It's been three years since I've done this so it's necessarily a bit rough. I went for free-handed designs yesterday and today. For my next ones I'll buy some bigger eggs at the store. These were done with what I had on hand. #1 #2 #3 view 1 #3 view 2 #4 view 1 #4 … Continue reading Psanky

Quite Possibly the Worst President Ever
[Life Site News] President Obama took a combative stance during his speech to Planned Parenthood today, pledging his unconditional support to the abortion giant, and, at one point, taking a swipe at pro-life activists who oppose the organization. “No matter how great the challenge, no matter how fierce the opposition, there’s one thing that the … Continue reading Quite Possibly the Worst President Ever
Yarn Along: not-exactly-yarn edition
I haven't knit much lately, just a couple tiny hats (as usual). I've been looking at my yarn shelves and realizing they desperately needed straightening and weeding-out.

I've also been doing the seasonal clothes sort-through and … Continue reading The Monk Who Waves at Planes

They had both been advertised as annuals but I just couldn't bring myself to pull them when the foliage disappeared in December (yep, took a … Continue reading Rebirth
Gosnell’s Sacred Cow
I have gone back and forth about writing a post on the Gosnell atrocities. I start, then stop, can't figure out what to say. What can you say about something so absolutely horrific?
