Hello Summer! Two things have always marked the beginning of summer for me: the end of the school year and my birthday. Both happened at the end of last week, and here we are - summer has finally arrived after a very long winter and a very delayed spring. We're once again adjusting to new… Continue reading Let the Wild Rumpus Start

Hand Stitched Necklace Review
As I have hinted at before, life off-line has been distracting as we "wait and see" on a number of health issues. I ended up doing a little retail therapy and purchased a kit from Red Gate Stitchery on etsy. I do not usually wear a lot of jewelry, and when I do, I keep… Continue reading Hand Stitched Necklace Review
Good Mail – part 2
It has been a long time since I've done a partner swap, but I decided to play along with the Chittery-Chattery-Swappery-Swappers group on Ravelry in the Scavenger Hunt partner swap.

I thought this was a great idea, reasonable in price, and I adore her work,… Continue reading Nutmeg Knitting – My Etsy Shop
Sew.
A few weeks back I broke out my sewing machine again, with this box bag tutorial by my side. I got such a thrill out of this little project - similar to when you are knitting a sock and you get to the weird part at the heel and then before you know it, POOF!,… Continue reading Sew.
Big Bad Baby Blanket
I finished this blanket last week or just before. I bought the yarn back in May when Betsy and I went to Webs. I started it, but stopped because I got superstitious... I picked it up and put it down many times, more so towards the end of my pregnancy, but didn't finish it before… Continue reading Big Bad Baby Blanket
Monday Fun
Happy Left Hander's Day! A bit from mental flossHighlighting cool facts:4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed 1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed - 250% more than the normal level. Most left-handers draw figures facing to the right. There is a high tendency in twins for one to be… Continue reading Monday Fun
