When the music changes, so does the dance. ~ African Proverb Sorry about the double entendre title above, but I couldn't resist. It made me giggle, and we needed laughs right now. We've had a particularly rough 48 hours so this wasn't the easiest post to write. I firmly believe it's the rough patches in…Read more Celebrating Life: Sometimes it’s Hard

The First 2023 Cast-On: Malabrigo Mist
Knitting keeps me from unraveling. ~ The Art of Knitting Casting on projects is my favorite. I love the planning part when you found an amazing skein in your favorite color and base. What could it be? The possibilities are endless. I'm a process knitter. I always have been. And I have no project monogamy.…Read more The First 2023 Cast-On: Malabrigo Mist
The Blog Returns
The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy except that they are so. ~ William Inge Hello Dear Followers, How have you been? I know it's been awhile.

Weekend Adventures
Life is a series of thousands of miracles. Notice them. Water is one of my favorite things about living in the PNW. I love the rainy season. I love all the lakes, streams and the sound. I love it when it comes in the form of snow. It probably comes as no surprise that I'm…Read more Weekend Adventures
Book Challenge: Vanishing Fleece
Be the reason someone smiles today. It's been a bit since my last book challenge book. I'm a bit behind for completing 25 books this year, but I'm not worried. Setting a book challenge is about expanding my knowledge even if I only read two books really slowly. Okay, some books are bit more fluff…Read more Book Challenge: Vanishing Fleece
Have Tea Will Travel
Some adventures take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny. ~ C.S. Lewis One of the many things I missed during the lockdown, was the ability to just browse in a yarn store. Maybe I have a pattern I need yarn to create or maybe I just want to see what's…Read more Have Tea Will Travel

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." ~ James Dean We all think we're going to live forever. We act as if we have all the time in the world. Or maybe that's just how it felt while we watched England sit in to defend a 1-0 score during the…Read more England Loses the 2020 Euro
Small Town Fun
"Your the mayor of shark city." ~ Jaws Last year, most of our celebrations involved supporting local businesses and social distancing. This year, we're still supporting local businesses, but we also went on a little July 4 adventure. This year we added in a morning Ulysses ride with our own Twin Peaks photo shoot. If…Read more Small Town Fun
Celebrating Life: Keto Hot Dog Buns
You are so much sunshine in every square inch. ~ Walt Whitman Summertime in the Midwest always meant cook-outs, fresh pie, fireworks, lighting-bugs and toasted marshmallows. Those are some of my fondest childhood memories I have of summer vacations. Not surprisingly, my happiest memories involve food. I come from a family of feeders.
