Welcome to My Blog
Here is a masonry blog layout with no sidebarSunday Reflection, November 12
Today's reflection is all about yesterday. It was a most wonderful day. First, we walked where we rarely walk. We visited Indie Knit and Spin where I met Knit/Wit and Rainbow. We walked more along the North Shore and stopped to appreciate memorials and remember those...
Simply Saturday, November 11
My November Guest My sorrow, when she’s here with me, Thinks these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be; She loves the bare, the withered tree; She walks the sodden pasture lane. Her pleasure will not let me stay. She talks and I am fain to list:...
Fiber Friday, November 10
If you recall, I had a good long discussion of this sweater with Mary in which we spent a bit of time doing some knitty maths to determine how to place the pattern on the sweater (since the stitch count did not match the stranded knitting chart). And, so I counted...
Three on Thursday, November 9
It is sometimes hard to believe that it has only been a year since this nightmare began. Yes, that's right a year ago today (I know it seems like an eternity!!) However, this week I began to see a silver lining! In fact, a big old pink sparkly silver lining! Handknit...
Unraveled Wednesday, November 8
Greetings, Unravelers! I find myself immersed in "Deep Sweater Season" and happily so! I am about two and a half inches from joining the second sleeve with the body to continue with the yoke of Rusty and visions of my next sweater are dancing in my head! These are the...
October Stitching
I should be writing today's blog post, but I got completely sidetracked reading this Twitter Moment. The comments are seriously awesome…but, back to the post: I was rudely reminded over the weekend that grey, rainy days are the bane of photographers everywhere. So,...
Sometimes Monday, November 6
…are full of gratitude! The weekend was so full of so many good things. Thankfully the rain held off until late in the day so there was lots of out-door time. The gardens were put to bed. And, the extra hour was used for reading! Sunday's torrential downpours did not...
Sunday Reflection, November 5
My plan for Sunday's is to help us all do a little bit of reflection on something good from the past week. After all, the news is filled with so much bad, sad, make you mad nonsense… but if you look for it, there just might be a ray of sunshine out there, like this...
Simply Saturday, November 4
November brings a change of schedule to our house; not only the time change (which you should remember to do tonight when you go to bed!) but our Saturday schedule changes dramatically. No more local farmers market and inclement weather makes walking questionable as...
Fiber Friday, November 3
There was some knitting time this week, but it was brief. I love how that works, some weeks I manage to organize my day and give myself quality knitting time… this was not one of those weeks. Perhaps it was because I did not have any list at all to start out this...
Three on Thursday, November 2
Day Two of NaBloPoMo and so far, SO GOOD! I know, it is laughable and I am joking but, I hope that in this joke you also see how easy and fun NaBloPoMo is! So, now on to my things…. Thing One: November stitching… So, what does it mean if you dream in stitching? I...
Unraveled Wednesday, November 1
You all have no idea how hard it is to turn the calendar page this month. I am really not ready for this year to be over, but despite my best efforts it is speeding by at what feels like warp speed. But, here we go, and this morning kicks off NaBloPoMo and I am ready...
NaBloPoMo Eve
I have just one question: Will you join me or not? In an attempt to help make this something that is fun!! (Really!! Blogging is fun!) I am going to share with you my game plan for NaBloPoMo success! This will be my third year in a row of being an active participant...
Weekending, October 30
The weekend weather made any outside activities a bust (unless you love it cold, windy, and rainy…) but we made it the perfect interior weekend despite the exterior conditions! Saturday morning, we made our final visit of the season to our favorite farmer who will be...
A Frosty Friday
The temperatures dipped into the frosty range last night, but today we are supposed to get up into the 70's. This pairs with splotches of color finally showing up on the trees in my neighborhood! And despite this chilly start, I am so happy for the weekend to be here!...
Three on Thursday, October 26
So many things, so little time! And, this week picking just three things is going to be a challenge! Thing One: The weather has changed here this week to a much cooler sort. And, not in a bad way at all because this has stirred the urge for more fall like foods....
Unraveled Wednesday, October 25
No unraveling here, but there has been lots of knitting. I am somehow speed-knitting along on Rusty – there is something so meditative about knitting in the round. It is doubly pleasurable when paired with an excellent audiobook! This is not travel knitting though...
Vacation Memories
I took so many photos while we were on vacation, and while a good number of them were taken with my phone – I did take a quite a few with the "big camera". Here are my big camera vacation memories. (With a few iPhone photos interspersed!) I hope you enjoy! [video...
