I checked the stats for my humble little blog and today there were 969 visits!! Wow!! Most came from the SewmamaSew.com blog where my skirt tutorials are waiting to be judged (and hopefully bring in the win of a $25.00 gift certificate). I’m excited so many people were interested in the tutorials [...]

I also finished the knitting for my French Market bag, made from the same pretty purple Malabrigo, paired with the deep blue Malabrigo leftover from my first Tangelo Sweater. I need to felt it, and the make up a little bottom piece [...]

All Knitting! I have been doing that, even a lot, but I haven’t finished anything because I’m very scattered in my knitting right now. I have so many projects going at once. I did finish a sweater I started months ago. I made the body, but wanted to do something creative on the front. I’ve [...]

What an absolutely lovely day we had! The family went to a Sustainability Fair. First, it’s rather ironic that we drove 1/2 hour to the fair, and then drove around for about 5 minutes looking for a place to park. Hubby commented on this, and we wondered if coming the sustainability fair was sustainable in [...]

I finished the Tie Skirt Tutorial for Toddlers and Children! I was almost done yesterday, but knew I’d be able to wrap it up today. Now you can use dad’s old ties to make his sweet little girl a very cool skirt! Or if dad doesn’t own any ties, or couldn’t part with any of [...]

I have a couple crafty projects to show, but they will be better served by being written about tomorrow. So today, I will tell you about my day at the Park, which is more interesting than it might seem that it could be.
My daughter is 20 months. When we were leaving for the [...]
