Veteran’s Hands

I’ve been working on a new story; it’s not yet complete – or at least, I’m not 100% happy with it yet – but I really wanted some feedback on the idea and how it seemed to be progressing so far. It started out as a descriptive exercise for one of my classes – somethingContinue reading “Veteran’s Hands”

Double the Fun!

So, I had to give a speech about using knitting as a form of therapy for stress, anxiety and depression this morning, and in preparing for that I did a quick rummage through my “unfinished projects” knitting basket. Now, I love to knit – there have been times when I knit hours and hours in oneContinue reading “Double the Fun!”

Bow-Tastic!

It’s 33° out! Winter is definitely here. I’ve got a big speech to give today – all about how knitting is a great form of stress relief!

Feeling Cheetah-liscious!

If you said yes, then THANKS, I try (lol). If you said no, SAD FACE…don’t worry though, I’ll keep trying to impress you! IContinue reading “Checks outs my arts! BAM…”

The Ha-Ha Machine

I’ve always written to work through things; I may not have all the answers when I’m finished (or even any answers at all), but at least I get a story (or a poem) out of it! Last month was a crazy time for me, and writing this helped me figure out a lot of whatContinue reading “The Ha-Ha Machine”

An Iconic (Or Not) Entry Into The Blogosphere!

In the past couple of months, I’ve become an avid blog reader. Well, maybe “avid” is too strong a word – I not infrequently read several amazing lifestyle blogs, including A Beautiful Mess, Abby’s World and …love Maegan. I love what these women do; I’ve gotten such amazing ideas for DIY craft projects and recipes, in additionContinue reading “An Iconic (Or Not) Entry Into The Blogosphere!”
