I took myself in hand this morning, decided that come hell or high water I’d get those buttons sewn onto my blue cardigan.
You know what I discovered? The button holes aren’t evenly spaced.

Not only do I obviously need to remove the […]
When the folks at elann.com wanted to borrow my finished Gloriosa sweater for some modeled shots, I naturally said yes. They’d donated the yarn for the project, after all. They just got in a shipment of the lovely Peruvian Sierra Aran yarn, are doing a special, and have the photo of my sweater featured on […]

Other than this brief introduction, I’m going to do my best to imitate a photo blog today. Click on the images to make them bigger.
Okay. Can’t resist. You get some description, anyway.
Row 1. The bird had flown full tilt into a sliding glass door. Knocked out cold from the impact. I’m happy to report […]
Welcome to all who are here for the Sweet Summer blog tour, hosted by Karen and her Cotton Spice blog.
