a new year
I love the New Year. Just like springtime, it's a chance for a new beginning, a re-newal of some sort, when all things seem possible. Like hitting a personal re-start button. I love that feeling...the feeling of a fresh start.... Continue reading

"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies." ~ author unknown
My family has experienced some devastating blows recently. I don't want to elaborate in this space -- my readers have dwindled to mostly friends and family so most of you know the details anyhow -- but I felt the need... Continue reading

Molly's cuddle bunny
Hooray! I finally finished a crochet project! Last week I finished up the Eco-bunny blanket from LionBrand's free patterns list. I can't technically call it an Eco-bunny because I didn't use LionBrand's Recycled cotton yarn that the pattern called for so I've named it Molly's cuddle bunny instea...

KCWC :: Fall 2012
I haven't accomplished as much as I had planned for this season's KCWC -- you know how these things go. I did, however, manage to finish up these Criss-Cross Tunics from Whimsy Couture that I began sewing over the summer. It's a shame that the weather here has turned chilly but I think they'd b...

yarn along
Joining Ginny today for Yarn Along. I haven't read a book in what seems like forever. I've been too lazy to go to the library and too cheap to buy anything. At least I have my Country Living subscription, it comes straight to the house and is already paid for. I just received my October issue,...
