Well, not much anyway. I found a good 3/4 gallon of paint, the color we used in the living room and dining room, stashed away.  I cracked it open and repainted. I made it through the entire living room. That kept me busy for a day.
Then I plotted out my garden, but I still haven’t [...]

In late October my son found some orange seeds that we’d planned on planting 6 months before. I planted the three most viable looking ones and only one sprout appeared.
Since the sprouting it hasn’t grown much, just this side of two inches– I’m almost confident that its a real orange tree sprout and not a [...]

It’s not that horrible, at least that’s what I tell myself. I tell myself a lot of things when I’m sewing, things like “I’m never doing another craft show again.” (Lie.) Things like “This is so not worth the effort.” (Lie.) and “Next year I’m just going to buy gifts for everyone and not worry [...]

I love you– I really do. But we need to get a few things straight:
My dogs will never be vegetarians. I appreciate your sentiment about my animals eating other animals, but they were designed to eat other animals so I’m not going interfere. Besides Greta’s bowels do bad things when she manages to get a [...]

Honestly, I prefer days that are a cool 60 f (that’s 15.5 c for those of you that live in civilized countries) overcast to drizzling, and preferably with a nice chilly breeze.

Last month I had myself a good old fashioned melt down and wound up in front of a doctor. Turns out that pushing all my complex emotions down into a dark seething pit of angst and resentment is not exactly the healthiest way of dealing with anxiety. Go figure.
Through some act of synchronicity I found [...]

The two skeins on the left are from the same colorway as the one on the right.
Superstition from FiberOptic.
I just finished the two on the left (the one on the right is from before.) The new skeins are sock weight, and Navajo plied to keep the colors in solid blocks.
I am also working on buttoning [...]

I really did. I quit smoking. I quit smoking and the universe did not implode.
I didn’t really mean to quit smoking this time around, I bought an electronic cigarette– tried it, liked it, tried an “analog” smoke at the end of the day and decided that combusting tobacco products are so back then.
Which means now [...]

I hate being sick.
Physical symptoms of the flu aside, I get this antsy feeling because I’m not doing anything other than taking periodic swigs of cough syrup and popping ibuprofin along with minimal housekeeping duties. I know myself well enough to know that I am not in the right state of mind to start any [...]
