How odd it is to find myself not cooking the night before Thanksgiving!
With packing for the move well under way there are not enough unpacked dishes in which to cook, not enough remaining dishes to serve and no where to sit and eat since the dining room has been converted to a packing station. My [...]

This blog has been ignored for real life activities for almost a month! I was sure it had only been a couple of weeks…
What on earth have I been doing that prevented me from saying something?
Let’s see…
1. Restored laundry room to ivory (shea butter if you’re fancy) from lipstick red.
It took a couple of coats [...]

OH MY GOSH, Yarnside Gathering is fabulous! The owner, Molly, and her two doggies are as nice as can be. Having just opened in October of last year, the shop is so fresh, super clean & well organized. And refreshingly well stocked. I was so excited to find some unique yarns I had never seen [...]

We are on Spring Break in Fla.
Today is rainy, so we drove to Destin and while they went to a surf shop I returned to Unwind, a super small shop. In spite of the very limited selection of yarn and extremely limited selection of sock yarn (other than Tofusties), I was able to find two [...]

Started new sock from stashed yarn:
2mm Brittany birch needles
cast on 56
The colors are spectacular! Deep & rich.

Finished the Die Hard Socks, for me…
Finished the first of the Cotton Candy socks…
Sock-Ease…meh.
When I returned to my work on the second sock I had just the three yellow Pony needles live with stitches. The fourth needle has disappeared into the ethers of the house or car. I have checked cushions up & downstairs to [...]

Our back porch is visible from one neighbor’s house. What must they think if they see us on the porch at 7am in our jammies taking pics of socks?
I may get the trellis out & grow some morning glory or ivy. On the other hand I may choose to not care. Living out loud, honestly, [...]

My Mom’s new phone needed a pretty, protective case…
Yarn: Patons SWS Natural Geranium
Hook: Clover J
SWS may be the perfect yarn for a cozy as it is silky to the touch yet firm & sturdy. It is also feltable!

Done! Over the weekend He began using a scrap (a malformed, felted Patons “That’s Pink!”sunglass case, which is destined to be completely felted & cut to a coaster.) for his new iphone cozy.
Because I could not have my reputation in Buffalo & in the formerly friendly skies besmirched by said scrap I set to work [...]
