The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. It's the last day of April. Where did the month go? This month the day job has creeped into my weekends and evenings. It put quite the damper on my crafting time. This morning, I only had two finished projects. So I went through…Read more April Recap

The Return of Steve & Stevette
Let nature be your teacher. ~ William Wordsworth A few weeks ago, I noticed the return of Steve and Stevette, our yard bunny couple. Their appearance always signifies the start of Spring. I mistakenly thought they hibernated over the winter, but after a little research I discovered rabbits do not hibernate. You can learn more…Read more The Return of Steve & Stevette
Weekend Rewards
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. This was a short weekend for me. While the British Hubby returned home on Friday (always cause for celebrations), I had a surprise project land on my workload that required some work…Read more Weekend Rewards
Small Comforts
We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason. I've always been a free spirited independent soul. Even as a young child, I never needed or wanted help. I could do it on my own. As an adult, asking for help is not one of my strong points.…Read more Small Comforts
One Year Anniversary
March to the beat of your own drum. Today is the one year anniversary of my very first post! How exciting. A year ago, I decided to mark my journey through all my lingering wips. The British Hubby calls them my Orphan Wips. On my very first post, I had about 75 projects. As I cleaned…Read more One Year Anniversary
Let Them Eat Cake

This is the British Hubby's favorite cake, tuxedo cake, from our local grocery store. We don't often treat ourselves to this so it felt like a very special…Read more Let Them Eat Cake
Malabrigo March Wip Update
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. This has been a challenging week both personally and professionally. I've accomplished some knitting, but not much. Earlier in the week I cast…Read more Malabrigo March Wip Update
On This Day
Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness. ~Napoleon Hill My boss is a baseball fan. He likes to stream Cubs games in his office in between meetings. Here's an interesting tidbit: the first live sports event on KDKA radio took place on April 11, 1921. It was a…Read more On This Day
Cooking a Feast
Gratitue unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and…Read more Cooking a Feast
Weekend Celebrations
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated. ~ Osho It's the weekend once again. You guessed it. We're celebrating life here! This week was sort of the calm before the storm at my day job. I took advantage by getting some extra knitting in. Introducing my first liberated wip of April! My…Read more Weekend Celebrations
