OK. So this blogging thing is harder than I thought. Not the blog part, but the commitment to regular posts. Let me just say kudos to all of those bloggers who stay consistent even when it's summer, and/or they have kids and their kid's friends running through all the time, or sitting on the deck with a fresh cocktail with mint and basil from your...

I finally finished the fabulous drop stitch scarf I started Easter weekend. I found the pattern on Ravelry.com and I am going to miss working with the yarn! So soft and pretty! Great American Yarns Superfine Merino/Silk. Way yum! I'm naming it the Nicki Scarf since about half way through I thought that it would make a terrific gift for my Aunt Nicki...

My mature side almost took over and titled this post "Creative Outlets | Playing with Typography". Then I remembered I wasn't being graded on this so hah! "Don't be a Booger" it is! One of the things I do to get out of a creative rutt, or to stimulate creativity is taking funny sayings or, eh, ummmm, four letter words* and setting them in different...

I came across the word wabi-sabi awhile back and took it as one of my own personal descriptive words. Basically the word means "the art of imperfection." You can look it up if you want, but that's basically the gyst of what I remember.  I think, "How wonderful! There is a fancy word for something that is screwed up." Or maybe not screwed up,...

Or a better name might be, "Make them when you have company or are going somewhere or you are low-carbing it without cheats...for real... so you don't eat the whole pan yourself Bars"! I mentioned that I needed to share the recipe for the bars shown in the background in the photo from my Iced Coffee Break blog, so here it is. Really, so easy and terrific! I...

Good morning! I'm waiting for a bit of troubleshooting assistance on my software for a project I'm working on, so thought it a good time to pop in on my blog and make myself an iced coffee!  Last Friday I made up a batch of coffee concentrate from a recipe I found on a terrific blog, thepioneerwoman.com. I found the recipe and tweeted it and...

Okay, odd title I know. But my dad has always called it "kahkah" which I think he got from my grandma because she always called it that too. Well, actually, she used to spell it until we finally told her we knew how to spell. She used to spell most everything when she was mad at us. Ha! Since just the other day I was saying something out loud and...

So here's the deal. I spend countless hours at the hockey rink, my husband probably spends more, but whatever. Anyway, since I can't sit and do nothing, I decided to take up knitting. But first, here is how that started. I found this listing on Etsy.com for a Felted Tote Bag in a beautiful spring green by Little Projects. To my surprise it was...

If you are an early reader, like the kind that gets here before I am even somewhat organized, or the kind that is curious or what ever. Here is a beginning list of topics that I will be rambling about or highlighting. List of course is random and in do particular order. Photography Design Faith Fashion (or lack there of) Knitting Crocheting Yarn...

Well, against my better judgement (that controls my time investments), I am starting a blog. Mostly because I have all of these thoughts going on in my head. Ideas, quotes, images, thoughts, nothingness. Well where do I put it? I have collected all kinds of lovely journals, handmade, store bought, expensive cheap. But I keep waiting for some golden...
