I know, this counts as two posts in one week! However, I didn’t want to detract from my new Mourning Dove Shawl design – and yet, there is so much more I wanted to talk about! It’s the middle of summer and yet I just finished a bulky cowl for this winter. I was making […]

Independence Day 2018 (with Stars & Stripes)
For those that live in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebration. It was a good time to spend with family, concentrating on the positive. It was incredibly hot on Wednesday here in Wisconsin – close to 100°F but we also had extremely high humidity. The combination of the two […]
Top 10 March (2018) Events

It’s an annual event with […]
Giveaways update
I realize I haven’t posted any giveaway listings in the last several weeks. I apologize. Summer just has too much going on and I’ve felt I need to spend more time outdoors, with my family and crafting … not necessarily in that order. Someday in the future I may post them again. What I’d really […]
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 25
I’ve only said this about a million times … but I love giveaways. Blogs and corporate websites are willing to give up or sponsor some fun item to send to someone else. What a concept! All it takes is a bit of time on my part to find and enter them. This has been a […]
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 23
I love how Little Chick can take plastic and wooden toys, dolls, a few scraps of fabric, and even things like pencils – and just by a little bit of imagination turn them into an environment of play. “Can you come to my castle?” “No, I can’t come to your castle.” “I need to go […]
