I’ve come to the conclusion that cotton fibers are smarter than I am. I know that I’m spinning a fine yarn and it does take longer to spin fine yarns than fat yarns. On the logic level I’m covered. It will take longer to spin this yarn than it would to spin yarn out of [...]

This cotton fiber disturbs my calm. I spin yarn to produce calm, to maintain calm. Do I need to spin a yarn that disrupts that sweet serenity? I suppose I do.  I suppose deep down inside of me, deep deep down, in the darkest recesses of my soul there’s a part of me that must [...]

“We come in pieces. Take us to your litter.” My husband said “Someone took all the sunshine and tubby toast and left these dead bodies.” Lexi said “Ok, my kitties.” Josey said “Why don’t they have tails?” Greta says “…” And that about sums it up doesn’t it?

How do I say this? Do I just confess and get it over with? Do I delete the pictures, kill the witnesses and pretend this never happens? Do I ‘fess up?This is what happens when I’m working.

But I was interviewed for the Stayton Mail (it’s [...]

Soul Calibur marathons really are something special here in the Meyer household. Look at the love between father and son. Here is the boy-child, note his father’s shiny pate in the background. Perhaps this is the very moment where his character says something charming like “Die already.” Doesn’t that just warm the cockles of you [...]

Oh wonders will never cease. I actually have a project full of soft and lovely yarnage to report on. I started this shawl the evening before the house broke. It’s out of lace weight handspun gray alpaca and the pattern has been spawned from my tiny aching brains. I spent way too much time staring [...]

It’s not easy when I’ve fallen out of the habit of daily blogging to get back into it. I am never quite sure what I should be writing about, other than my crafts and my yarn. My kids are cute and my pets adventures are interesting to me, but even I need to take a [...]

You know when you read a blog, and you read a post, and you *want* to leave a comment but aren’t sure what to say, or five people said what you would have said before you got there, or you don’t have anything constructive to add to the conversation– Opal and I know that situation– [...]
