We are finally coming out of the Month of Sick.  Last week was Spring Break, and at the beginning of it I was wondering “how am I ever going to make it through this week?”  I could not see past my own misery and sickness.  Illness in the lungs = not fun.

But I made it [...]

A very dear friend from high school is about to have her first baby.  I am so excited and happy for her.  Wanting to send a little handmade love her way, I decided to knit a hat for the baby and sew a sling for her.

Here’s the sling I made.  I really hope that it [...]

I recently cast on a new summer sweater for The Girl.  It’s the Eyelet Yoke Cardigan by Lion Brand Yarn.  I actually found enough Rowan All Seasons Cotton in the stash I picked up at the thrift shop a few months back.  The yarn feels really great and knits up like a dream.  Three cheers [...]

Whew!  I try not to be one of those people that gets carried away with the hectic-ness of the holidays, and I think I did really well with setting limits and not taking on too much, but I feel like I haven’t stopped moving since I started sewing Halloween costumes in September!  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, [...]

Remember that day I went in search for shelves for my fabric stash and came home with a ton of yarn?  Well, the score somehow made my storage problem worse, not better, and I have been scouring the thrifts ever since.  Believe me, the irony of that is not lost on me.

Last Thursday I finally [...]

Ahhh.  Fall has finally arrived.  Just when I thought I couldn’t take it any more, I woke up one day, and it was cool outside.  I’m sure that Fall with have many false starts, that’s just how it works down here. But for now, I am relishing it.  It’s so nice to have the house [...]

After spending The Boy’s first few weeks of school being very productive, I decided that I needed to slow down and start taking care of myself; something I have been neglecting these past five years.  I feel like my life has been on fast-forward, especially these past two years, and I have been having a [...]

We had a lovely rainy Saturday.  After The Girl and I had a nap, I decided to head over to the Goodwill to look for some desperately needed clothes, and some new shelves for my fabric stash.  I did not find any clothes or shelves, but I did stumble upon the mother lode of yarn [...]

The second week of school is over, and it was exhausting.  After The Boy got lost three times at school, he was reassigned to a new teacher.  I love her.  She is amazing, and perfect for my Boy.
So I spent the first few weeks of school running around like a crazy person, getting stuff done, [...]

I’ve been really tired in the evenings lately, and that means less time spent sewing and more time sitting on the couch and knitting.  I’m feeling a little burned out on socks right now, and who wants to knit with wool when it’s so hot outside?  So I decided to start a fall sweater for [...]
