To reach your goal, you have to get out of bed. Today's quote really sums up so much of life. More than half the battle is just showing up. For some people, just arriving on time is a challenge. If you've been following my blog for a bit, you know my challenge is not casting…Read more The Artist Formally Known as Malabrigo March

The Completed Projects of June
Great things never came from comfort zones. I wouldn't call myself a knitter on the cutting edge. My wips do get a bit out of control sometimes, but I haven't learned all that I can in the knitting world. It can be hard to push myself to learn new techniques when there are so many…Read more The Completed Projects of June
Brain Out: B Movies and Cult Classics
“We can’t stop here! This is bat country.”– Raoul Duke, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Friday nights were Godzilla movie night. It's no surprise that Godzilla leaves a pretty big empty spot in his wake. How can you not love that adorably huge lizard? The British Hubby and I were unsure what direction our Friday…Read more Brain Out: B Movies and Cult Classics
The Last Monday of June
Time flies over us, but it leaves it shadow behind. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne Wow, in less than a week it's going to be July. The year is almost half way over. Summer solstice passed us by. It's officially moving towards winter. Where is 2019 going? I haven't even started on my goal to become a…Read more The Last Monday of June
Malabrigo March Wip Update
The best mirror is an old friend. ~ George Herbert It's been awhile since I had a progress report on my Malabrigo March wips. Knitting time at the end of May and the start of June was at an all time low. It's starting to pick back up. I'm trying to sneak in small amounts…Read more Malabrigo March Wip Update
Sprouting up Buttercups
Success is to wake up each morning and consciously decide that today will be the best day of your life. ~ Ken Poirot Last year, I joined Stitch Sprouts. I worked through several projects that were meant to build my knitting skills. Okay, the class was pretty easy, but I met some new knitting friends.…Read more Sprouting up Buttercups
In the Beginning
Spontaneity is the best kind of adventure. Today's quote sums up my knitting philosophy to a tee. I admire crafters that only have a few projects on the go and see them to completion before casting on the next project. Knitting is my happy place. If casting on a new project makes me happy, that's…Read more In the Beginning
Swatching It Up
When you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine. Ever have one of those weeks when you wave at the 40 hours your supposed to work all week zoom right by and yet you're still working? May is a tough month at the day job. Prepping so this month runs smoothly equates to not much…Read more Swatching It Up
Malabrigo March Progress
The greater danger for most of us isn't that our aim is too high and we'll miss it, but that it is too low and we won't reach it. ~ Michelangelo It's the start of another work week. I meant to post over the weekend, dear followers, but it was so amazing outside that I…Read more Malabrigo March Progress
April Wip Update
Be stronger than your excuses. It's Monday again. I had my doubts last week if I would successfully complete two wips. Recovery from the stomach bug was more uphill than I anticipated. The British Hubby is back to 100%. I'm dealing with some lingering energy issues. The kitties have enjoyed the extra naps and snuggles.…Read more April Wip Update
