With Service to Others
Carole gives is a challenging task for this week’s 10 on Tuesday: 10 Things You Can Do To Serve Others I spent some time yesterday pondering this and wanted to address this not from the things I am currently doing, but rather from the idea that there are things I...
What Would MLK Do
Today as a nation we remember MLK, and while for many it will just be a long weekend. I think we need to stop and remember what he wanted for this nation and it was not the divisiveness that somehow permeates our politics and our cities. If we all tried to be a little...
Friday "A-bombing"
https://youtu.be/Nck6BZga7TQ Let the weekend begin!!
Randomly Thursday
Winter finally arrived this week at Casa del KatKnits, with snow and bitterly cold temperatures. This put the urge to cook hot and hearty meals into overdrive! Baked Pumpkin Steel Cut Oats was first in the queue, perfect to give me a week’s worth of hearty and healthy...
Ready and Waiting
Another Star in the Sky
Carole set a task for us this week to share 10 Favorite David Bowie Songs: Wow, this was hard for me, because, I was not the biggest David Bowie fan. However, in Googling him, I found this wonderful and prophetic quote: I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I...
Filling the Gift Basket
I was a happy participant in the craziness that was #12DaysofCastingOn2015 with Natural Stitches. Twelve projects started in twelve days. I even have some of them done! One pair has already been gifted to a very dear friend who has horribly, painful arthritis in her...
The View From Here
Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. ~ George Washington Carver No woods here, but sunrise through the droplets of water was particularly beautiful today, as was the garden wearing strings of water pearls... May your weekend be...
Ah, Sweet Mystery
It is January and Christmas is all put away, the “winter season” of television has not yet started, the days in much of the Northern Hemisphere are dark and gloomy. Not much to look forward to. Unless you are a knitter… Because January brings us Through The Loops...
A Meal in a Squash
Some months ago, as the local farmer’s market was winding down and autumn vegetables were abundant, we got quite a few acorn squash which have been waiting patiently in my cold cellar for their moment to shine. The weather has not cooperated, but it got very cold this...
Short in stature
But big on taste! I have had little to no success with "tender" breads, outside of rolls, but when I saw this recipe in the Sunday Recipe Roundup I decided to give it a try. What it lacks in stature does not hinder the taste or texture. Bonus in that I know where my...
More or Less
Welcome to the first Tuesday of 2016! New Year, New 10 on Tuesday! Carole has given us the lovely task this week to share the following: List 5 things you want to do less in the new year and 5 things you want to do more I spent a great deal of time thinking about my...
Christmastide Knitting
Apparently, last-minute rushed decisions create the perfect storm for the flurry of projects that I started for Natural Stitches 12 Days of Casting On. And storm is the correct analogy – I have some finished projects, a flood of WIP’s, and a couple of swatches for a...
Annus Mirabilis
Welcome to 2016, Gentle Reader, one I hope will be truly a remarkable year! But, New Year – new you? I hope not so much, I spent much of last year trying to improve me. I wanted to learn more and do more. And, I think I did fairly well. 2015 saw me become a student of...
On the Precipice of Something Good
I hope as you all reflect on what 2015 brought you and ponder what 2016 holds for you, may this be your guide: I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living,...
December To Remember
On a day for remembering all that was good about the past year, December had so many good things on that list! May you have a safe and happy New Years Eve!
Dear Mother Nature
A gentle reminder, it is December not April!
Happy, Fulfilled, and Proud
Carole has me reviewing my year to determine the following: 10 Things You Did in 2015 That Made You Feel Proud Wow, this one is a bit of a challenge! I am certainly proud of my new granddaughter, Genevieve – but she is not something I did. I am also proud of my...
