Third post in as many months, such a huge difference from the old days when I had to contain myself to keep from writing two in a day, and that was because I didn’t want to be one of THOSE bloggers who blogged every time they went to the bathroom. But this? My own little pace? Infrequent is an understatement. I could have lived a thousand lifetimes between now and the last time I posted. Instead, I had an uncle…

Second Post of the Year, Yipee!

Second Post of the Year, Yipee!

Aren’t we just flying? Two posts this year already, whee! The trip to Maryland was fine, and in hindsight, timed perfectly. We missed their snowiest winter of all, and so I sit here in California, typing, while our friends there are completely snowed in.

Meantime, I don’t think much of my family were the types to write down all their…

Leftover Yarn

Leftover Yarn

I haven’t been working on any major crochet projects lately. The last thing I completed was a blue, gray, and white baby blanket for my sister’s friend, but I completely forgot to take a photo of it before I sent it off. Still, I haven’t stopped crocheting altogether. I just haven’t started anything big because I have so much leftover yarn from my earlier projects. So I’ve started practicing a few things with the leftovers. For instance, here’s a sampler…
