Believe nothing you hear and only half that you see. ~ Edgar Allen Poe I was researching spooky Halloween/Autumnal quotes when I discovered the above quote from Poe. While it is especially apropos for Halloween and fancy dress parties, it also seems relevant to news headlines and political rhetoric in this country right now. Day…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 2

Celebrating Life: Fall Harvest
A thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. ~ William Blake Wow, sometimes life just keeps throwing obstacles at you to see how strong you are. I'm starting to feel a bit like a broken record about how hard some of these weeks have been. This week we had some unexpected bad news in our extended…Read more Celebrating Life: Fall Harvest
For Your Eyes Only
"Goodbye, Mr. Bond. I trust you had a pleasant trip." As major movie releases are starting to be postponed into 2021, we debated about taking a mini respite in our Bond movie marathon. Burt, our tuxedo and most 007 kitty, thought that would be offensive to tuxedo kitties world wide so we're continuing on with…Read more For Your Eyes Only
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 1
Fortune befriends the bold. ~ Emily Dickenson No doubt everyone will have their own reasons 2020 has been a challenging year. When I saw the Fright Club kal, I thought what a fantastic way to claim back some excitement in what could be a very tumultuous autumn in this country. I've always loved places that…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 1
Moonraker
He's on his last leg, sir. ~ Money Penny Now that we're firmly into autumn, we debated this weekend if we should forgo the Bond movie for Monster Mayhem.

Working from Home: Week 30
You're imperfect and you're wired for struggle, but you are worth of love and belonging. ~ Brene Brown Wow, I thought smoke from the wildfires was a bit soul crushing. Just as the rain arrived in the PNW to provide breathable air we lost not one but two great woman both to cancer. Needless to…Read more Working from Home: Week 30
The Return of Monster Mayhem
Clothes make a statement, costumes tell a story. ~ Mason Cooley With so much being cancelled this year or moving to virtual events, it's hard to get excited about the changing of seasons. Autumn is typically a great time for knitting. The days are shorter, the nights are chilly and leaves start to descend from…Read more The Return of Monster Mayhem
The Spy Who Loved Me
He just dropped in for a quick bite. ~ Bond I've been trying to write this post for the past few days, but with the passing of Ruther Bader Ginsburg it just felt unimportant. Then I tried to write a post honoring RBG, but I couldn't find the right words to do it justice either…Read more The Spy Who Loved Me
Working from Home: Week 29
A river cuts through a rock not because of it's power, but it's persistence. Another week has gone by. I'm not going to sugar coat it. This has been a hard week and at time rather soul crushing. The smoky conditions are still here and haven't cleared as predicted on Monday. Our next chance of…Read more Working from Home: Week 29
