Behind every knitter, is a huge pile of yarn. In March, I joined the Rowan Elder Throw KAL thinking I would have a mostly completed blanket in about six months. If you've been following my blog for long, you know I often drastically underestimate the amount of time it takes me to complete projects. Time…Read more Building Comfort: Clue 2

Diamonds are Forever
Thank you very much. I was out walking my rat and lost my way. ~ Diamonds are Forever This Friday was movie number 7 in our 007 adventure. Sean Connery is back in Diamonds are Forever. Time is marching on. You can feel the 70's vibe in the theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbEuzJCnqI It was a little…Read more Diamonds are Forever
Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework. Okay, sure I'm old enough when most of my school work was done on paper, and we had scratch-n-sniff stickers. Maybe it was chasing…Read more Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
Working from Home: Week 26
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August.

Five Skeins Full
Knitting keeps me from unraveling. I love knitting blankets. I love giving knitted blankets. Much like quilts, knitted blankets are comforting, personal and homey.

Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We're down to the last three or four that haven't bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Three Wheeled Picnic
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. Wow, where did the week go? I had planned to post this earlier in the week, but the day job has kept me busy.

Thunderball
"I think he got the point." ~ Thunderball Last Friday, we only managed one movie. It was so lovely outside, I had a walk with a coworker. Nothing like a walk and an adult beverage with a friend. It's challenging to wear a mask while imbibing, but we did keep them on to walk. The…Read more Thunderball
Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. ~ Langston Hughes In the PNW, we don't often get rain in July and August.
