I fixed Ms. Jean’s care package yesterday! What a grand time I had too!!!
FYI…I LOVE wrapping presents at Christmas. Lots of ribbon is the key.
I did the best I could, using tissue paper, so the individual packages are odd-shaped.
I kept all of the cards with the items they belonged to.
Here’s what it looked [...]

This week, I received a prayer request from a friend on Knittinghelp.com. Her 10 year-old son was badly burned in an accident. He received 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 60% of his body and was transported to a Shriner’s hospital for long-term care. He will probably be at the hospital for [...]

Over the last few weeks, I’ve mentioned a project I’m involved with. A group of knitters on KnittingHelp (and a couple from Ravelry) banded together to produce home-crafted items for a fellow KH’er. Mason’s (Knitting_Guy) mom, Ms. Jean, underwent surgery to remove her larynx and is supposed to be undergoing a second round [...]

You may not know this about me, but I am becoming a sports junkie. This is something that has long been in the making.
I remember spending my youth holed up in my room on Sundays watching the Redskins and Broncos — two of my favorite teams. My love for sports extended beyond football [...]

As you might have gathered by now, I mostly knit things for other people. I have worked on a number of Oddball Baby Blankets with a group of KnittingHelp.com knitters. I also try to surprise people with unexpected gifts. No, I’m not this fairy godmother of knitting. I simply like to [...]

I really love living in Florida. I mean, to be so close to this…
What a blessing!
I did not plan on going to the beach though. It’s funny how you think you’re going to settle in for a quiet, peaceful day at home…and then your plans change.
Can you say teens???
Soccer Chick has had friends [...]

Whew! What a busy week!! I am so glad that tomorrow is Friday!
I work at a law firm. Part of our business is real estate, and today we attended an condo auction. I sat, for eight hours, in one room, keeping a watchful eye on the computers. Fortunately, the room [...]

Today was Graduation Day!!! Even though I finished the end of February, the commencement ceremony wasn’t until today.
As any girl would do, I had to prepare. The biggest question? How was I going to wear my hair?
I have thick, naturally curly hair. Wearing hats is very difficult cause I have such [...]

This week, I have been working on the Black Sheep Booga Bag. I have to say that it’s one of my favorite patterns. This one is my fourth. I’m making it for a friend who has been ogling the two bags I made for myself. I finally caved and told her [...]

As you are all probably aware, I’m not exactly the most suave gal. My cooking skills are…well…lacking. Actually, I can’t stand to cook. My cleaning skills are…well…lacking. I can’t stand to clean. My gardening skill are…well…lacking. Just take a look at my yard. I’m sure the neighbors wish I [...]
