I have had these two pieces of a pillow cover done for a while, well since January to be exact. All I needed to do was to felt them and sew them together. Yet, I waited. Felting has always made me nervous, and now I find, for good reason. Today I threw these two pieces …
I am considering doing something totally insane. I mean REALLY crazy. Like lock you up in a padded room nuts. Only in my case, it would be padded with yarn…. I am considering cataloging my entire stash. I have done something like this before. I cataloged my entire book collection, all 3087 …
Today was one of those weekend days that seems to go on forever. The weekends are the hardest for me to deal with Tech Support being gone. He is usually gone during the week normally. But then I would have him home all weekend making me tasty things to eat and cuddling. Oh, and mowing …

I keep not wanting to go to crochet group and then go knowing that I would regret not going if I didn’t. Seriously, they are my prozac. I feel depression trying to edge in on me and I know that I need “my people” now more than usual, but it also makes me just want …
This is what my weekend was about: It was all about babies and friends getting married and drinking and eating. This is why I love to visit Chicago. It holds most of those nearest and dearest to me. Even the newest ones are …
