If I knew you were coming, I'ld a baked a cake. Purpura is Latin for purple. Now that Malabrigo March is over, the Malabrigo Junkie group is running a color along for the month of April over on Ravlery. Can you guess the color? It's Purple! Purple just so happens to be my all time…Read more Purpura April

Malabrigo March Comes to a Close
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. ~Douglas Adams Another Malabrigo March has come to a close. If you remember back on March 1, I posted a group photo and listed out my projects. I managed to sneak in another…Read more Malabrigo March Comes to a Close
Love it or Leave it: Socks
I like making string into something I can wear. It's March 31. That means I should have eight completed wips. It also means I'm celebrating the end of the work week. Break out the bubbly, I have eight frogged or finished projects. This month three projects were frogged. All of them were the start of…Read more Love it or Leave it: Socks
Cooking Adventures
Eating is a necessity, but cooking is an art. I grew up in a rural area of the Midwest. My culinary exposure was rather lacking. The British Hubby was the complete opposite. Curry is one of his favorite meals. Before we were married, I had never eaten curry let alone attempted to cook one. This…Read more Cooking Adventures
Endings & Beginnings

The Last Frank Stripe
To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping. ~ Chinese Proverbs The sun is shining, and I just finished my last Frank Stripe on my Frank in Paris scarf. Now I have 40 regular rows to go before the border. This scarf…Read more The Last Frank Stripe
Winding Down the Weekend
The only limits in life are the ones you make. The sun was short lived, and the rain/mist is back. I noticed snow on the forecast this week (I hope my new snow shovel arrives before it comes). The kitties and I had some extra time on our hands so we decided to bake and…Read more Winding Down the Weekend
The Bread of Life
Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory. Life is full of ups and downs. This week an important person from my childhood passed away. Services were in the Midwest, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it there in time. To compound matters even more, the…Read more The Bread of Life
Small Comforts
Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter We all have days when it feels like we're the bug smooshed on the windshield. I have a few old stand bys I use when life gets me down. One of them involves LOTR. Another is baking or cooking. Today, I had…Read more Small Comforts
