Expect nothing. Appreciate everything. Several years ago, I casually mentioned I wanted to learn to weave to the British Hubby (I think it was two cross-country moves ago). Naturally, this prompted him to buy me a loom so I could start a new fiber craft. The British Hubby is amazingly supportive of my fiber pursuits.…Read more Crafting Homework

Olympic Peninsula Adventure: Part 2
And so the adventure begins. Recently, I found an article on unique places to stay in the PNW. In it I discovered the Red Caboose Getaway. It seemed like a perfect choice for our overnight trip. We stayed in the Grape Escape caboose. I love how the outside even has a kitty. I started my Watermelon…Read more Olympic Peninsula Adventure: Part 2
Olympic Peninsula Adventure
Wilderness is not a luxury but necessity of the human spirit. ~ Edward Abbey For many people in the States, this was a three day holiday weekend. The British Hubby and I decided to take advantage of the extra long weekend with our first overnight adventure on Ulysses. We took our first ferry rides. Unknown…Read more Olympic Peninsula Adventure
Cheers!
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. ~ Confucius It's been a long week. I've barely had a chance to knit let alone post about what we've been up to. The day job is keeping me extremely busy. I'm not going to talk about how many hours I worked…Read more Cheers!
Our Journey Back in Time
Remember happiness is a way to travel not a destination. I meant to post about this sooner, but the day job is keeping me extra busy. The British Hubby and I recently time traveled. We went back over 2000 years to era of the first Emperor of China. Actually, we made a journey to the…Read more Our Journey Back in Time

I was one of the people that still needed to attend their day job, but we made an event of…Read more Totally Eclipsed by Socks
Seaside Celebrations
Life should not be lived, it should be celebrated! This weekend, the British Hubby and I celebrated his name day. Last May, we decided to go no carb and no sugar to kick start a new healthy life style in hopes to get in better shape and lose some extra weight. We've made fantastic progress…Read more Seaside Celebrations
Mal Gals Unite!
I'm a yarnaholic on the road to recovery. Just kidding. I'm on the road to the yarn store! I am very fortunate to live close to several Malabrigo Junkies. We try to meet up a few times a year (at least once every Malabrigo March). This meet up we had a special Mal Gal from…Read more Mal Gals Unite!
Stage Four Begins
There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. That and running out of yarn. ~ Crochet Magazine Stage four of Tour de Sock began late Monday night. I'm yet to cast on or even wind my yarn and there are already about 100 finished pairs. Well, I did say I wasn't competing. Good thing since…Read more Stage Four Begins
Adventures in the Midwest
Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow. Last Tuesday, I was packing for my yearly visit to the Midwest to see my family. I grew up in the Midwest. The British Hubby says I'm a Midwestern girl at heart, but the longer I live in the PNW the more I realize just how…Read more Adventures in the Midwest
