Say it Ain't So.....6 More Weeks of Winter
The last 2 weeks have brought two snows to our area, and unfortunately I was at work for both of them. As an ICU nurse, I can't just walk out on my patients when the snow starts, so on the first snow, I left the hospital and made a 1...

This Week's WIP :: Maltese Fisherman's Hat
I've been looking for a use for my Noro Iro yarn ever since I got it about two years ago. The yarn is so lovely--greens, browns, blues, purples. It reminds me of a late-Summer meadow with a clear sky above. Turns out, it needed to be a hat. I hadn't made...

Tuesday, I put the last size 1 Kissaluvs on Willow. Now they're being folded up and put away for awhile. It feels somewhat nostalgic, to think of when those diapers seemed so big on her, but I am happy to see her growing. Today, she is 15 months old. rowannrose did a...

Farmers who sell their produce wholesale have at least one thing in common with their buyers: they don’t want their customers to get sick.
