Do what is right, not what is easy. It's the last week of January. It's cold and sunny this morning. It's very tempting to cast on a new project and let my momentum on my craftvent scarves wan. Working on two scarves means each day takes twice as long. Typically, this is exactly when I…Read more Craftvent Day 11

Celebrating Life: Comfort Food
Know what sparks the light in you. Then use that light to illuminate the world. ~ Oprah Winfrey Last Friday, I was very excited for the weekend. This Friday has a much more somber vibe.

Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner
“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” ~ Breakfast Club Breakfast is one of my favorite meals.
