I like reading the five on Friday posts I’ve seen on other friends’ blogs where they just tell you about five random things on Fridays, so here goes! Are you on Periscope, yet? I was hesitant because I don’t usually like watching internet videos. I tend to be pretty impatient and videos seem long sometimes … Continue reading

Advent Calendar Planning
So I’m not busting out the Christmas music just yet, I do wait for thanksgiving before doing that, but I am starting to plan the activities on our advent calendar this year. Each day from December 1st until Christmas Day the boys get to pick an activity out of our advent calendar. Sometimes it is … Continue reading
Newsom Progress
I’ve been working on my Newsom cardigan since March since it hibernated on sleeve island for a while. But, now the sleeves are all done and I’ve attached all of the pieces. I missed an increase after attaching things, so I had a little frogging episode recently, but now I’m almost back to “positive knitting”. … Continue reading
The Great Stash Re-org: Phase 2
Sunday afternoon, I carved out a bit of time to photograph my remaining unphotographed stash. Once I figured out where I got the best light, it didn’t take long to get them all taken. I discovered that I had taken 150 pictures! To make it easier, I made a folder on my computer desktop called … Continue reading

Art Class
Last year, when shopping for my sketch book for Lisa Congdon’s Creativebug class, I bought Cameron one, too. He was with me and I thought it would be fun for him to have a place to draw. Little did I know that he would want to take the class with me after seeing me doing … Continue reading
Oh, the New Year…
It’s the time of year when I re-discover that I have a blog and decide i should post to it. It happens every year, I start out with good intentions and it lasts a little while, then life gets busy, but I do miss having the record of what is happening here & I feel … Continue reading
Craftmas in July
June wasn’t a particularly crafty month for me, other than my trip to Squam, but I’m getting my craft mojo back preparing for Craftmas in July. This idea was born from the fact that we all want to do Christmas and holiday crafts around the holidays, but that’s when you have the least time, so … Continue reading
Making my way…
I know it’s been all sewing all the time around here, lately. I have been doing some knitting and other crafting which I’m going to try to share this week, but all of this sewing has gotten me thinking about challenging myself in some new ways. There are a couple of projects I’ve watched with … Continue reading
