::Memories of a Chalkboard::
Guess what I got from the thrift store? Any ideas? This chalkboard is the beginnings of all my | On the Board | messages at the end of each blog post.

::Gleaning and Cleaning::
I spent this past week off the computer, away from the hook, and digging through every single room, closet, cupboard, nook and cranny! My goal was a thorough de-junking of my abode--which I actually accomplished minus my studio space where my yarn stash resides. (That might take an entire week by itself.) Oddly, this process was a very emotional one for me. Not because I am particularly attached...
::Just Being There::
Just popping in to say hello and show you a glimpse of what is on my hook lately. This is bound to be a...
::Too Many Hats::
I wish I were popping in to tell you that this little baby was finished! But I'm here to show you all the things I have NOT finished...
::Rolling Along::
My rolled swirls are coming along. After much struggling (and still some indecision), I've settled on a soft winter white. But I can't have just white. I always need a little spot of color. So take note of the little felted leaves. They might make these little swirls just right. Now to put it all together--in my mind and with my hook!
::Success at the Thrift Store::
It is quite cold here--turn on the furnace kind of cold. But what a wonderful weekend! My daughter, Lizzie Love, came to visit. We talked, laughed, thrift store shopped, watched General Conference (my favorite weekend of the year!) and thoroughly enjoyed being together. She only lives 30 minutes away, but with our crazy busy lives we still don't get together nearly enough. While she was here, I had...
::Family Photos--Almost::
My sweet daughter, Lizzie, spent the day with me a few weeks ago.
This is a big deal since she married last year. She is very busy with school, work, married life, and her photography. One thing we did between a trip to the thrift store, boutique shopping and eating our favorite food was to take a few shots for my shop.

::Geronimo::
Perched precariously on the arm of the sofa, my 5 year old boy in his tighty whities swings his arms above his head, leaps off the edge aiming for the adjacent sofa and yells, "Trabonabo!"
It took me a minute to figure out what he was trying to say--yes,he was shouting...
Big Baby
In an attempt to encourage potty training, I made Luke a little baby with a diaper and some "wipes" from felt. I was hoping he might register the difference between babies and big boys. So far . . . not working. When I asked if he was a baby or a big boy he exclaimed, "I a BIG baby!!" He's a little conflicted, I guess.
Yummy Yarn & Yute
Here are a few projects I have been working on lately. I still have a bazillion UFO's that I need to get to but I seem to be a little impulsive and sew the next thing on my mind. Adult ADD, I think.A beautiful hat called the Divine Hat because...
