I am crazy busy right now. There is just not enough time to do everything. I will be leaving for the Knit and Crochet show (AKA ~ Chain Link) tomorrow, and once I am settled in a bit I will start sharing more about it all with you. But for now…crazy busy. I still have to finish up the top I am wearing on Saturday (this was a victim of my unexpected medical issue that caused me to lose close … Read more
The girls turned 7 on Sunday. I have some snaps to share with you to show our festivities. Plus a little bit of yarnie stuff at the end of the post. 🙂 I think this was the day before their birthday. Doug was so proud of them! For their birthday breakfast, banana pancakes with real maple syrup and fresh strawberries. Yummy!! Here is Birthday Girl Kyla ready to party! And Birthday Girl Vada is all ready as well! Like I … Read more
I will try to catch you up on the goings~on of the past couple weeks. I don’t remember when this was, but the girls were having a cute little tea party. I love Vada’s little pinky sticking up. I know I shared with you when the girls were going outside to make art. Here is the portrait of Kyla they made. When I went out to bring them lunch, Kyla was laying on the driveway and Vada was tracing her. … Read more
This is what I begun to type at 8pm last night with the intention of putting together a quick Wednesday Night Round Up for you: Did you watch House? I did for a bit. I remember the one with the blogger who was blogging from her hospital bed. I thought she was a bit nuts. Yet here I am, in my hospital bed, blogging. No worries, it just seems that my infection from a few months ago has come back, … Read more
Sometimes something happens that makes you need to speak up. To stand. To shout. To throw open the window and scream “I’m mad as H@!! and I’m not gonna’ take it anymore!!!” What I have to say about the contract the teachers of Paterson NJ (including my husband) are being offered, does not fit in with what this blog normally is. So I have posted it on it’s own stand alone page. I do ask you to take a few … Read more
Hello, my name is Jessie and I work from home. Well, I own my own business; I am a freelance and independent knit and crochet designer, and a blogger. I am also the mother of twin girls. Oh, and I live with depression and anxiety, so I’m always at eleven.
I have 5 new posts I am writing for you. Not counting this one. They are all about half way done. I would like to have them all up by the end of Thursday, as they are all Stitchopedia entries that work together. I think *hope* you will love them! Oh, and tomorrow is Wednesday, so there will also be a round up. And because I do not have enough to do, I am participating in Kim Guzman’s Crochet Along. … Read more
That’s right, I’m still an enigma. A little while ago I told you about how I am a medical enigma right now. At that point, I was drinking barium and waiting to go to my CT scan. Eventually the time came, and off I went to my appointment. Due to the time sensitive nature of when you drink the barium versus when the CT happens, these appointments tend to be on time. So I got there my requisite 15 minutes … Read more
Yep, that’s me, I’m an enigma. A medical enigma. I woke up on Monday morning with a little bit of pain. But I went about my Monday as I usually do, I went to the market, unloaded the groceries, and then to work. But the pain didn’t go away. It got worse. And nothing I could do made it any better. Now thankfully I had already edited the post with the pattern I wanted to share with you. So I … Read more
It’s National Crochet Month, so I thought this would be a good story to share with you. Just after I finished second grade we moved to Ohio, where most of my father’s family lived. One of those family members was Grandma Clark, my father’s mother’s mother. We would go to Grandma Clark’s apartment for Sunday dinner. I don’t remember if it was every Sunday, every other Sunday, the first Sunday of the month…I just know it was at least once … Read more
