    Empath

    If you really know me, it is no secret that I take on other’s emotions. If one of my friends is hurting, I am hurting. It doesn’t take much to get me worked up in regard to my own issues, but I can go from zero to one hundred mighty quick when someone else is…

  • A Crafting Update

    A Crafting Update

    Life has kept me busy.  Between work and school, I’ve neglected my crafting.  I’ve made a few things that I don’t want to show here because they are gifts, but overall I hadn’t touched knitting for quite some time.  I’ve got projects that need to be finished.  I’m looking forward to getting in my new…

    Finished Object Roundup

    I’ve finished a lot of small things lately, so it couldn’t wait for a Finished Object (FO) Friday. I’ve been on a crochet kick, so I’ve done some quick crochet hats.  I’ve knit up quite a few small things as well, like a dishrag and a squirrel bib.  I finished the blanket I was knitting…

  • Thursday Thoughts

    Today was a good day.  My boss “let the spirit move him” and gave me one of the Mary Baldwin Yeti cups I had been coveting.  I am Yeti obsessed (this makes my 6th Yeti product) and I’m already coveting Yeti’s new spring colors.  So I might end up with one of those in my…

    Much Needed Snow Day!

    Today was a snow day.  I haven’t had one in forever.  It’s now 3:00pm and let me tell you I can’t remember the last time I was able to lay around and be this lazy, nor can I remember the last time I got so many things accomplished.  I finished knitting a cowl I had…
