Spring has come!
Finally!! The snow is was melting, the birds are chirping (actually they have been chirping for a while but I have felt bad for them- it was freezing out there!!) and I am already looking forward to the upcoming summer months.

It’s a Jungle Out There (Apparently)
Most Saturdays I get up, and leave the hubster for an hour or so he can play video games and I drink coffee with my friend Megan. I have mentioned her before. She is the one who convinced me that running in a relay marathon was a good idea. Pretty sure she is drugging my … Continue reading

The Blanket that will never end….
Ok peeps- so here’s the deal: I am sick of talking about this freaking blanket. No, it is still not done- about 2/3 of the ends still need to be weaved in and that will be a long process that I will break up over several days (or several weeks, whatever) And I am sure … Continue reading
The Return of the Nosegay
This will look familiar to my readers- but I have remade the Nosegay Doily for our kitchen. This time, it is much, much smaller.
