Tomorrow Never Dies and M
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. ~ Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies Our Friday night Bond movie fest continued this week with Tomorrow Never Dies. The second movie was a suggestion from the Malabrigo Junkie group, M. We enjoyed the second movie more than the first. Maybe Pierce Brosnan…Read more Tomorrow Never Dies and M
Celebrating Life: Opt Outside
There's always something beautiful outside. Today is one of the biggest shopping days in the United States. As a child, I always thought it was strange that the day after we show gratitude we shop. As an adult, I recognize just how commercialized everything has become. The British Hubby often calls this country, The United…Read more Celebrating Life: Opt Outside
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Nothing happens without a reason. ~ Marilyn Monroe Lucky day 13! Or maybe it's a baker's dozen? (Oh man, I can tell I've been pushing myself in my workouts this week. That sentence conjured up images of dancing pastries!) I'm supposed to be writing about opening the last package for my Haunted Handwarmers. I'm a…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Golden Eye
" I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl." ~ Golden Eye This past week was challenging for the British Hubby and I.

Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can't get very far until you change it. A few Fridays ago, I had a celebrate life post about Cowl-o-Ween. I had so much fun with the mitts, I decided to go for the matching cowl. This is a 31 day kal with pretty much the…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 12
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. ~ Richard L. Evans Over the weekend, I realized I'm about to hit the two decade mark for being a knitter. It won't be long before I've been knitting longer than I haven't been knitting. I never stop to ponder how my body is getting older…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 12
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 11
When you exhausted all possibilities, remember this, you haven't. ~ Thomas Edison Sticking to one knitting project is a challenge for me. A new skein of yarn is full of endless possibilities. After today, I have two more packages remaining to open in my Haunted Handwarmers. It is a challenge for me to keep working…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 11
