Used to think it was because of the rock fields but this winter it’s just Bare of snow. Here it is the first of December and not a flake yet. Nothing to speak of in the forecast, either. I hope it’s not waiting until the last week of Dec when we have a trip planned! [...]

Okay, got it done. That was easy! One 14″ square, sewn into a tube and fitted over the oatmeal box. I rolled the bottom under just enough to be able to glue it to the edge of the rim & let that dry. I used a knitting needle to remove the plastic rim at the [...]

I bought a skein of Red Heart’s attempt at worsted weight self patterning ‘sock yarn’. It’s really awful stuff for feel, rough.

Here’s my RedHat group having tea with the cast of Arsenic and Old lace. We did avoid taking any Elderberry wine, however! lol It was a fun tea party on the stage and watching the play afterward. An enjoyable afternoon and evening. Long day, tho, as we had to leave at 12:30 and didn’t arrive [...]

Our assignment for art this week was christmas cards or small matted paintings for the December sale at the galleries. I decided to do cards. I can use them myself if they don’t sell. Evelyn seemed to think that people buy lots of cards there so I may pay for my supplies! I was running [...]

SPI is burning logging slash and there’s a low pressure cell here now so all this smoke is staying low and we’re getting to breath it today. Chance of Rain tomorrow is up to 80% so even if it doesn’t douse their fires it should clear the air a bit, I hope. The small pictures [...]

The retreat went well as usual! Denise is a great organizer and we had a fun weekend. Raided all the yarn shops in the area and were met with open arms and lots of complimentary stuff. Most all of us took a part in Middleford yarn shop’s second annual knit fashion show. I modeled a [...]
