First off, thanks for all the comments about my monster pile of project. I know, it is ridiculous. In my defence (if there is any!), some of them are quite old and about 10 or so are class projects I just haven’t gotten around to finishing. And several of them are small. Really. Okay, yeah, [...]

Water Lilies and Dollies
I’ve realized that when one has a toddler days rarely go as planned. Take today: Baby Man and I were going to go out to have fish and chips for lunch since Daddy had gone out for a business meeting. We weren’t going to let a little rain stop us. Unfortunately, halfway to the restaurant [...]

National Craft Month – Crochet
Spring has made a reappearance here after disappearing into a couple of days of gloomy gloom. The sunny weather doesn’t match my mood though.

Socks, a Sea Turtle and Some Cleaning
I’m a little bit rough around the edges these days. We’ve gone from Baby Man going to bed very easily at night, to him crying for up to an hour before falling asleep, to him waking up sometime between 12:30 and 1:30am and refusing to go back to sleep. That means I’ve spent the last [...]

Happy (Prehistoric) Yule!
Happy Yule! Happy Winter Solstice! Welcome back Sun! (Yes, I’m a day late again. Imagine that.) I was able to finish up Baby Man’s Yule gift in time. It is Planet June’s Stegosaurus. (FYI: She is having a sale until December 24th.) I used Bernat Satin, and made a few changes because my gauge is [...]
