To understand, one has only to listen. Friday the 13th has become a sacred tradition for the British Hubby and myself. Eighteen months ago, our Godzilla adventure began on a Friday the 13th. Little did we know, that first movie would be the catalyst for our Godzilla fandom. Last night we continued our horror tradition…Read more Bright Lights
Craftvent Mishap
Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them. My Craftvent II has gotten off to a rocky start this year. It started with the main color yarn not being one I would normally knit with. One reason I enjoy KALs is to learn new techniques and try new yarns.…Read more Craftvent Mishap
Craftvent Day 2: The first yarn
Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either. ~ Elizabeth Zimmerman I was eagerly awaiting December 2 to see the first yarn for Craftvent only discover it was a fuzzy alpaca base. Mohair type yarns aren't a style of yarn I gravitate towards, and sadly, I can't wear…Read more Craftvent Day 2: The first yarn
Craftvent Day 1: The Journey Begins
Your greatness is not in what you have, but in what you give back. It's December 1. The holiday season is officially upon us. This year I find myself not making to do lists, but finding ways I can give back. This is my second year of Craftvent. Yes, last year's project is still uncompleted.…Read more Craftvent Day 1: The Journey Begins
Malabrigo Monday is Back
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. ~ Ann Landers It's been a bit since I've done a Malabrigo March update. I would love to say I have all my MM 19 projects completed. I'm making slow and steady progress. There's still 96 days and 8 hours until Malabrigo…Read more Malabrigo Monday is Back

If you don't get lost, there's a chance you will never be found. Hello dear followers. How have you been? It's been quite for awhile I know. We were right in the middle of Monster Mayhem 2019. Never fear it will be back in 2020. This Fall, stressors from various factors of my life have…Read more Return from Radio Silence
National Cat Day
Cats are connoisseurs of comfort. ~ James Herriot I'm finally feeling well enough to post more than once a week. Being sick just plain stinks. I had a different post planned for today when I learned that October 29 is national cat day. Stop the presses, when one gets the chance to blow-up the internet…Read more National Cat Day
Monster Mayhem Continues
"We came, we saw, we saw, we kicked its ass." ~ Ghostbusters How is it the last week of October? This month I've spent more time sleeping and watching movies than pretty much anything else. I went back to work before I was close to being healthy, and consequently I've not had much brain power…Read more Monster Mayhem Continues
Great Scott, It’s Friday Night!
There is magic in the night when the pumpkins glow by moonlight. It's been awhile dear followers. This cold has zapped my creativity and my energy. It's not been great for my knitting either, but I have enjoyed Monster Mayhem 2019. This Friday we took a slightly different approach with our movie pick. The original…Read more Great Scott, It’s Friday Night!
Stormy Monday
Success is to wake up each morning and consciously decide that today will be the best day of your life. ~ Ken Poirot It's Monday again. I was out sick most of last week from the day job. Going back today was exhausting and not that sleepy kind of exhausting. The exhaustion one feels in…Read more Stormy Monday
