I finished Fannie Flagg's The Whole Town's Talking and I really enjoyed it. The final chapters were melancholy, but I really enjoyed reading about the folks of Elmwood Springs again. I would be happy to pass on my copy to anyone interested-have post office, will mail! This week I am reading two books. First is … Continue reading Yarn Along

Moutarde Tas Part Deux
I love my original Moutarde tas project bag so much, I made a second one! My first one (pictured above) was made with Patons Classic Wool and is a sweet size. I use it often when making small crochet and knitting projects (fits well in my work bag). I had trouble picking up stitches (this … Continue reading Moutarde Tas Part Deux
Yarn Along

As I looked at the hooks, I saw Buttercream Thick & Thin yarn and was reminded of All … Continue reading Scarves & Cowls Oh My
Stash Busting for Charity (again)
One of the charities I like to give to, is Hooking for the Homeless (which is located in New Hampshire). If you follow them on Facebook, they post links to (usually) free patterns including knitting, crocheting and sewing. If you are local (which I am not), they also have meet ups to sit and create. … Continue reading Stash Busting for Charity (again)
Weekly Weigh In

I love this cookbook! The chicken was yummy (even if I did overcook it a tad). I did try to offset my poor choices … Continue reading Weekly Weigh In
