Like bees.
We have been a wee bit busy around our household. Typically we don’t do much in September, leaving that time to get back in the swing of things with the new school year. Such has not been the case this September, though! We’ve had friends over to stay and have taken the first of two…

Knitcation: sweater accomplished.
Well, I did it. I knit a sweater over the weekend. To be fair, it was a long weekend. With Kevin and Astra heading out of town, I took the day off on Friday and crafted myself a wee knitcation. Joshua certainly didn’t mind, he was busy with camp, bike riding, and as many video…

Knitcation: sweater edition.
This week, I am creating a long weekend for myself. I’ve got a bit of a personal challenge in mind, so I’m giving myself the time and space for it. By hook or crook, I’ve managed to map out minimal housework, the simplest of meals, and plenty of knitting time. The challenge you ask? Try…

Handmade Holiday
Happy holidays! I was a busy little bee over the last month or so, and now I can finally talk about what I’ve been up to! I’ll try not to drone on and on, but you can always find more info about my knits on their respective project pages on Ravelry. My first holiday finish…

Home.
When we spoke last, I was about to head home from Denver to my sweet family for a trip south to see more sweet family. And that is exactly what I did. Kevin and the kids picked me up from the airport and I came home and unpacked and repacked my suitcase. We got up…

Life and socks.
I keep thinking, I should write a blog post soon. And then something else happens and I just don’t write. It’s been nice to take a bit of a break, I’ve been a trifle inactive on social media as well. But I do miss writing and sharing. This blog has really helped me coalesce my…
