It’s been almost a month since I posted and I have pondered a lot whether I want to continue. I don’t really know how many people read my blog or even if it’s interesting enough to continue except to remind myself of…
I can’t help it. I really do feel like I’ve failed, even if I’ve only failed myself (and isn’t that the worst kind). Everything is ‘could haves’ and ’should haves’, and that is no way to good mental health. I can’t keep…

Well peeps, it’s done! I signed on the dotted line (about 30 million times by my count), forked over a very large check, and a few hours later was the proud owner of a new set of keys. Which happen to open my sweet…

My mum’s in the hospital — she had major surgery yesterday.She’s fine — nothing malignant, just a few small repairs — she’s already been up on her feet for a few minutes and when I saw her last night at five she was…
WB had a follow-up appointment with her orthopaedist yesterday. Completely routine. The only change in the drill was that they were going to x-ray her hips instead of using ultrasound, as they did when she was…

First, I must offer my thanks to all of you who left comments or sent e-mails asking whether I was sick, dead or perhaps trapped beneath a fallen refrigerator and therefore unable to blog. The answer, happily for me, is…

Yesterday, while out shopping, my mother-by-marriage fell and broke both her arms. I’m guessing it’s pretty severe because she was hospitalized and will be undergoing surgery any moment now. The DH and his family…

Take a lesson from me. The problem with naming your blog too specifically is that, when you expand your horizons, you're left with an immense feeling of guilt. Bowerbird Knits?! While I have actually knit in the…

This was a super fun knit.I got to knit a easy, soft, non-splitting yarn with a pretty Barbara Walker stitch pattern up the center of the front and back. Best of all, no sewing and short sleeves. The sleeves are knit…

You all know that I have a bit of a sweet tooth, right? Well, the last round of Special Swap had the theme “Sweet Treats” so I just had to participate! I want to say a big thank you…
OK first of all, I must confess, I have no idea why I’m having so much fun with the word “sleevies” but I am. I started on Oblique and I decided to do something different. Since I like to knit both sleeves and both…
