It’s spelled correctly, really it is.
When my mom was a little girl my grandpa used to call her his “punkin”. When I was little and would visit him he would call me his “punkin”, too. That’s what inspired me. That and the upcoming, hopefully soon, Autumn.
This hat is actually for an Etsy customer, but I [...]
I am on Day 4 on my journey and I have to say that looking for the positive has really made a lot of difference the past few days. It’s never too late to join, hint, hint.
I’d spent hours on Ravelry searching for the perfect yarn for the Sage Remedy Top that I discovered. [...]
Scout has always been a great source of my happiness.
From the way she tries to, quietly, wake me up in the morning – shaking my shoulder lightly and whispering “mum” into my ear.
The unhealthy relationship she has with watching “Scooby Doo”.
Her excitement when we go to a craft shop and she knows she can get [...]
Dexter, in the kitchen.
Dexter, on the dining room chair.
Dexter, under the papasan chair.
Dexter is our newly acquired Siamese. Long story short I met someone on Ravelry and she drove six long hours to bring him and his brother, Prowl, here. Dexter is the quiet, shy type. Prowl is the rambunctious, funny type. But getting pictures [...]
I’m happy to be resuming my “30 Days of Happiness”. I’m just counting down each day. And even though it’s only, technically, been one day, I have to say that I am happy. At least, happier. In every sense of the word. I think it might have to do with this new book I’m reading, [...]
Over at Erin’s blog she started a Thirty Days of Happiness theme. I wanted to follow suit because the past few days, and I’m sure the days to come, have been and will be emotionally rough.
Inside I’ve felt anger, hopelessness, sadness, guilt and fear. Dalton’s death is still too new. Sometimes I coast through the [...]
Today was that day.
The one.
The one I will never forget.
Today was the day that I wrapped my Dalton into a fleece blanket and held him tight to my chest. Today was the day I whispered, I love you, I’m so sorry, I wish I could go with you, You’ll be in a better place, You [...]
I am a little stressed. I stare at the computer screen. Words are not flowing. There is no fathomable rhythm. There is no starting point and no ending. Today is just one of those monotonous days.
You know, the type of day where you just go through the motions. I didn’t ask myself why there were [...]
In the midst of my “holiday” knitting, my “sit back and relax” knitting, and my “you haven’t knit a stitch on this project for at least six months” knitting, I started a new project from this Fall’s KnitScene magazine. I have to say that KnitScene has never had a bad issue. And when I saw [...]
I finished up the mittens as promised last night and I wish it were Winter. That way I’d have a feasible excuse for wearing these roasty, toasty, warm mittens. They are delectable.
Pattern: Bella’s Mittens, (from “Twilight”)
Needles: US 9’s, slightly off the gauge. I knit 16 sts at 3 3/4″ instead of the 4″, but they [...]
