Dash
The plan went something like this. Dash off to Chicago after work on Friday, hang out during the day on Saturday, see a concert that night, zip back home Sunday in time for a nice leisurely evening. This is a perfectly viable plan in the town you're going to and [...]
Going going…
I just went to package up this morning's out going books, and realized I'm down to only a tiny handful of copies of Rabble Rousers. Tiny like a dozen. If you've been wanting to get one, this might be the time. I don't have any plans to reprint these, so [...]
Quickie
I'm sure that all of you have perfectly organized, tidy, ordered lives. The sort where you have time to undertake intricate craft projects. The kind that take weeks if not months of dedicated, focused attention and result in achingly beautiful finished objects. You seem like those sorts of folks. Me? [...]
Dream a Little Dream
As some of you may recall, earlier this year The Boy and I headed out to our local picturesque abandoned greenhouse (every well equipped town has one). We were hunting for photoshoot locations, and we snapped a few pics of some lovely pink mitts while we were there. I let [...]
Tis the Season
I fear you may be getting tired of The Chez Violence Parade of Herby Goodness. But alas, it's not all knitting all the time around these parts, and lately, this has been what I'm up to. So, under the My Blog, My Rules dictum, it's what I'm inflicting on you. [...]
Pin Me Down
So let's talk about blocking. You know those stitches that just, by their nature, don't want to lie flat? The ones that have a bit of ripple and curve to them? Yeah. There are a few ways you can go with them. You can force them flat when you block, [...]
More of a Good Thing
The herb salts have proven to be a tremendous hit. The lavender salt may possibly have found its way onto the rim of a glass or two, and the others have been used in just about everything we've cooked since we made them. Given this success, I decided to go [...]
Recovery
Remember the other week when the sock and The Boy and I all trooped off to the railroad bridge? The unfortunate incident? The dreadful dark, sticky goo all over the sole of my pale, delicate sock? Yes, yes it was rather traumatic. The good news is that, with a bit [...]
Chop chop chop
I took a chunk of the celebratory day off (the reward for getting the next mini book off to the printer) and spent it making herb salts. You see, the herb garden is a bit overgrown. This is because we take a hands off (read 'deeply lazy') approach to our [...]
Make a Little Trouble
Remember how, when I'd show you projects over the last few months, I'd say 'yes, they'll be part of a new mini book in the fall?' Well, that mini book went off to the printer this morning! It includes the socks the rail bridge ate, the socks that played chicken [...]
