A Lesson in Yarn
“Something Good” Sunday The lead up to what is “good” this week involves a mini-lesson on a particular brand of yarn that knitters and crocheters covet. The name of the yarn company is Rohrspatz & Wollmeise. The company is based in Germany. I did a quick Google search on the English translation of the name… →

Not So Basic
What’s a skill you consider basic, that most people don’t actually know how to do? I wasn’t going to answer this question today. But the thing I was going to post in its place is better for tomorrow. So I’m coming back to it because I actually need your help with something related to this.… →

A Science Fiction Weekend
“Something Good” Sunday I almost forgot about posting today. Josh and I went to the movies today and we just got home. But actually, the movie we saw is an interesting topic for the “something good” today. Sort of. I’d like to share two things that were good and, I’ll repeat, “interesting” for today. And… →

Chaos and Spam
Is a little chaos actually good for us? I’m a crafty person. I knit, I crochet, and because I do that, I have a lot of yarn. I also have a community of yarn friends on Ravelry that often talk about the same thing at one point or another, and that is…organizing our craft room/yarn… →

Tenderized, But Beautiful
I thought today might be the day that I break my posting streak. As soon as I got up today, after sleeping in just a little bit–no work today–I showered and went to McDonald’s to carb load before my tattoo appointment. Then I went to the grocery store to buy some bottled water and a… →

Fun Fur and a Tattoo
Movie/music Monday Since I have dubbed Mondays as the day I post about movies and/or music, I think it’s appropriate to share the 2nd outfit from the Harry Styles Desk Goose Collection that I’m developing. Sounds so fancy right? As a reminder, it is literally just me looking at Harry Styles’ most iconic outfits and… →

Stash Yarn
Screenshot Saturday My favorite meme? As in, just one? How in the world am I supposed to narrow it down to just one??? A more realistic question is, what are your favorite memes? But I’ll play by the rules today. In fact, I can fit this into my usual Screenshot Saturday category because one of… →

A Goose Called Harry
“Something Good” Sunday This week went by fast. It’s ending on a sad note, in that time is up for my kitty Faye. The signs are there. It’s time for me to make the call to the vet tomorrow to make the appointment to say goodbye to my girl. But, to keep my mind off… →

Golden Girls Summer
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot was saved on July 3, 2021. The summer after Covid. I saved it because that year, my online knitting group returned to holding our annual summer knitting “camp”. We couldn’t have it during 2020 because of Covid and the shutdown. But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →
