I'm exhausted but I will toss an update out quickly. Cozy House Curios I've been working on a commissioned priest doll to be given to the priest himself. Except for the ironing he is completely done. I will take nice photos tomorrow but I'll put up a few here so you can see: I'm also … Continue reading Monday Updates

Quilting and Lightning
I'm stitching away at a crib quilt. I always say, "I don't have enough time to hand-quilt it; I'm just going to do it on the machine," but 90% of the time I find myself stitching by hand anyway. Why do I do it? I guess there's something therapeutic about placing each stitch, even if … Continue reading Quilting and Lightning

The first two went to Emily, the owner … Continue reading Dormition, Roses, Wool, Miniatures, and Clouds
Yarn Along for August
[regular blog post at the bottom below the Yarn Along post] So these are some of my recent projects. All of these went into the shop (except that last in-progress photo) but only the miniatures are left. I do like making things people enjoy! Of course, if it's not enjoyable for me then it's hard … Continue reading Yarn Along for August
Recent Storm Photos
This first set is from last night's storm to the SW of us. I was lucky in that it was nearly stationary for the 2 hours I stalked it. The people under it were not quite so lucky. Some photos from previous days:
