Yesterday the husband and I took Baby Man to the doctor for this 24-month well baby check-up… in the pouring rain. Yes, a good old downpour on January 25th. It hit a high of 6°C here yesterday, which is exceptionally unusual for January. And because Baby Man gets car sickness so easily, we had to [...]

Cross Stitchers’ Public Awareness League
I’m sure we are all aware that knitting is undergoing a huge resurgence. Even crochet, knitting’s often under-appreciated and much maligned cousin, is seeing a surge in interest.
