Pixie was pretty sure the scone that they brought to the table was for her. I did share. She HAD just ran 3 miles after all.

At Home – Spice Jar/Rack update
Some time ago (2005 I think) I came across a homemaking blog (title of which is lost to time). The article that caught my attention was about making the spice rack pretty. I jumped right into the project wholeheartedly. I ordered empty spice jars and labels. Choose a label design that I liked and got… Continue reading At Home – Spice Jar/Rack update

Workbasket – After Christmas
Previously... It has been a long time and I have missed you all. Every spare moment, I was working on Christmas gifts. Even going so far as taking time off work. It seems like projects always take 2+ times more time than I think it will to complete. Part of the extended project time was… Continue reading Workbasket – After Christmas

Workbasket Wednesday – Knitting Night Treats
Previously in my workbasket Once upon a time (a few weeks ago) our knitting group agreed to meet at my house for knitting night. I mentioned to DSH that I believed that DW kind of liked it when people came over. She said that she hadn’t seen any canapes. If he liked people coming over… Continue reading Workbasket Wednesday – Knitting Night Treats

I found this on my desk one morning
According to their website this is the "World's Strongest Coffee". That was a daunting pronouncement. Does that mean that it is a SUPER DARK roast? Does it mean that it has LOTS of caffeine? Apparently it means both. I wasn't sure if I was brave enough to try it. I usually choose lighter roast coffees… Continue reading I found this on my desk one morning

Christmas 2020
Like all the Christmases past, I was WAY too optimistic. I did start early, way back in October. I knew that the blanket was an ambitious project. I also know my propensity for frogging my projects, multiple times, before achieving success. Knitting wasn't my only plans for this Christmas. There was also sewing, baking, candy… Continue reading Christmas 2020

Christmas 2019 – The year of the Ugly Fruitcake
Christmas for crafters begins much earlier than Dec. 6th (St. Nicholas' Day). I looked back in my project notebook to see when I actually started this year's Christmas sweaters for the grandsons. I had neglected to even mention the project on the index page. On the actual project page, I see 11/20/2019 as the start… Continue reading Christmas 2019 – The year of the Ugly Fruitcake

SweeTango
Not the dance... Just my favorite apples of all time. Sweet, tangy, crunchy. Their season isn't very long each fall, but I wait all year for them to arrive. The first year they were in my local grocery, they were over $2 A PIECE. And they were so very worth it. On the SweeTango website:… Continue reading SweeTango

Laguna Seca -Day 8
Awoke to the last day of the trip. This morning started as most had, with a run. With no set direction in mind we set off, turning here and there as we came to an intersection, enticed by interesting looking historic homes. For fear of another graceless fall, I hadn't brought my camera phone. The… Continue reading Laguna Seca -Day 8

Laguna Seca – Day 7
This morning, during the morning run, I did a gravity check again. As before it was because I was distracted and not watching where I was going. I was trying to look down a side road to see the front of an interesting looking building. As I gave a running step off the curb, my left… Continue reading Laguna Seca – Day 7
