You're still coughing from that last bout of bronchitis. You don't like doctors and hate taking medicine so you've just ignored it. You think vitamins are for sissies and don't do any good. You had a twinkie and a cup of coffee for breakfast and you're thinking a cheeseburger would make a convenient lunch. You … Continue reading Health

Knock, knock…
I really do have posts coming, I promise. I've just been so wiped out from being sick that I can't string enough coherent thoughts together for people to want to read them. Meanwhile, here's something that made me laugh tonight: (Thanks, Janelle!)
Wee *knitted* hats
Another batch to mail to Calvin's Hats this week. I made a lot of them while I was on vacation last week and sat down to embellish them this afternoon and evening. I know the photos aren't great, but I wanted to get this posted tonight. (To see some scale, look at the last few … Continue reading Wee *knitted* hats
Days 4 and 5
Sick, sick, sick. Duchess had a touch of the stomach bug Sunday night, Ribby had it Monday night and Ginger had it Tuesday night. Wednesday night I went to bed wondering who was next. Me. Unfortunately, I got it far worse than any of the others. I spent all day and all night Thursday (and most … Continue reading Days 4 and 5

Someone promptly dropped an unopened jar of taco sauce on the tile floor in the kitchen. Oh well. By 9 PM we'd finally had supper and I got the sleeping arrangements settled. I … Continue reading Guess where we are!

New Sewing/Yarn Bag
I put this together yesterday afternoon/evening out of some gifted upholstery fabric and odds and ends. It's very sturdy and entirely lined. It's huge! I overshot on the measurements. On the other hand, because it's so big I don't have to "dig around" looking for things. There are three inner compartments of different sizes. I … Continue reading New Sewing/Yarn Bag
