This week I gave formal notice to my HR department that I plan to “retire” on May 1st. Yes, I know, I’m not “old enough” to retire. That’s the beauty of starting work when you’re six. Well, ok, I was a little older than that. But still, it ain’t bad to be able to retire […]

I was so pleased for Lark when she announced her engagement on New Year’s Day. I knew I just had to make this heart for her. I had the pattern, I had the yarn, and now I had the inspiration. I even had lavender from my garden that I’d dried earlier this year, just waiting […]

The weather forecast projects highs in the low 30’s for the next week. Well, I guess that’s an improvement from the 20’s. One of the bad things about living in the Salt Lake valley in the winter is the inversions. The cold air in the valley gets trapped by warmer air above, trapping in all […]

After sadly neglecting my VLT scarf for a couple of weeks, I finally was able to pick it up last night and work on it a little. Of course, after being away from it, I had a little trouble getting back in the rythmn, and had a couple of boo-boos. One was a row of […]

Some months ago, I scooped up a skein of Sockotta in the LYS bargain bin. After arming myself with “Simply Sensational Socks” by Charlene Schurch, I embarked on my first pair of top-down socks (my entire prior sock experience was one pair of toe-up anklets).
The nice thing about this book is that it has a […]

Thursday night my husband and I went to Cannella’s for dinner (500 South/200 East). As of last week, they’re now open Monday-Saturday for dinner, instead of just the weekends. And now that they’ve expanded into the area where Junior’s Tavern used to be, they’ve got a full bar, complete with bartender. The dinner menu is […]

After seeing the darling Boston Terrier stitch markers that Jacquie bought, I had to go visit the Wee Ones website for myself, and I ordered a set of Merino Horned Sheep stitch markers. They came today - and like Jacquie’s little doggies, I just can’t believe how incredibly detailed they are for being so tiny. […]

Is that they keep multiplying. This is the first six of the hats for the Children’s hospital, and I have one on the needles. I was hoping for ten.

I snitched this Meme from Katherine, because it sounded fun:
