We got a bit of sad news yesterday: we will not be able to have the home birth we planned. Not because it would have been unsafe, but because of other factors out of our control. We’re very disappointed and a bit angry, and still processing. (Baby girl is still healthy, exactly on target for … More Breakup Knitting

Better late than never for an update, says I, and a week after Thanksgiving I finally have a few minutes in these wee hours that I should be sleeping that I can, instead, share our recent vacays with you. The holiday was spent mostly with my family (aside from a marathon of Lincoln and Abraham … More Thankful Thursday and Fall-with-my-credit-card Friday
This post has nothing to do with knitting or yarn or spinning or very much else. I am doing something I’ve never done before, as a participant in the blogosphere: I’m writing a response to someone else’s blog. The response is to my new blog-friend Carson T. Clark’s post called “According to NPR, I don’t have … More On the Concept of a “Relationship with God”
It’s like Shark Week! But with hats… so not quite as exciting. Or at least not as much blood, or mercury-laden piscenes. My hat plan for Sweetwater Holiday mART was very well thought out. My logic: I’m cutting my hair really short right before winter. Meaning that even if I wanted to do my hair … More Hat Week!
Sweetwater submissions are finally done and in. I have a couple Christmas commissions to finish up, and one more I haven’t started yet, but I can finally breathe a little – I am going to make it. One of my categories of stuff that I’m submitting to this art show is a bit of a … More A Little Mane of Sunshine

I thought it was just going to be in the Sewickley Herald, but the paper copy Barb W. saved for me is from the “Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.” You can read the article here. (The best … More In the Post
Saturday, Noel and I manned up for men’s health. Or, well, mo-ed up. For the prostates! Because, as Noel put it, men shouldn’t have to go through this alone. So the traditional moustaches for mo-vember were met by our mohawks. What’s the deal? I’ll be honest, at first Movember seemed like a great excuse to … More For the Prostates!
Better late than never, welcome to November! Which is, as some powers that be have declared, Men’s Health Month. Or something. If men can spraypaint their hair pink, and football players can wear ghastly pink trainers and caps, all for the sake of curing breast cancer, then women can totally participate in supporting men’s health. … More Movember, Moustaches, and Mo…?
Added this edit to the post below, but it deserved its own little note in case anyone misses it. I just found out that my rejection letter from the arts center was a MISTAKE. Good grief! Well that’s comforting. Everyone who’s requested things from me already, THANK YOU, and the items are yours (unless you … More Evaporating Lemons?
