Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day. ~ W. H. Gibson Spring days in April can have all four seasons mixed in or it can rain at the drop of a hat even when there are now clouds in sight. Normally, I like to do a weekly group shot of all the Malabrigo March…Read more The Last Monday in April

Destination Moon
A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine. ~ Sarah Brightman Humanity has always been fascinated by space travel. That equates to a plethora of space movies. The British Hubby found two gems for our Friday Night Brain Out Movies, Destination Moon and Invasion UFO. Destination Moon was the classic disaster formulaic…Read more Destination Moon
Malabrigo March Monday
Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. ~ Arthur Ashe Happy Monday! I missed doing a Malabrigo March update last week. To be honest, I really got into my marathon blanket projects and didn't have much to report on the Malabrigo March front. I've been attempting…Read more Malabrigo March Monday
Happy Anniversary
How you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you. I originally planned this post to be about the 1 year anniversary for Criterion Channel.

Book Review: Chestnut Man
"There is no greater threat to the critics and cynics and fearmongers than those of us who are willing to fall because we have learned how to rise."

Still Working From Home

TP-91
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." The Godfather, Part II. Imagine if aliens could invade without being seen. Imagine there's a formula that allows your mind to travel through time and space while your body stayed safely on earth through the power of concentration or a force called TP-91. Now imagine that aliens…Read more TP-91
Knitting Gone Wild
When you are knitting socks and sweaters and scarves, you aren't just knitting. You are assigning a value to human effort. You are holding back time. You are preserving the simple unchanging act of handwork. ~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee My vacation week is coming to an end. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to still…Read more Knitting Gone Wild
The Last Cast-Ons of Malabrigo March 2020
Success is a journey, not a destination. Wow, March was a wild month! I'm not sure what April has in store, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it involved zombies, aliens, velociraptors or Godzilla. 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
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
"What we've got here is a failure to communicate." Cool Hand Luke Friday night movie night definitely has a different vibe now that it's the only thing we can do right now. I think it's important to maintain any sense of normality that we can. You might think by the title that we watched a…Read more The Day the Earth Caught Fire
