A river cuts through rock not because of it's power, but because of it's persistence. I know it's December, and I'm still talking about Halloween knits. What can I say. I'm a process knitter.

Celebrating Life: Tea
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. ~ Mother Teresa There is so much in life we could complain about.

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

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.

Celebrating Life: Kiss My Keto
B is for baking beautiful bread. Another Friday has rolled around. While the election news or lack of results, has made this week feel twice as long. We're still celebrating life here! It's no surprise I love making, eating and toasting bread. I love that warm yeasty aroma as dough proofs and bakes. It's full…Read more Celebrating Life: Kiss My Keto
