june at noon

Over the last year I’ve seen so many beautiful variations on the granny square blanket, and I keep commenting that I really ought to start one as a background project for times when I need a break from drawing or a quick something to keep my hands busy for a few minutes here and there. [...]

I’m still working on prints and taking it easy while I mull over my list of goals for 2011 (coming soon!). So I thought I’d switch gears here for a little bit while I’m occupied with the same old, same old. I’ve been determined to finish prettifying the stones I collected over the summer, and [...]

Happy holidays! While I’m taking some time away from blogland, I’ve got posts scheduled to run on my regular routine so that I can show you the Christmas gifts I wasn’t able to write about during the year. Enjoy, and I’ll see you on the flip side! It seems I always end up making jewelry [...]

Happy holidays! While I’m taking some time away from blogland, I’ve got posts scheduled to run on my regular routine so that I can show you the Christmas gifts I wasn’t able to write about during the year. Enjoy, and I’ll see you on the flip side! My huz just loves the TV sitcom The [...]

During the times I was not stuffing turkey or sweet potatoes or cherry pie (along with a plenitude of other things) into my mouth this weekend, I did a few quick crochet projects. Ali has been making crocheted slipper socks lately, and I had planned to make some sort of slippers for my kids for [...]

Back in June I mentioned that I might try making some crochet covers for the seashells I collected on our summer vacation. I did manage to do a couple, but I realized that the beautiful shells were too pretty to cover up, and the not-so-pretty ones weren’t really worth the beautifying effort. (I feel the [...]

This week I’ve been working on small things. Literally. There are more crochet-covered river rocks: Mini prints of my sewing pin photographs: And more tiny quilt necklaces: And now that I’m wrapping up some of these small bits, I’ve got embroidery on the mind. These are all some of my very favorite things, so I [...]

I’ve got a little collection growing…. This one is on its way to a friend: And I can’t tell you about the rest just yet. They might be for me. They might not be. Hmm, hmm, hmmm…. Have a good weekend!

This was a very productive “work” week due to the fact that I had a lot of small, manageable goals to tackle. It’s always nice to feel accomplished once every so often! In addition to the second set of bean bags, I also finished two Eye Spy bags for the lovely Ali. They are the [...]

We’ll just be monkeying around this weekend. Hanging out and trying not to blow away in the stiff, Fall breeze. And doing some snuggling, too. (There is one more little monkey, but due to a nose shortage, he is currently awaiting a finished face.) Have a good weekend, whatever you’re up to!
