0s & 11s

All of me is in love with my currents projects but my hands are about to stage a rebellion.  Between the #0 needles for the socks and the #11s for the coat I’m not sure which is causing more pain.   This is actually starting to freak me out a bit…you don’t realize how much [...]

… is it absolutely goregous outside today!  This was the view from my bedroom window, on the fifth floor, this morning, 7:30am.
 
Yes, that is a rather large tree that I’ve always wondered if  it would end up in my bedroom one day…I’ve been watching it for over 10 years now and so far it’s still standing.  The picture above [...]

Since I started blogging I’ve become very interested in photography…the composition of a shot, the lighting, the background, etc. But there are only so many hours in a day.  In a perfect world or if I won the lottery I would be a perpetual student, taking classes in everything and anything my brain could handle.  [...]

Snow & A Baby

Last week I was minding my own business, happily surfing my blog fav waves when this charming little thing caught my eye.  So I dropped everything and cast on immediately.  I had absolutely no one in mind for this (sure Denise), I cast on for the simple joy and pleasure of knitting for knitting’s sake.  And [...]

A Day Late…

…but I really want to be a part of this so here it is…
Feeling and thinking way has gotten me into trouble many times.  Many who meet me misunderstand, the ones who get me, smile with me…
I hope it makes you smile…and think!

Get Thee To…

Stop whatever you are doing!  Put down the remote control, cancel your dinner plans, call a baby sitter…do whatever you need to do to get yourself to a movie theater to see this movie.  Juno is a perfect movie…and they are few and far between…
