do you have a decorating dilemma?
Do you remember my Decorating Dilemma series? About once a month, I would share a reader’s decorating dilemma and some possible suggestions and solutions. It was one of those things that I enjoyed, but I went through a busy season (probably getting ready for Lucketts or something), neglected it, and then forgot all about it! […]
crocheted mittens & dishcloths
Over the Christmas break, I did a lot of intentional sitting around. While I’m not typically a sitter-arounder, but was much needed and I embraced the slower pace. I didn’t want to be entirely idle, though, so when we weren’t playing a game or doing something together as a family, I pulled out my yarn […]
studio shelf plans
I’m only a few weeks into crocheting and I already have a yarn problem. Many of you warned me about this, but I knew it was coming. It was a foregone conclusion. I felt drawn to yarn even before I had a good excuse to buy it. Now that I have an excuse, well…I need […]

Merry Christmas 2019
Oh, I wish I had a song to share with you this year, but this was a year of saying “no” to things that were too much. Our (almost) annual Christmas song for my blog was something that ended up on the no list. I was pleased with the fact that I was able to […]
five new christmas tradition suggestions…
This isn’t a list of musts and shoulds. I’m pretty sure we all have enough of those on our plate right now and we’re eagerly awaiting the day when things slow down…Christmas is done, the presents are opened, our bellies are full, and we can just have a moment without a pressing must-do or should-do […]
