Cone-free Doggie

My husband and I took off Sputnik’s cone, ZenTube, and bandages off yesterday. He was nekked for little bit, but we did put his regular collar back on him, of course. Cone-free doggie, at last! Since the cone has come off, he’s once again curious about yarn, but there’s improvement. I inadvertently used natural fibers […]

Dog v. Yarn and Something Cool

The battle of Dog v. Yarn is getting better. Sputnik is still curious about what I’m doing with string, but has learned, with the back up with a spray bottle, that yarn is a not a toy. I’ve also been sticking to synthetic fibers as not to entice his nose with natural ones. That’s another […]

Christmas Memory Lane

I’m still working on that Mara Penny Taste of Home Color! adult coloring book, and came across a page that stirred a lot of good memories. Let’s take a walk down Christmas memory lane, shall we? These ornaments remind me of my grandmother. Every year on Christmas Eve the entire family would meet at her […]

Sputnik, Destroyer of Yarn

I would like to introduce everyone to a our new dog, Sputnik! He’s a Great Pyrenees/Labrador mix, hence a “pyrador,” and is six months old. Sputnik is going to be a BIG boy. My husband and I got him from LaMancha Animal Rescue in Unionville, Pennsylvania, USA, not far from Coatesville. LaMancha is a beautiful […]

When Coloring Meets Knitting

I love adult coloring books. I really do. To be honest, I’ve been working on that more than knitting right now. I’m still knitting, of course, but I need to give my hands something else to do at the moment, so coloring it is! I got Taste of Home’s Color! Winter 2017 coloring book by […]

My First Sweater: A Look Back

See that person up there? Yup, that’s me, modeling the first sweater that I ever knit. I wore it yesterday, actually, on the recommendation of someone said that I should. So, here’s a look back at my first sweater. It’s Pattern 13 in the Noro: Catwalk 2 book by Jenny Watson. I am often afraid […]

Yowza! Every have a tidal wave of stuff just happen to you and then you get behind on blogging? Yup. That’s me. Still, my fingers have been busy, especially for the LaMancha Animal Rescue Holiday Fundraiser coming up on Saturday, December 3, 2016 in Coatesville, PA. I will have the fundraiser’s flyer at the bottom […]

Halloween at the PA Renaissance Faire

My friend Joan and I went to the PA Renaissance Faire on their last weekend of the year, Saturday the 29th. We had a great time! The wickerman above greeted us as we entered the faire grounds. The entire property at Mount Hope was PACKED. We saw a few interesting shows, like the one about […]

Gnome, Come Home!

On Thursday, my garden gnome that usually sits on my porch, was snatched. Nothing else was damaged or vandalized. I believe whoever took my gnome knew exactly what they were doing. Above is the most recent pictures of said garden gnome. If you see him or know anything about his current whereabouts, please leave a […]

A Semi-Homemade Halloween

I freaking love Halloween. Since my husband and I have moved into our new home, I wanted to decorate for the first holiday that it was really possible for: Halloween. What the end result was a bunch of semi-homemade Halloween decorations that I plan on building on for the following years. To start with, I […]
