I love gardening. Caring for plants has had a very wonderful effect on my soul. God has used many many of my gardening experiences as spiritual examples for me to learn from. Every time I see a delicate flower, watch a butterfuly land on a pretty flower petal, or watch... Continue reading

Knitting is my first love, sewing is my second. Back when I was 11 & 12 I was obsessed with sewing and attempted making my own clothes. I wore some that were successful, but most were so handmade looking that they stayed in my closet until I recycled the fabric... Continue reading

After years of knitting in uncomfortable chairs, I finally started looking for a good knitting chair. I knew it needed to be soft, fluffy, and big enough to hold me and Mollie (my faithful knitting companion). I searched all over and finally decided on a papasan chair from Pier 1....
