And it’s Done

It’s done! Assembly began to get messy, I’ll admit it. I thought about all the ways I could attach the strap, but by the time I got to it, all I had the energy for was to tie it on with a whole lot of crazy knots. To hide it all, and give it aContinue reading “And it’s Done”

Good Morning

Well, I stayed up late crocheting the hood for my middle one’s sweater. I was really on a roll and am anxious to get it done. I also managed to get the purse mostly done. It’s a little rough on the inside, so I’m crocheting a liner to sew in and hide all that. WhileContinue reading “Good Morning”

Three Granny Squares: Progress is Tough

The farther along I make it with these sweaters, the less time I have to work on them. It’s one thing for the kids to see the squares as I make them. It’s another when I’m stitching them together and it’s starting to look like an actual piece of clothing. So I’ve got some lateContinue reading “Three Granny Squares: Progress is Tough”

I Like Christmas?

I’m actually really getting into the Christmas Spirit this year. It’s quite a shock. The holiday is usually so overwhelming, I tend to turn into a short-tempered grump. Not this year. All the decorations were up the day after Thanksgiving. Unheard of! My husband even put up some extra lights around the house. We’ve doneContinue reading “I Like Christmas?”

A Little Spice

I don’t mess with my morning coffee. Medium strength coffee with some French vanilla creamer and I’m a happy girl. Afternoon coffee, however, is a different story. Since buying a coffee grinder and a frother, I have begun experimenting a bit more. This one is for the Christmas season. I use my oatmeal cookie oatContinue reading “A Little Spice”

Quick Granny Squares, hahahahaha

I’ll just make a bunch of squares for each kid and then simply sew them up and be done. They’ll be really cool, simple, and quick. Riiiiiight. Of course I can’t just make them something with a simple design. I can’t just follow someone’s pattern. Nope. I’ve got to play around with how to fitContinue reading “Quick Granny Squares, hahahahaha”

Quick Hats and Goofy Kids

It all started with me buying yarn to cope with grocery shopping. It was a big stressful trip and the yarn made it much easier to get through. I swear. It was chunky, and a deep purple, with flecks of just the right bits of white and brown. Such a comforting deep plum purple. I’llContinue reading “Quick Hats and Goofy Kids”

What’s For Dinner?

Ah, breakfast. It’s my favorite meal any time of day. Naturally, scrambled eggs are one of my go to’s, but I do enjoy pancakes. I just hate cooking them one at a time, or a couple of small ones a batch. Then keeping them warm in the oven, while starting the next round. So IContinue reading “What’s For Dinner?”

Puzzles

When I was a kid we almost always had a puzzle set up somewhere for us all to work on. Some puzzles would take weeks or months for us to finish. One year, when my parents were still together, they gave me a box set of Thomas Kincaid jigsaw puzzles. I was pretty excited andContinue reading “Puzzles”
