A little dirt therapy

A little dirt therapy

It has been a crazy week here at Casa del KatKnits and the weeks end found me needing more than a little therapy.

I found it in the dirt.

Potting soil, that is.

My garden is all set to grow, I have sprinkled a little fertilizer, baptized them all with a goodly sum of water, and they are now soaking up the sun.

Now I am off to scrub under my finger nails… and a much needed fresh start to a new week.

In Celebration of Recycling

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.

Mother's Day Monday

Mother's Day Monday

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.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

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!
