Am I ready for full-on fanciness? A little while ago, I found a shop on Etsy called Sticker My Journal that has cute seasonal and monthly sticker sets. So I bought the October/Halloween one. Will I be able to figure out what to do with all of these stickers, or will I stick them all… Continue reading Basic Bullet Journaling: Am I Ready
I’m down to two projects at the moment, my Ghost Knitter’s shawl, and a start on my Bone-a-Fide hat. The Ghost Knitter’s Shawl (Ravelry link) is coming along. I still have doubts about the stripe colors, but am getting more used to them, I think. Or maybe I will wind up giving it to someone.… Continue reading Wednesday WIPS
My SIL’s Christmas Elvis mittens are done! The pattern is called Elvis Presley, (Ravelry link) and is by Lotta Lundin. I used Knit Picks Palette in white and black. I used less than a skein of each to do this pair of mittens. I’m happy with how they turned out! Also, I have to thank… Continue reading Mitten Monday: Elvis!

That’s when you are documenting what you do, writing up your task lists, checking off completed tasks or marking those that need to be carried forward. It’s what the index and the month setups and so on are there to organize. Of… Continue reading Basic Bullet Journaling: Day by Day
The yarn for these socks is Urth Yarns Uneek sock in the Tigress colorway. The yarn comes in two pre-wound balls that would result in much longer socks, I got bored of it at the point you see here. And then my Mom absconded with the rest of the yarn! I didn’t use a pattern… Continue reading FO Friday: Tigress Socks!
This license plate pretty much sums up my long weekend with friends in Wisconsin 🙂 I met up with a bunch of amazing ladies for visits to the sheep and wool festival, a trip to a yarn shop, and assorted other adventures. The festival was amazing – a much bigger event than I have been… Continue reading Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival
