Welcome to the third day of my Flashback Friday Kickoff Week! Ahh…this was a wonderful memory! Running for chocolate! My niece and I participated in a 5K Chocolate run that was held in Chicago. I remember the day was warm but had a beautiful cool breeze that swept off the lakefront. The route was nicely laid…

Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!: July 28-30th
Welcome back to my Flashback Friday Kick-off Week! Now we are starting to get into the heart of my journal with the very start of my year – my birthday!

Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!
Hello followers and any new readers, Welcome to ‘Flashback Friday Kickoff Week”! This is the first entry from my year-long art journal I have been working on that chronicles my life over the past year. I am finally back after a long hiatus from the blogging world.

My First Hand-Spun Yarn and more!
So back in August this past year, I started on a new hobby that set my head spinning. You guessed it! It is spinning! No – not the cycling type of spinning but that type that makes yarn… So here it is my first own hand-spun, hand-dyed little creation! Being that this was my first spinning project,…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 3
Talk about a super-long time to wait for a conclusion of a story! As I talked about in the proceeding post, I was MIA for over six months. I hid myself away from the world and took a very long hiatus from all things digital. Now that I am back, I thought I shouldn’t leave…
Still Here
I find it ironic that every couple of months I fall off the face of the planet only come back to apologize and vow never do it again. LOL Life is never that simple. I realize this is one of my longest breaks ever since starting this blog and I feel bad that I have not…
What in the world has she been doing all this time?
Time to fess up, I have completely ignored both of my blogs for over six months. Yikes! has it really been that long? Seems like yesterday that I was posting regularly; happily typing away… Now that some things in my life have finally calmed down, I thought it was time to put some effort into…
New iPad Mini Cover and Placemat project update
Hello knitters, I took a little break from my spinning project to re-focus my attention on some knitting! Since my last knit post, I was working on creating these lovely round Summertime place mats. Unfortunately, due to a rough start ( I had started and ripped out the first place mat at least five times before I met…
My head is Spinning!
It’s not what you think. My head is not spinning. I am not joining a spin class at the gym and I am certainly not watching spiders spin their webs (creepy!). So what is spinning then? I have been spinning my own hand-spun yarn, that’s what! In my last post, I alluded to working on…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 2
As promised, I am continuing from my last blog post which regale’s the time we spent in South Dakota this past May. Our trip through the Black Hills of South Dakota was extremely memorable. On my husband’s birthday, we climbed to the top of the highest peaks in the hills known has Harney Peak. Harney’s Peak…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 1
It’s been over 2 months since my trip to South Dakota in May and it still feels like yesterday when we were exploring those majestic Black Hills. My husband and I traversed three states and close to 1,000 miles to experience the beauty of South Dakota’s most alluring area. Clean air, fresh pines surrounded our little…
Sock it to me and more placemats!
Hello all you knitters out there. This post is long overdue since I have been back from vacation for well over a month now 🙂 I hinted in my last post that I would attempt to knit my first-pair of socks. I am happy to report – success! Not only did I complete both pairs…
