If it wouldn’t fit anywhere else, it’s here.
Before and after Easter, I’ve been in such a frenzy of activity that coffee counts as a meal and I have to force myself to sleep so I don’t get headaches. But the Saturday and Sunday on which we celebrated Easter was a fantastic break in the midst of the crazy. Saturday was Jared’s birthday, … More Joy in the Storm
Jared is out of the house at a retreat for the weekend, and I am at home by my lonesome for over 48 hours. This may not sound like a big deal, but we haven’t been apart overnight in the over two and a half years we’ve been married. This has left me with a … More Treading Carefully
Spring is trying so hard to obey the groundhog here in Ambridge, PA. Did you know that Punxatawny Phil is only correct in his Feb. 2nd predictions 39% of the time? He has a 50/50 chance of being right, and can’t even make that. I therefore tend to be skeptical, but Jared keeps saying things … More Optimism
One might think that the hardest part of being a natural dyer is, well… the actual dyeing. (I welcome any and all puns on the subject, though I defy you to come up with one I haven’t heard before.) But really, although it requires a lot of set up and some careful monitoring, dyeing is … More Automation Vacation
I am a great big geeky dweebhead nerd. I will not engage in the debate about the term “geek” vs. “nerd;” go argue about that elsewhere. No matter what you call it… when I get into something, I tend to get really into it. And I’m not talking about knitting – there is that, but … More Overlap
I don’t think I’ve written any reviews since I started blogging about yarn, let alone since I moved to this URL. But I just came home from finally seeing Dawn Treader, and my thoughts about it are burning a hole in my brain. So to prevent some sort of seizure, apparently I have to tell … More Reviews by Reb: Narnia 3 – Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Epiphany is here. The presents are all opened and put away. The maji have been added to the nativity scenes. Friends are coming over later, and the turkey has had the bottle of cheap champagne very ceremoniously shoved up its backside. I hope you enjoyed our little Twelve Days of Christmas Special. We enjoyed writing … More Shawl’s Eye View
This is Mom, giving you the last of my 3 posts for this “12 Days of Christmas” series. I have a very special friend who is going through a tough time right now….her 18-year old son is really sick with Crohns and eventually had to go into the hospital on Christmas Day! After 5 days … More Nine Blues and Browns A-Praying
And I’m done. Final paper, ready for editing, seen here with the obligatory glass of editing liquid. 18-page paper for Anglican way merited the dry sherry. (I don’t think the alcohol affects the quality of the paper, but it helps with the second-guessing… so when I turn it in I am happy instead of trapped … More I’m Alive
I’m still here, churning out the Christmas presents, burning the midnight oil, writing here while waiting for attachments for my Biblical Theology project to upload. But enough about that. I have been working at a new yarn shop – Yarns Unlimited – for over two months now, and I’ve been saving some pictures of it … More New Second Home
