My dear SIL asked me to make her mother a Christmas Stocking this year. As the story goes, her Grandmother made stockings for all the kids. Her Grandmother has passed now, so there was no one to make her Mom a stocking. My SIL (Bean’s Mom) asked me if I would and provided a couple [...]

The last couple of weeks have been a complete and total whirlwind. I successfully completely NaNoWriMo – FIVE DAYS EARLY I might add, in spite of being deathly ill, during the second week. I ordered myself a Nook from Barnes and Noble as a reward. =) Now all I have to do is wait for [...]

It’s 14 days to Christmas and my Christmas spirit is lacking. I’m not sure why really, I’ve gotten all my shopping done, so I’m not stressed. I don’t really know what’s wrong.
We have a small tree this year due to space restrictions in our apartment. I didn’t decorate outside because the patio is on the [...]

It took me 3 hours but I finally got all my words. I couldn’t figure out how to get them all out of their prison. Spit and ingenuity… McGiver style.

So I’m back home now. Christmas is over. The presents are all unwrapped. The lights all down. The tree put away for another year.
And I’m depressed.
It seems that we spend so much of our time getting ready for the holiday season, and in a mere matter of minutes it’s all over. I don’t know about [...]

and then I’m going to bed…
I stole this picture off my sister-in-law’s site. It’s my nephew, Bean (aka Jack) and his dearest friend ( for at least the next 5 years ) Santa Claus. I know he’s too young to realize how special that is, but I do have to say that finding out that [...]

I’ve basically bought everyone Christmas presents like we always do. But this year, even more so than any other year, I have this desire to give away some hand made goods. As soon as I can get my Flickr Wordpress plugin working properly, I’ll show you all the FO’s that I’ve done the past couple [...]

I was digging through some of my old archived patterns and found this ‘Oldie, but Goodie’ in my stash. In the spirit of giving, I thought I’d dust it off and share it. Hope you like it.

I’m sure that no one out there would believe that I’m never seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Well, it is a true statement. But I have to say that last night, I saw almost all of it. Honestly, it’s a decent movie, but there was something about Mr. Stewart that got the heck on my [...]

Here are a couple of scarves that I was commissioned to make. I got the yarn for them today and got them both complete by midnight (11/29). At this point, I’m just waiting to hear if my patron likes them. I believe she is wanting to give them away as Christmas presents.
In the mean time, [...]
