Thank you to all for your comments about my brother. There are no guarantees in this life and I only wished he had lived his life differently. Enough said on that. Here we are on New Year’s Eve. It was the perfect evening for us, we were home by 10:30. In my long absense from [...]

…Finally! Well, here it is, my pictures and impressions from Stitches West. Not one picture of the event though. I felt too intimidated to take pictures. Pictures were banned in the Market and none got taken at either of my classes. Oh well. The first class was with Melissa Leapman on designing. She’s a great [...]

I’m leaving in the morning on a road trip with my friend Sarah! We’re heading to Kansas, me to visit my family and S to visit friends and go to the Winfield Bluegrass Festival. Hopefully I’ll be posting along the way, but most definitely there will be news when I get to Wichita. Much knitting [...]

Ahhh…the beginning of a nice long break. I don’t have to be back to work until Jan 3, which makes this the longest vacation I’ve had in a few years. The two weeks after my surgery in Oct don’t count. That was not a vacation. Today will be spent finishing presents and getting packages ready [...]

This last week has been a very busy one. Besides much knitting I had a suprise visit from an old close friend. Why I didn’t get any pictures is beyond me but I did manage to find this one. It was taken around 1980. What’s missing is a picture of Tish who was also along. [...]
