Love Wins

Over the past year or so I have done my best to keep politics off my blog. Today, I am so happy that I have to break that rule. Though honestly, I don’t see it as politics as much as I see it as celebrating the fact that EVERY American now has the right to LOVE.

Today is a day I will never forget. I just had a conversation with my daughters explaining why today is so important. They were so happy to know that every person in the USA now has the right to marry the person they love, and to have all the rights that come with that marriage. I did my best to explain some of those rights in terms that almost~8~year~olds could understand. Things like hospital visitation/medical decisions and family healthcare.

Today, everything else seems so small and insignificant. Today is a celebration of love. Today is beautiful. Today is important. Today, love wins.

I want to share my brother’s Facebook status with you, because I love what he said. He is awesome! You can check him out here.

Heart-Free-Crochet-Pattern

I won!!

OK, it is pretty clear I did not win the community choice vote for the Stevie Nicks shawl contest. First and second place both doubled my votes, but third isn’t bad. However, the title of this post is not a lie. You see, I won something even better then $500 (though that sure would have been nice after having to buy a new washer last week). When the contest was announced, I had quite a few people bring it to … Read more

Secret and not~so~secret crochet!

So I have finally been feeling alive enough to get back to crocheting today! Here is a pile of yarn I have next to me attached to a few secret projects. I know, I’m such a stinker showing you the yarn and not the project, but sometimes you just have to wait! Here is the start of something I hope to have ready to share with you by the end of the weekend. I LOVE making a linen stitch with … Read more

Just minutes ago, I was uploading and tagging photos to share with you. Some of my yarnie works in progress, and a few other goodies. I popped over to Facebook for a moment to check a message, and saw a status update that changed my plans. The crafty post will go up tomorrow. When I was pregnant with the twins, over 6 years ago, I joined a brand new site for moms, CafeMom. It was my first social media site … Read more

My amazing girls

OK, I’m am nearly in *happy* tears. Almost 2 hours ago I made the girls ABCs & meatballs for dinner ~ I was feeling horrible. There has been some stomach virus working through the kindergarten, and it appears to be my turn. I was feeling so bad, so half~way out of it, that I did something I have never done before. I told my 5 year old girls to eat their dinner, then wash their face and hands, then clean … Read more
