Monday Mania
Monday is the day to set aside fears; the fear of missing out, the fear of regret. Remove from your thoughts anything that suggests 'I could have' or 'I wish I had'.

To Pom Pom or Not to Pom Pom?
What did the hat say to the tie?“You hang around here…I’ll go on a head.” Last week, my knitting dilemma was to add a pom pom to Lettuce Oscar. My original plan was for a pom pom on my slouchy hat.
