I’ve been knitting and crocheting like a mad woman lately. I want my patterns to the best I can make them before I post them. But in the mists of all that, I got a little commission from one of the lovely ladies at my grocery store.
Well, I guess it’s going around. Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea was rather sparse on Sunday due to people being sick. It was just me, Jenn (yea!!!) and Jenn’s daughter Katrina. Ingrid acquired a new mug. I fell in love! It’s even a little dimensional. 70’s fun!
As usual, I’m a bit late in posting these pictures. We had a wonderful time visiting family in Beverly for Thanksgiving. So much fun in fact, that I frequently forgot to pick up the camera. Ooops. We stayed with my cousin Christine, who hosted a small Thanksgiving at her apartment. Afterwards Tom, her boyfriend, kicked everybody out of the kitchen so that he could clean it all up. Vada popped in and asked if she could help, and amazingly he … Read more
Lots of monkeying around here lately. We are working on sock monkeys for the current Craft Hope project. These little guys will be going to children who lost their homes in the Texas wildfires. Our contribution started out with these 4 cute little girls.

When I started him, there were so many other things I was working on, that he kind of ended up on the back burner. Life took hold and he spent most of the last year yearning for my attention. If you remember,the hexagon blanket was for Vada, and the octagon is Kyla’s. She … Read more

We got our JCPenney gift card! We all had a great time shopping for kid’s clothes. So. Much. Fun. I received my $100 gift card from JCPenney that I told you about the other day. Talk about timing, the UPS guy was leaving as Doug was getting home. So then we excitedly hopped into the car and drove off to the mall to get some kid’s clothes! For free! Kyla and Vada were all ready to go buy some pretty … Read more
