Believe it or not, I am in need of a 3 month old baby girl. No, I am not losing my mind. I just finished my first item in my new hobby and I need a 3 month old baby girl to model it for me. I am so excited because it turned out so [...]
Ok, I give up! There are not enough hours left in my little life to knit all the projects that keep popping up! For example, have a look at these new beauties: http://twistcollective.com/2009/winter/magazinepage_01.php

Have you ever had this experience? You go into a locally owned shop, the shop owner is not overly friendly, or helpful, and they appear to not need your business by the way their attitude projects outward.

Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to knitting. Some love socks, others prefer lace only, etc. I like a wide range of techniques and yarn weights.

Last week’s Dogs on Thursday post was not one that was planned. Although we did expect the outcome eventually, it was not welcome. Anyway, this week I can post photos of Ebby’s first experience with swimming. While on our trip last week we were able to visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina. If you [...]
This was not the post I had planned for today, but today was the day Blazer needed to leave us. He had been with us for 16 years, outlived his brother by two years and his body finally succumbed to the natural degradation that is old age.
We got Blazer as a baby from a breeder [...]
