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.… →

So Much Yarn!
Last night, Josh went to bed around 9:30. The cats were more than likely snuggled up with him. The dogs were knocked out on the couch. Though I was also tired, I decided to stay up for a little while. There’s just something satisfying and peaceful about being the only one awake in the house.… →

From Pettiness to Words and Everything in Between
You know, the me 5 years ago would probably have a very different answer to this question. Back then, I probably would have said I’m good at: And while I’m still good at all of those things…except running, I’ve fallen off with that, but give me time, I can get good again…I have a more… →

Made With Love
I was sitting on the couch beside my dogs last night. It was a rare event that Millie (the brown one) wanted to sit on the couch with me. Our evening routine is that Ethan is with me on the couch and Millie is with Josh on the loveseat, which sits perpendicular to the couch.… →

Never Enough Time

I can stay up pretty late and not suffer getting up the next morning. Granted,… →

To be fair, I’m not patient about everything. Which is probably why my husband thinks I’m impatient…even though it’s not my fault… →

Selling My Craftiness
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? I’m a crafter. I knit, I crochet, I sew, I make my own note cards. Over the years, I have heard a lot of people tell me I should sell my stuff. And believe me, I thought about it. I even bought… →

Yarn, RAKs, and Kind Gestures
Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone. I’ve written before about the online knitting group I belong to. It’s a community of knitters, crocheters, weavers, and all-around crafty yarn people that live in a whole variety of countries. But we don’t just chat in the group. It’s actually a swap group… →

I Do What I Want
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? Health and well-being today, huh? Well, I can tell you what I don’t do, and that is simply this: I don’t do what I don’t want to do. And I try to drink enough water. Plus I take a multivitamin every day now. After… →

Yarn Friends and Travel Plans
What are your future travel plans? My future travel plans?! Would you also like my address and code to my alarm system?! With that said, I won’t go into specifics about any itineraries that are coming up. But just know, once this summer program that I supervise ends in the middle of August, I have… →
