You can just click on the photo above to go to the Ravelry listing, which has all the detail about Rachel. You can always find the Rachel pattern with links to all the sites where she can be bought, along with my other crochet patterns, in my crochet pattern directory (under the patterns section … Read more
This seems like a good Wednesday for a WiP update, so here you go! I have done most of the math for the Katherine coat re-write that I told you about the other day. I am ready to make a few videos for extra help with some of the more tricky parts. Then I will be ready to start making my coat. But first, I have to frog the first go. Lots of unraveling ahead for me! Yesterday was such … Read more
That’s me, just chugging along. I try to do one thing at a time, but sometimes that doesn’t seem feasible. Oh well, I just make the best of it and do what I can.
I received a special order for a Max hat. A couple saw them at InsaniTea, and fell in love, but didn’t see one in the size and color they wanted. So above is a picture of the cute colors they picked out for their 6~12 month Max hat.
This fun hat came about when I needed Christmas presents for some young cousins of mine.
I miss my parents when they are off living on other continents. But there are some perks. My mom saw the Bayeux Tapestry and bought me back a goodie from the gift shop. Before you say, “What, just cards?” Look inside. Pretty cool, aren’t they? MINE!!! I love them. A few days ago Kyla lost one of her top front teeth. The other one has been leaning to one side, so it looks like it is right in the middle. … Read more
My mother is here visiting! Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while may remember that my mother works for DoDEA (Department of Defense Education Activity); basically, she teaches the children of enlisted personel and other personel on military bases around the world. Currently, she is stationed in Germany. This means my parents only make it back to the States over the summer, and I only get to see them for a short amount of that … Read more
I have been doing some housecleaning on my blog. Trying to get all the photos stored in the right place, and lots of other technical “stuff” I had no clue about years ago. It has been fun looking through old posts, though this is going to take at least a week, if not two! So if you notice a few things looking wonky over the next week or two, you know it is just me futzing around! Anyway, if you … Read more
There has been a lot going on around here as of late. The littles just graduated from Kindergarten. I had a friend whom I haven’t seen in two years spend the week here. Doug’s last day of the school year was today (though he still has his other two jobs all summer long.) And there has been a lot happening politically centered around teachers, contracts, education, and such. I have been very stressed. Oh, and I started testing my newest … Read more
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Well, yesterday I promised you lots of pictures, so here they are! A couple weeks ago I helped out with the book fair at school. I finally remembered to bring my camera and take a snap of this quote on the gym wall that I just love. Good advice for kids (and adults as well.) For 2 days the gym was full of books and kids, it was fun. Â I had this little beginning of a granny~something~or~other laying about, and … Read more
