Good morning from Grogu! Baby Yoda is doing well and thriving at Bill’s office. I hit the ground running today. Most Mondays are red beans and rice days where I’m home all day working on laundry, housekeeping and chores but today I had a 7:30 am appointment. Since I was out already, I piggybacked some […]
I found my little extra Christmas spirit this morning on the drive with Mason to school. I asked Siri to shuffle Pop Christmas songs on Apple Music and voila! The tunes met both Mason’s and my satisfaction. After dropping him off, I ran to Starbucks and I was surprised by a love note! The baristas […]
There is always knitting going on behind the scenes even though I don’t share it here all the time. I have been using up lots of yarn bits and bobs from my own past projects and from people who wanted to pass theirs along. It always seems more right to knit for charity with those […]
There is always knitting going on in my house but not all of it makes its way on my blog. This cowl, however, was a really special finish. I bought the yarn in September at my aunt’s celebration of life and I was so happy that it didn’t marinate in a drawer for long. I […]
A few years ago I learned about the Mother Bear Project from the hosts of a knitting podcast I listen to. Every summer they host a Mother Bear KAL/CAL (Knit A Long/Crochet A Long) and every year I have smiled from a distance.

They asked to document the donation with a picture of me to post on their Facebook page but I shied away from that. Instead, I consented […]
My daily pillowcase challenge paid off. By the time Lent was finished, I had completed 50 pillowcases. Let the parade begin. I had 14 pillowcases on the first three lines and eight on the last one. {Line one} {Line two} {Different views of lines one and two} {Line three} {More views of lines one, two […]
Today’s pillowcase has an Americana flair. One a day is paying off. I can see my pillowcase pile is growing.
We Catholics are pretty good at giving things up for Lent but this season my heart was in the spirit of giving. Further, in keeping with my goal of “use it or lose it,” I am choosing to spread love through sewing. The Million Pillowcase Challenge is an ongoing movement to provide pillowcases to local […]
Every year our school adopts a family at this time of the year and each student is asked to contribute a small amount to help make that family’s Christmas a bit brighter. The second graders launched the giving project today with a special dance based on an animated video of Santa dancing. Mason danced his […]
