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…

Day Forty Two, Creation Forty Two

The day has finally arrived! I final got off the procrastination bus and completed the last drawing for my self imposed challenge “One Zentangle a Day” from the book by Beckah Krahula! I knew going in that I would not be able to truly complete this task in six weeks, but little did I know…

Quick Update and a promise…

Okay readers. Enough is enough. I need to stop knitting and start creating more art! I know I am tough on myself, and I logically know I have been truly up to my ears in knitting projects since April. I just haven’t made my other passion important enough. If you are curious about what I have…

Long overdue update. Plus new first-time sock project underway!

Gosh! I just realized today that it’s been well over a month since my last post! This by no way indicates that I have stopped knitting altogether. Quite the contrary! I have been knitting my nights and weekends away. Last time, I had spoken that I had completed my first lace scarf. Since then, I have been…

Butterfly Art

I cannot express the joy I feel when I see any artwork t my nieces create! I have always loved art as a child which has continued on in my adult years. So often we get discouraged by our peers along the way telling us that our art is “no good” or “You call ‘that’ art?”. Art…

She’s Crafty

Originally posted on Noe’s Happy Place:
What you are looking at is some really talented clay art that my oldest niece, Amanda, made recently. I am especially proud of her crafts. She and her sisters love the new game out there called minecraft. Personally, it’s not for me. But what I have gathered is…

Success! My first lace scarf is complete!

Whoo hoo! In just two short weeks I started and finished my first lace scarf! This is the very same pattern I attempted over the summer, but failed miserably. I learned that hard way that if you use a “life-line” when working with lace patterns, it will save you from having to frog (undo) all of your…
