Sneaky, Part I
To start us off, the charming Lorna's Laces Solemate in Magnificent Mile. (I've run off to Washington to look at lovely water and hang out with other members of the Visionary Authors and work on plans for future books. While I'm gone, I'm showing you sneak peeks of half the [...]
I’m Off
I'm headed out today for the Visionary retreat in Washington. And I am, wonder of wonders, going out a tiny bit early and having two whole consecutive days wherein I have no book work to do (it's all been sent off to the designer, I'm more or less done at [...]
Shocking, I’m Sure
Bright and early Monday morning, I have to roll myself out the door and off to the airport (more details on that Monday). I'll be gone for a while, and there are a whole host of things I really should be doing right this very moment to make sure that [...]
Bottoms Up
Last Thursday found The Boy and I at an interesting event. It billed itself as a mixology class/showcase for OYO products. We're fans of OYO (stop by when you're in Columbus, and then walk next door to Brother's Drake Meadery for some really yummy drinks), and we've been known to [...]
Off to a Great Start
So, we thought we'd turned off the pipe leading to the outside faucet. We really really did. Then, we opened the outside faucet to let it drain and to keep it from freezing. Now, we did this after it was already super cold, so no water came out of the [...]
Rhymes with Yarn
So I have a confession. I've been playing a game of chicken with the laundry. I somehow decided it would be much more efficient to wait to wash knitted socks until I had a whole load full. Have you looked at a sock lately? Even for the big footed among [...]
Preserve, Part II
Really, this is very easy. So easy I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking. Ready, here we go. 1) Juice several of your backup lemons. I usually need about one lemon per jar, and in this case I'm doing 5 jars. 2) Cut the tips off [...]
Preserve
It's freezing cold outside today, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to hole up at home and make something yummy. Today's plan is preserved (or salt cured) lemons. I made these last year and have fallen completely in love with them. They are delicious in any sort of vegetable [...]
Not That Powerful
So it seems the sock, the pale blue, leafy, spring-tastic sock, has some limits to its magical powers of winter banishment. This is what I woke up to this morning. That's one of my office windows. This is another. It's a wee bit brisk out there. And gray. And windy. [...]
According to Plan
This is going awfully well. Awfully well indeed. I have a sneaking suspicion this yarn (Chubbie, by Vice) is going to become one of my favorite fat sock yarns. This is especially good news, since the sad closing of Schaefer Yarns has meant that my beloved Nichole is going to [...]
