Memorial Weekend Memories
Live for the moments you can't put into words. The British Hubby and I often do a Ural weekend getaway on this holiday weekend in the States.

Book Challenge: Guidebook to Murder
"And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby has always been one of my favorite books.

I may have gone a little wild with 22 new projects in March. Go big or go home, right? That…Read more The Last Cast-Ons of Malabrigo March 2020
Malabrigo March?
Gratitude turns what we have into enough. ~ Aesop I love Malabrigo March. This year I've had a hard time finding my knitting mojo in relation to Malabrigo March.

To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often. ~ Winston Churchill Every January 1, we have a chance to remake ourselves.
