Dusting Off Closet Skeletons

Well, I’m reevaluating my life. My brother is a narcissist. It’s nice to have a word for it. For what my family has lived through. For what I have lived through. Over the last several years I have been establishing boundaries with my brother that were long overdue. He moved far enough away that phoneContinue reading “Dusting Off Closet Skeletons”

Nerding Out

I may have already mentioned it a few times, but I’m a huge fan of Wonder Woman. Hers were the first comics I ever owned and the only ones I still buy. I’m not the kind of comic buff that can cite issues or plot lines. I’m more about the history, the all-encompassing representation ofContinue reading “Nerding Out”

Cross Stitch Procrastination

I have found myself home alone and had the urge to work on my two page counted cross stitch project. I have no idea what I’ll do with it in the end, but at this rate, I’ll have plenty of time to figure it out. The amount of hours to get this far is crazy!Continue reading “Cross Stitch Procrastination”

Two Books Done

I finished rereading the first two books in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. It was like sliding back into a familiar skin. Each time I read, the written world opened up around me. I love the way she describes things. There is enough imagery to spark your own imagination and then she backsContinue reading “Two Books Done”

I Needed a Bag

I’ve started bringing my own supplies in for my second massage job. As I was packing everything up, I realized I don’t have a bag that really works for this task. So I decided to make one. Of course. I need something really durable and able to hold some weight easily. I have an ideaContinue reading “I Needed a Bag”

Bottom-of-the-Barrel Pasta

That’s what I’m calling tonight’s dinner. I haven’t done the grocery shopping yet. I had no plan in place. I’m tired. It’s raining. The sink is full of dishes, and we need to eat. I put water on the stove and set the oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Cut up the zucchini that was left fromContinue reading “Bottom-of-the-Barrel Pasta”

Color Motivation

I’ve got to find some better lighting for these pictures. The colors aren’t being captured quite right. However, I am enjoying the dark amethyst with the self-striping cotton. You can see the next color peeking through from under the white in the cotton ball- a sign of progress that is the perfect motivator. I didContinue reading “Color Motivation”

Summer Meals

Pasta salads are one of my favorite meals to have on hand during the warm season. Make a big batch and lunch or dinner is ready to go throughout the week. This is a Greek salad with feta, olives, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I did a big batch of chicken in the crockpot to useContinue reading “Summer Meals”

Progress So Far…

I’m enjoying the witchy vibe I’m getting from the mix of green and purple on this. Using two yarns has definitely given me the weight I’m looking for. And I keep checking the size, but it should be wide enough for what it will become. It’s very soft and a joy to knit. I’m veryContinue reading “Progress So Far…”

Another Design in the Works

I have reached a place with the Folded Grapes Sweater (I’m trying out different names for it) that my mind has space for a second project. Cue the graph paper! It’s messy and only a loose idea of what it became, but graphing it helps me visualize how everything sits together. Once I had thisContinue reading “Another Design in the Works”
