Last Saturday it was Little Yarn Shop Day. My roommate from college and I met for lunch and some yarn shopping. We had lunch at an adorable French Bistro and had a nice "catch up on our lives" lunch.

Scrappy Granny
A rainy, gray day. Perfect day to finish my Scrappy Granny Afghan made with magic yarn balls. Made up of different weight and material yarn, I used up a lot of half skeins and left overs (yay!!!).

I have also started a … Continue reading Adding Magic

I found myself going online to find pictures of the art, architecture and additional background on the fire. I recommend this book. … Continue reading Book Date
