Look at all those wonderful comments you’ve all left about my purple rose. Thank you, one and all. I really loved working on this pattern. Well, after I changed to this fabric I did, anyway. I so loved it, that I decided to jump in and stitch another Silver Lining pattern right away. But not […]
But, Veronica, other people took plenty of pictures of the stitching. I thought someone ought to get at least a couple photos of the stitchers, and that someone might as well be me. ;-)
The sock pattern is Sheri’s Lace that I found over on Sock Bug’s blog.

I started this project, according to my notes, on May 10, 2003. There was a big gap in there when I decided that the original fabric was too awful for words, and that it was worthwhile to restart it on something else. But still, three years is three years, and it’s an awfully long time […]
Our decorative peach has started to bloom. Just a tiny bit. There are just a few pale blossoms on the east side of the tree. They’re kind of hard to see in this horrible photo. Look at that dirt below the tree. Isn’t it disgusting? By this time of year we should have grasses nearly […]
I’m finally answering these. It’s been a busy week! One of these days I’ll take pictures of some of my beautiful books to share, too.
Are you currently collecting any authors? Why? We’re on a, uh, limited income for the time being, so no new books for me. But if I could buy books, I’d finish […]
Hm. I really don’t think that Tom would appreciate being called a fairy, but in this sense, he is. Remember the neighbor’s son who I got all that fabric from on Sunday? Well, on Monday morning I was sitting in the kitchen, eating breakfast, minding my own business, when the doorbell rings. You have no […]
It’s knit, washed, blocked, the ends are woven in, and it’s winging its way to Mom, even as I type this. Yes, it’s true. The moebius scarf I knit for Mom is officially finished. Yippee! I was going to make it wider, but I hated knitting with this yarn. It felt icky, and after every […]
Our dear friend Sam sent this to me today. If you find yourself sitting there groaning, don’t blame me. You have been warned.
At New York’s Kennedy Airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, […]
It’s what it feels like. The oldest son, Tom, of my elderly next door neighbor, moved his mom to Colorado a few months ago, and put her house on the market. He’s been here a lot recently, getting the house ready for the new owners by rebuilding the front steps, clearing out corners, gathering stuff […]
I haven’t succombed yet, I haven’t yet bought any Socks That Rock yarn, but it’s not for lack of wanting to, heaven knows. If my dearest Dave gets the contract later this year that he’s up for, then I will be signing up for this new Sock Club. New STR color ways delivered right to […]
