It rained all day yesterday and was just super gloomy, but last night, the clouds parted and created a beautiful sunset.  This picture doesn’t even do it justice, it was breathtaking.  It was quite nice to go outside and just stand and look at the sky for a few minutes.  The last few days my … Continue reading →

Let this be a lesson to you, sewing can be dangerous.  I don’t know if you can tell, because I spared you the bloody scene, but somehow my finger came between the sewing needle and the fabric tonight.  I just noticed that I have a matching hole on the backside of my finger.  That’s right, … Continue reading →

In all of the craziness of the last couple of weeks, it appears that I have forgotten to share with you at least one finished object.  Yes, my Jaywalker sock has met its match… I finished the second one just after we re-did the bedroom and just before I left for my week in Colorado.  … Continue reading →

Spending a week in the mountains was really nice.  It was a beautiful escape and has given me renewed energy for my job and life in general.  The weather was amazing!  Above are the Maroon Bells which we went up to see one evening just before sunset.  A couple of folks went up there for … Continue reading →

So, I took a little trip to Colorado last week for work, and the one time I tried to post, Typepad was down.  Go figure.  Things are really busy here with trying to catch up on everything from a week out.  For now, I’ll share this picture and I’ll be back soon with the rest … Continue reading →

I’m staying home today because we are having bedroom furniture delivered by IKEA!  I realize that IKEA is not thought of as a furniture store that delivers, but they do when you order a whole room full of it.  The thing is, if it gets here in time, I’m going to try to start putting … Continue reading →

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they don’t match.  Picky picky.  These are the two socks now awaiting a mate due to the dreaded second sock syndrome.  I finished my first jaywalker sock yesterday.  They had stalled about halfway through, making it even better to finally finish one.  I was a good little knitter and cast on for … Continue reading →

I haven’t really been participating in Project Spectrum, but I have enjoyed seeing what other people have discovered as they have emphasized certain colors.  I guess it’s just rubbing off on me because tonight I looked around in my sewing room and everything around me seemed to be blue.  It started with the blue on … Continue reading →

So, I can’t resist the temptation to tell you about my latest project, which means I’m going to have to trust my friends (only the ones who it needs to be a secret to) NOT to click on the extended entry.  If you are one of my friends from college (and your name is Jennifer, … Continue reading →
