Presenting the Chicken Boots Project Bag by Sew Sew Live. I was introduced to Chicken Boots bags a few years ago and I was very impressed by their quality and workmanship. The owner has shifted her focus from production to pattern writing and was looking for people to test for her. I was so excited […]
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 […]
Several key details differed between last year’s Winter Formal and this one. The weather was better and my kiddo is now a driver. Some things are the same. Josie, his Camp Ondessonk friend, again went with him. She came in on Saturday morning, they spent the day together and then each got ready for the […]
If you ask Mason what he likes to read currently, I would venture to say he’d respond cookbooks. This Christmas Walker gave him one called, Binging with Babish. The author, Andrew Rea, is a chef, filmmaker and presence on YouTube. In his cookbook he recreates recipes from favorite TV shows and movies. Flander’s Hot Chocolate […]
Welcome 2020! We had a lovely and quiet day in these parts. Bill and I went out on a date and saw the film Richard Jewell. For dinner we rang in the new year with our traditional medley of greens, black eyed peas and cornbread. I know my grandma would be proud. So that just […]

My advent projects are complete! My socks took me a little longer than I originally expected to finish up because of the design I used but they were worth the effort and the extra time. I started the sock with little white toes and knit one strip a day for 24 days. When the color […]
This convocation has a back story. Last December I sponsored Zach, a wonderful Navy sailor who was dating my beloved barista, Jessica. They fell in love and she moved away to be near him. Fast forward, they engaged to marry but had to expedite their wedding plan with a civil ceremony so that Jessica could […]
Before Christmas season 2019 ends and all the decorations come down, I want to highlight our ornaments from this year. My 2019 Precious Moments ornament is titled, “Have a Heart-Warming Christmas.” Walker’s is the 2019 Super Mario ornament and Mason’s was the Infinity Gauntlet. It was such a perfect choice for him and consequently, it […]
This was the first year that all the gifts have been placed under the tree as they were wrapped and ready and boy, were the kids ready to see what was inside of them. I am still hoping that one day I’ll be able to make and use fabric gift bags (like these I made […]
