Through all my walks around Prospect Park, all those picture taking expeditions, I always wanted to spot a red tailed hawk. I’ve seen them a few times in and around the park. They aren’t rare. But nope, not a single…

Three Things
There’s this top I made myself before our trip. There are three tea towels that I dyed almost a month ago. And there’s yarn that I finished spinning a week ago. None of these things felt like it required its…

Finished Yarn
I haven’t been making much of anything lately. I’ve been organizing the family work room (M still says he won’t use it at all but it’s where the computer is so…) My sewing machines aren’t accessible and everything is packed…

Everything On Hold
See that cute face? She’s been home sick for three days (and today is her day off from preschool). She got hit by a virus last week and promptly passed it on to her sister and me. I was expecting…
