I’m wondering if we’re in for an early spring this year. The Redbud tree is in bud but I haven’t checked to see what else may be budding out. The daffodils that got beaten down by the downpour several days ago have perked back up to some extent. It’s 5:30 pm and we have theContinue reading “An Early Spring?”

It’s Time To Decide
I am ready to start the last pattern repeat on this shawl but I still have 1.4 ounces of yarn left. Do I go ahead and finish with 42 saw teeth or do I keep going and try to leave enough to bind off? Honestly I think I’m ready to bind off and just addContinue reading “It’s Time To Decide”
Happy Saturday!
Since it’s Saturday and it’s been awhile since we had a breakfast croissant from the coffee shop Brad drove in and picked up our breakfast. It was more of a brunch than a breakfast since we were both slow to get moving this morning. Up and down, cool/warm/cool weather has our joints complaining and we’reContinue reading “Happy Saturday!”
Back To The Prayer Shawl
This has been in time out for quite some time while I worked on sock projects. I keep referring to this hand-spun yarn as DK weight. It’s not. It’s 2-ply worsted. I remember now when I was spinning it that I wanted a plump yarn and had to pay attention to keep from ending upContinue reading “Back To The Prayer Shawl”
Another Dreary Day
It’s in the low 50’s, overcast and a bit foggy this morning. All in all, another dreary day. We have errands to run later and it’s supposed to reach the high 60’s with a slight chance of rain but I doubt we’ll get much. We will be picking up a few things today and makingContinue reading “Another Dreary Day”
Fall is Finally Here
We woke up to 68° in the house and 58° outside and turned the heat on to get the chill off the house. It’s a gorgeous day, sunny with a light breeze and Brad is headed to the coffee shop for breakfast croissants. We like to do that on Saturday for a treat once inContinue reading “Fall is Finally Here”
Granny Needs Another Staycation
I’ve had a blast this week, but I’m about done. Two days back to back shopping with my adorable eleven year old grandson were a treat, but after all the cleaning I’ve done this month, being on my feet so much…I need a long weekend to recoup. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat,Continue reading “Granny Needs Another Staycation”
Getting Rid of Clutter
I’ve cleared away a LOT of clutter off of the table and shelves. Very soon all this plastic stuff will be gone and I’ll have a nice desk with a couple of shelves mounted on the wall above the desk. I need to go through that plastic storage unit to the left. I could easilyContinue reading “Getting Rid of Clutter”
Ah! Rain! Welcome Rain!
The storms last night split and went north and south of us and I don’t believe we got a single drop! It happens from time to time and we really need the rain. It started clouding up this morning and a little while ago I looked out and…it was raining! A nice, slow, steady rain.Continue reading “Ah! Rain! Welcome Rain!”
Just A Little More Summer Heat
I’m enjoying working on my current Ludlow Shawl. This BFL/Nylon yarn is easy to knit and has good stitch definition. Probably should have bought more of this yarn when I had the chance. It’s back up to 95° today. We missed most of the rain that passed through here but at least the grass isContinue reading “Just A Little More Summer Heat”
