It may be the cabin fever induced by the foot of snow that has driven me inside for the past 10 days, or possibly the natural winding down of the year bringing on unwanted self reflection, but I’ve been in a funk lately. Saturday was a pity party, and everyone was invited. My thought process [...]

More snow. More hot chocolate. More hand knit socks and boots. More hat hair. And more gauge problems with new hats.

December has hit and as much of the crafting community has realized, Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Winter Solstice/ Kwanzaa/ Festivus is breathing down our necks, and it’s time to get busy. Along with the joys of having my own living space comes the adventure of being soundly broke for the month, and instead of rooting around on [...]
