Mom and Daughter Tops

Well, not really.  We don’t even match or coordinate or anything.  But we don’t clash.  So there’s that. It’s kind of hard to see the details on the one I made for souricette 1.  It’s navy blue cotton/spandex jersey from

The Never Ending Home Stretch

It feels like I’m next to done.  I’ve knit two fronts, two sleeves, and a back.  All that needs to be done is sew everything up, pick up and knit the borders, and sew on a button or two.  Weaving

It snowed. It was actually the first time this year where we got enough of it to justify shoveling.  I went out for pictures, just a little too late.  The sky was so dark and then, it turned this beautiful

Photo Monday – The Frozen Brook

When I went for that walk through the woods, I followed a brook.  Mostly frozen.  You could still hear it.  It’s amazing how much noise it still makes and it’s amazing how soon the song fades when you move away.  But

The Unblogged aka The Crappy Pictures Post

I love doing crafts with my kids, I do.  I spend loads of time pinning stuff we could do together.  I try to keep a few supplies ready to go at a moment’s notice.  And when I know we’ll have
