I have decided to name 2010 “The Year That Sucks”. Yes, things have continued to go down hill. Admittedly nothing is quite as bad as losing our beloved Isis, but the continuous stream of crappy things is really wearing on me.

Finished -Ugly- Socks!
With Baby Man back to his old self, I’ve been able to get a bit more time to knit and cross stitch. I’ve been busy with socks (yes, more socks), Castles in the Air, and even a couple of special gifts. I’ve also been mourning the loss of my nsLNS, Golden Threads, which made the [...]
