* Having the day off [...]

One of my co-workers has a collection of typewriters. She lugged one in the trunk of her car for months because it was too heavy for her to carry inside. I think I’m starting a little collection of my own. Fortunately, I had a handy Chris to help me carry the latest addition to said [...]

Ta-da!
A close-up of the fabric I used.
I finished a skirt tonight. It’s the Easy Breezy Wrap Skirt from Sew Everything Workshop, a book by Diana Rupp. This is the best sewing book I own, by far. I also have Sew U by Wendy Mullin, and it’s a good one to have as well, but I’ve [...]

I have a skein of natural-colored Cotton Fleece and I’m challenging myself find creative ways to use it all up. I used a bit to knit a small swatch for an art project. I used a bunch more as part of an in-progress baby blanket. Now this cuff. Stay tuned for what’s next.

Shirt: Wiksten-made (yes, I had to splurge! It was worth it! I’ll figure out a way to pay my bills… 
Pants: Target (I can never find a pair of jeans that fit me right b/c I’m petite)

Socks (not in shot): handknit by me out of yarn from here.
PS I am thinking of [...]

I’m having a book sale! I love these books and am hard pressed to sell them, but I don’t use them enough to justify having them. They are all craft books, so I thought I’d offer them to you guys first. All of the books are in very good condition (like new), no bent or [...]

My dinner tonight: tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. I think I may be coming down with a cold :o( But I kinda like this photo: such a simple, comforting meal in the middle of a lot of stuff.
Thank you to everyone who chimed in with a comment or suggestion on my latest conundrum. [...]
