Here was last week: Here is the finished hat: Although Miss ME is wearing it, this is going to … Continue reading Interwoven Finish
Interwoven Hat
I'm taking a break from two sweaters I am working on, a knit raglan cardigan and a crochet shrug. I have long loved Two Of Wands patterns and decided to pick a pattern to challenge myself. The only cable project I have done is a small knit coffee cozy. So, I chose the Interwoven Hat. … Continue reading Interwoven Hat
Toaster Sweater
I have long loved the Sew House Seven Toaster Sweater. When Simplicity came out with a similar version, I bought it during a sale at JoAnn Fabrics. Then months went by and I never had a chance to sew it. Now that the kids are back in school, I set to work. I had two … Continue reading Toaster Sweater
Tablet Sleeves
Life has been busy lately. That along with working on bigger projects means no posts lately. I had some time recently and made two more tablet sleeves. The first was for a friend who has a Kindle fire. I used the cute book fabric I had from my stash. I took another bloggers advice for … Continue reading Tablet Sleeves
Playroom Makeover
When we moved in 6 years ago, we made what had been a formal living room into a play room. We painted it a bright yellow, put up lots of cute decals and had toys spilling every where. It served us well. Now though, the kids are older, the room looked beat up and they … Continue reading Playroom Makeover

Evolution of a Crochet Shrug Part Two
Good morning! This week I made some nice progress on my Make & Do Easy Breezy Crochet Shrug. I completed the sleeves. I have say, I had to rip out the first sleeve a few times due to my misreading the pattern. Actually, it was as if I had pattern blindness. I couldn't figure out … Continue reading Evolution of a Crochet Shrug Part Two
Evolution of a Crochet Shrug
On my YOP list was Two of Wands Movie Night Cocoon Shrug. Although I plan on making it, as I went through my Pinterest crochet board I realized I have A LOT of sweaters and shrugs from Make & Do pinned. I had purchased Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend yarn during a sale. I thought … Continue reading Evolution of a Crochet Shrug
Book Date
It has been a while since I did a book date. Last time I wrote, I was in a reading slump and hoping The Johnstown Flood would break the slump-it did! Since that book, I have read the following: Class Mom: I really enjoyed this book! I had many laugh out loud moments. Looking forward … Continue reading Book Date
Lucky
I am so lucky to have a local book store named An Unlikely Story. I've written about it before. It is my happy place. To go and browse books, have a coffee or lunch in the cafe and be able to hear authors speak is a joy. Today I went to a luncheon for one … Continue reading Lucky
