Books of 2019
I read over 60 books in 2019 (picture before the end of the year). By read, I mean I either actually read them or listened to the audio version (which I count as a book read). Here are my favorites of 2019. Biggest Surprise to Me: I have no idea why, but I resisted reading … Continue reading Books of 2019
Cropped Raglan Cardigan
I finished it!! Actually, I should be more embarrassed than proud as I started this in June. This happens with me. I get near the finish line and lose all steam.

I had purchased Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend yarn during a sale. I thought … Continue reading Evolution of a Crochet Shrug
Yard Sale Redo
We needed a small table for next to our couch, just to hold a drink, put your phone down, etc. As I'm trying to reuse, reduce, refashion, I opted to look at yard sales. I found this table for $5.00. (picture taken after I started sanding, the top was in a horrible state) I did … Continue reading Yard Sale Redo
