I realize that I haven’t shown you any pictures of the sock yarn blanket in a while. It continues to grow under my nurturing care, just the camera wasn’t behaving all that well. (It’s amazing how many more pictures one takes when one has a camera that is working properly!) The last …
Today was absolutely beautiful here. It was one of those days that reminds me why I moved to this often grey and rainy island in the first place. To take advantage of the lovely weather we went for a family walk. Malcolm loves to run in the field: Weezy was doing her best modeling pose: …
My top searches for the past day: bog pack of toilet paper, yarn ribbon cutting, deathwa clan, african seed beads, martha stewart books I LOVE that it was a “bog pack” of toilet paper!

I have several thank you’s that I need to make for people who have donated sock yarn leftovers to the massive undertaking that is my sock yarn blanket. First off there is Tini, who sent me a great package with some sock yarn, beads and some candy. Always a good combo! Then I also got …
Since I am pretty sure that she doesn’t read this (at least not in anything close to real-time) due to having an extremely active toddler in the house, I feel that I can post pictures of these without any major repercussions. It might even be a good thing given how the UK and US postal …
