I read this meme on Janey’s Blog and as there has been little content here recently I thought I’d “recycle” this here, and while I know it is not Monday the encouragement to recycle is a good reminder any day!
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
~Walt Whitman
Do you recycle?
Religiously and have for years. I am fortunate to live in a place that offers curbside recycling. The small price I pay monthly for the privilege to do so is, I believe, part of my responsibility in being a good steward of this planet I live on.

After a week of Tulip Time Hell, having the breakfast with the Sunshine’s of my life on Sunday was the most amazing ending to one very long week.
I leave you with a bit of the sunshine they left in my life for the week.
Thank you Heidi and Sam, I love you both so much!

Tulip Festival is looming here in Holland, Michigan. However, the tulips are waning….these beauties will be done soon.
Hope spring is equally as beautiful in your neck of the woods.

First, there was a bit of dyeing.
Then there was a little re-skeining.
Finally yesterday, with the help of my incredibly talented friend, AsKatKnits Studios was born!
Today AsKatKnits Studios is open for business.
Please feel free to go look around a bit. I will be adding more yarns and fibers in the upcoming days.
I would like to thank StevoFC for all his help yesterday! Your attention to detail, your drive for perfection, and your willingness to drop everything to help a friend is humbling.
Gentle Readers, if ever you need any web design work, I would highly recommend him!
Thanks, Steve!

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you. – Billy Joel
Last week was ripe with scandal in both the banking industry and on Wall Street, first came the announcement that failed Washington Mutual (WAMU) seemingly perfected the art of Fraudulent Lending and close on its heels was the S.E.C. suing Goldman Sachs due to their Mortgage Backed Securities of Doom.
I believe that this is but the tip of the iceberg and that we will see many other firms joining WAMU and Goldman in this ongoing debacle.
Honesty, apparently, is obsolete in today’s world.
Who knew?
