I started, in January, attempting to make a pair of socks, for myself, each month. I only made one knee high in January, but did complete February, March, April, and today I finished my favorite so far, my May socks. This may be the last pair for this monthly challenge. The other knitter that was [...]

Okay, bear with me here. I have a fabulous book recommendation, but it’s title is unconventional. I’m sure the author very much intended this to be the case, but as with many things that we really should be more comfortable with, we aren’t. The book entitled, Holy Shit: Managing Manure To Save Mankind, is all [...]

Today was one of the most peaceful days I’ve had in a while, and it was very much needed. I think one of the keys was time spent wandering around our little farm yard. Just checking in on everyone, with the sun shining, birds singing, ducks squawking, chickens announcing that they just laid and egg. [...]

I have been working on a knitting project that, while I’m excited about it, is just Knit a row, Purl a row, continue…forever. The gauge is 6 sts to the inch, the sweater is for me, this is going to be a lot of stitches. I figure that it would be a good time to [...]

My family caught our first bad cold of the Winter. We all go it, to varying degrees. I am happy to say that herbal remedies and lots of Elderberry syrup was all it took to get through it, but the staggering of sickness had us off our game for over a week. Glad to say [...]

Two Red Sweaters with White Snowflake buttons, all made by mama. I bought the book "Phoebe's Sweater ", to make sweaters for the girls, and give them the warm woolies and the book for Christmas. http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=wwwzooziiscom-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0578046970 I made Eowyn's first, then finished up Istra's, and I'm glad I did them in that order, since Istra's [...]
She Rearranged Furniture December 10, 2010

I'm not as likely to participate, as my friend Jessica, her house is different almost everytime I visit, but I do like a good "Furniture Rearranging Session". Even if it's the same old stuff, it looks completely different when it's in, even a slightly different spot. Today I commandeered the wardrobe that we've been using [...]

I've always refered to my family with nicknames, on the internet. I read somewhere it's "safer" that way. Not sure, but seemed uneccessary to use the girls names on here, so why not. Until now. My daughter and husband are now published authors, so we shall not refer to my family by nicknames, any longer. [...]

The second pair of mittens for Mini are half done. I am thinking she needs 4-5 pairs for winter and I am going to see if I can make them all before Monday at Midnight…5 pair of mittens in 1 week. We'll see. I'm loving the pattern so much, and this second pair is made [...]
