […]
First Friday Fiction: Shadow on a Street Corner
I know we’re in November now but yesterday was just Halloween so I decided to pull out one of my short stories that is just a little bit spooky. I find a lot of inspiration for short stories in every day life, a sensation, action or visual sparking an idea for a character or scenario. […]
