Crazy Peas (and this week in the garden)

Wed, 06 May 2009 22:58:35 +0000

So on Tuesday of last week they were this tall: Today, they are this tall: I’m pleased that my trellis has held up, even though it is sagging with the weight of the plants. I’ve added some more twine in places to keep the craziness somewhat in check: And the most exciting thing today? We have [...]

Last Week In the Garden

Wed, 06 May 2009 01:35:58 +0000

I took a bunch of pics last week of the garden and yard. They aren’t fabulous - it was cloudy and I’m thinking I’m due for a camera upgrade at some point soon - but you get the picture! Purple irises ready to bloom: White irises in bloom: Hostas: Azaleas: I don’t remember what kind of bush this is [...]

Some Winter Pictures

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:20:17 +0000

Rather than try to catch up on several months of blogging that I just didn’t get to, I thought I’d post a few pictures. Tasha loves the snow. She is built for it. She is downright joyful in it - galloping about, wading it in with her nose down deep to lead the way, even performing [...]

Spring has Sprung, the Kitchen Garden is Begun

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 21:39:21 +0000

I’m told by a couple of my aunts who know about such things that these are flowering cherry trees: We have two in our front yard, right between the sidewalk and the street. They burst into bloom yesterday and I think they are so lovely. We’re supposed to have a big storm blow in tonight with lots of [...]

Knitting Book Review

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:55:52 +0000

I’m enjoying using GoodReads to keep track of books and thought I’d try out their tool to blog a review I just wrote… The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs My review rating: 1 of 5 stars Bleh. This book was somewhat satisfying light chick lit until the end when it tried to be serious and [...]

Colorways Inspired by Anne of Green Gables

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:34:35 +0000

This was the colorway that started my Anne of Green Gables colorways, the Lake of Shining Waters: “They had driven over the crest of a hill. Below them was a pond, looking almost like a river so long and winding was it. A bridge spanned it midway and from there to its lower end, where an [...]

Introducing Color Essence

Lately I’m hooked on spinning.  I first started more than a year ago and I’d spin off and on but the last couple months I’ve been doing a lot of it.  Here are some pictures of my handspun yarn and projects knit from handspun: And my fabulous fiber sources: Green Merino from Jaye’s Little Joys on [...]

Photographer’s Assistant

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:59:37 +0000

So yesterday was a lovely sunny late afternoon and I noticed that my Ravelry page was lacking pictures for a bunch of projects so I gathered a bunch of stuff together and got my camera and went out to the front porch.  Tasha came with me since she comes with me everywhere and I put [...]

Anne of Green Gables and Life in General

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:45:01 +0000

Well, it only took me two years but I have finished recording Anne of Green Gables!  It’s a bit embarrassing that it took me so long but I’ve had a busy two years with meeting Stephen, finishing my master’s degree, battling Meniere’s Disease, getting engaged and married, and buying a house.  I feel somehow like [...]
