What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. ~ T.S. Elliot I'm starting to feel better but the British Hubby had a relapse. We decided to have another low key weekend to beat this cold once and…Read more Endings & Beginnings
Serendipitous Friday
Serendipity: a happy coincidence. It's Friday. Time to celebrate life. I'm celebrating happy coincidences. Today was one of those unexpectedly pleasant days in my working career. I was attending a work conference. Originally, I thought today would be a break from the normal routine and a chance to pick up some new skills. To my…Read more Serendipitous Friday
The Cold
I don't think nuclear weapons will kill us, but germs will. ~ Raymond Martin I know it's been awhile. Despite my best efforts, I'm the latest victim to the British Hubby's cold. Between working and the cold, I've done very little knitting. We won't talk about how much our house looks like a war zone.…Read more The Cold
Snow Flurries and Frogging
It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. ~Confucius We wanted to hike this weekend, but the British Hubby is still recuperating from his cold and we've had snow flurries again. This winter sure is persistent. It refuses to make way for Spring. I decided to frog a…Read more Snow Flurries and Frogging
First Friday of March
Confidence is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and taking the tarter sauce with you. ~ Zig Ziglar We made it to the end of the week and that means it's my Friday night celebration of life. Wow, it's been a dozy of a week. I'm celebrating with my version of fish n'chips. Here's…Read more First Friday of March
Malabrigo March Begins!
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. ~ Martin Buber It's the start of a new month. Malabrigo March is my favorite month. It's a month of casting on new projects in my favorite brand of yarn. I know this seems counter productive to my wip quest, but I'm going to…Read more Malabrigo March Begins!
Goodbye to Feb-Blue-ary
Always remember that every obstacle is a test and an opportunity. This has been a rocky month both in my crafting and in my personal life. Yesterday, there was a very localized snow storm. My house had white-out conditions with around five more inches of snow making my commute home treacherous, one of my Feb-Blue-ary…Read more Goodbye to Feb-Blue-ary
Lazy Sundays & Snow Flurries
Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week. All weekend long we've have snow flurries and a slushy rain. That means it's pretty chilly outside. The kitties only want to snuggle, and Ernie's back to sitting on the vents (yes, he's a four legged static machine). Sadly, the British Hubby caught a nasty cold…Read more Lazy Sundays & Snow Flurries
Homecoming
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. ~ William Shakespeare It's the start of the weekend. This Friday is an extra special celebration of life with the British Hubby's return from his travels. He knew I've been having a tough February so he brought me…Read more Homecoming
The Last Frank Stripe
To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping. ~ Chinese Proverbs The sun is shining, and I just finished my last Frank Stripe on my Frank in Paris scarf. Now I have 40 regular rows to go before the border. This scarf…Read more The Last Frank Stripe
