Life in a Nutshell

Today was a day. I wouldn’t say it was a bad day. More like just a perfect summary of my life at the moment. Our car has needed a lot of repairs recently. It did this crazy scary limp mode thing, which basically cuts your ability to do anything but limp along. I live inContinue reading “Life in a Nutshell”

Back to Knitting

I’m taking a pause from the crochet sweater because, surprise!, I need more yarn. I mean, I have yarn, but not what I need. It’s fine. I have three knitting projects that need to get done, or at least make some real progress on, so I can start something new. This beauty has been withContinue reading “Back to Knitting”

Halfway There

Two more books done and I can’t believe I’m only halfway through the series. So much happens in such a short span of time. In Discover the Destroyer we finally get David’s perspective. The big hero and default leader of the unlikely group of teens. Be-spelled by the witch who dragged them along for herContinue reading “Halfway There”

Coffee and Mystery

One can never go wrong with a good cup of coffee. Even a bad cup will do in a pinch. I read another Anita Blake novel before getting to my regular kind of murder mystery. There wasn’t much talk of coffee in Narcissus in Chains, but it was soothing all the same (in a high-action,Continue reading “Coffee and Mystery”

It’s Working!!!

This is a project I am completely winging. I started some granny squares years ago and just started making some more about a week ago. Just some really basic squares with fun colors. My husband helped with the design idea. When he’s up for it, he’s got some great ones that I then finagle intoContinue reading “It’s Working!!!”

The Last 100 Pages

What a balm to my soul this book was after ACOTR. The “tough as nails vampire hunter” with a heart is my cup of coffee. Plus, Edward is a star in this one and their friendship is one of my favorite fictional relationships. I’ll admit, I’m not into the club scenes, but they serve theirContinue reading “The Last 100 Pages”

Three More For May

I don’t think I’m going to read three of the same in a row again. I love this series, but I really just wanted to be done, to take a break, about halfway through book four. They’re short books, so I figured reading three would be like reading one. It is not. Each one hasContinue reading “Three More For May”

Basic Granny’s

I started making these Granny Squares a long time ago and I guess I’m finally in the mood to keep going. I think I want to make some kind of cardigan, but I’m just not sure how I want it to come together. Ideas are floating around, but right now I’m just having fun makingContinue reading “Basic Granny’s”

Another Sweater

I was so excited to start blocking this beauty. I really thought I had a couple more blocking mats, but nope. I also forget how damp it is where I live and drying takes forever. I can spend months making something, but get frustrated waiting a day or two for it to dry. It alwaysContinue reading “Another Sweater”

Fun at the Library

I had been thinking about stopping by our local library the other night with my youngest and she just happened to come home with a need to check out some books. She earned a book from the school vending machine, but it’s the 8th one in the series. Upon inquiring what she did to earnContinue reading “Fun at the Library”
