Leave a sparkle where ever you go. It's Friday again. That means we're celebrating life. This week we're celebrating holiday lights. Many world religions and cultures have festivals that celebrate light. We can go back to pagan times to Winter Solstice celebrations that celebrate the return of sunlight from darkness.

Working from Home: Week 42
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~ E.E. Cummings Life is meant to be a challenge. For some, their challenge is learning how to think for oneself. For others, it's perseverance. And others, it's figuring out how to accept defeat gracefully. Often in life, I've learned the most from…Read more Working from Home: Week 42
The World is Not Enough
"Oh, pipe down 007." ~ Q As we're nearing the conclusion of our Bond movie quest, we've started spacing out the movies. Partially, this gives us time to decide what we'll watch after our Bond movie marathon concludes. It's partially because some of these movies feel very formulaic without much original story line or stunts.…Read more The World is Not Enough
Craftvent Day 3
Will you dare to be original? I can hardly believe that I'm posting about Craftvent Day 3 already, but there you have it. I'm posting about Day 3. I full expected the days with knitting to take me about a week to finish. The day job has been keeping me rather busy, and I'm working…Read more Craftvent Day 3
Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner
“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” ~ Breakfast Club Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. Sure, it's safe to say I enjoy eating, but I love a good breakfast anytime of the day. Omelets, bagels, scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, pancakes, eggs benedict or toast, the…Read more Celebrating Life: Breakfast for Dinner

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. ~ George Bernard Shaw It's been another 604,800 seconds.

Craftvent: Day 2
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already eased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. Sure, I bet you thought since Day 1 involved no knitting it wouldn't take me another week to post about Day 2? I thought that too! Then I remembered I have two calendars…Read more Craftvent: Day 2
Cowl-o-Ween: Days 5, 6 and 7
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. This isn't my primary focus right now, but mosaic knitting is a bit easier to follow than lace knitting when watching…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 5, 6 and 7
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.

Working from Home: Week 40
To find yourself, thing for yourself. ~ Socrates Forty weeks ago, I started working from home. That same week the British Hubby also started working from home. Has it really been 40 weeks? Well, the kitties have adjusted to us being mostly home all together. They all have their own unique daily rituals to reaffirm…Read more Working from Home: Week 40
