I have two projects going right now, my Powdermill cardigan and my Mom’s mittens. Alissa of Snakes & Cranes and I started Powdermill on January 1st of this year as a KAL. It was going strong for a while, then I set it aside for other stuff. But now I’m going to get it finished!… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I’m happy to report my bird and squirrel feeding efforts are going well! We’ve had all kinds of visitors to the back yard over the last few weeks. Having a good variety of food out for them is helping I think. We mostly get smaller birds, though occasionally I see a cardinal or crow out… Continue reading Livestock Report
For those that celebrate – Happy Thanksgiving! For everyone else – Happy Thursday!
The new doorway curtains are done! Did my devil-may-care pattern-less method work? Eh. Sort of. Original lace curtains. Problems – no heat retention, easily see-through at night. New knitted curtains. Solved: keep out the cold better, not see-through at night. Sounds good, right? Problems – not quite wide enough. Substantially too long.

Still just plugging away at the same two projects, but making progress! I’m about halfway done with the second curtain, and ready to be all the way done 🙂 Hopefully this week.

Same two projects as last week, but a bit more progress 🙂 The first door curtain is done, and I’ve got a little start on the second one. I was debating free-forming the “pattern” on the second one, but decided to try to make it more or less match the first one. So #1 won’t… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
One of the great things about our new house is the yard. It is pretty vast for a house in a town. I am plotting and planning for some gardening, but that is a next year thing. What I can do right now is set up some bird feeders! I love feeding and watering birds,… Continue reading For the Birds
With my Halloween Cats sweater done, I’m focusing on two smaller projects before jumping back to a bigger one. The first is a pair of Latvian mittens for my Mom for Christmas. I really only have the cast one and a little bit of the cuff done. So a bit more to do on these… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
