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
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
Craftvent: Day 16
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. ~ Mae West Have you been wondering what's happening with my craftvent scarves? Each day is taking longer and longer to post about. I will admit as Spring approaches, it's hard to keep up steam on my winter scarves. Maybe that's the real reason crafters have…Read more Craftvent: Day 16
Craftvent Day 15
Strive not to be of success, but rather to be of value. ~ Albert Einstein In theory, surprise days should give me a chance to catch up. Yet, I still only seem to get out one craftvent email a week. It looks like my last Craftvent post was 11 days ago, eek! Either the knitting…Read more Craftvent Day 15
Craftvent Day 14
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." ~ Arthur C. Clarke This week, we've been watching an approaching winter storm develop. I love knitting while I'm layered in various knitting garments to keep warm. That's good since I have plenty of hats, scarves and…Read more Craftvent Day 14
Craftvent Day 13
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive---- to breathe, to think to enjoy, to love. ~ Marcus Aurelius This weekend seems to be a celebration of surprises so far. Day 13 in craftvent was a surprise day. What's in package number 13!? The surprise days…Read more Craftvent Day 13
Craftvent Day 11
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
The Books of 2020
Always look on the bright side of life. Otherwise it'll be too dark to read. ~ Unknown With the conclusion of 2020, means the end of my 2020 Book Challenge. I was very ambitious last year when I set my reading goal of 25 books. Based off of 2019, I thought it was doable. Nothing…Read more The Books of 2020
Craftvent Day 10
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart. ~ Helen Keller I didn't expect it to take me another week to write the next Craftvent post. After all, Day 10 is a surprise day with no knitting involved. Life is unpredictable.…Read more Craftvent Day 10
