So, I’m a little, ok, massively late with this, but I really wanted to answer the 2/14 Booking Through Thursday question. Have you ever fallen out of love with a favorite author? Was the last book you read by the author so bad, you broke up with them and haven’t read their work since? Could […]

So it’s February. And it’s snowed. Again. And there isn’t enough tea in this world to keep my hands and insides warm. So, in honor of Project Spectrum, I took a leisurely stroll through last summer’s flower pictures and put together a Fire themed collage. Can Spring get here just a little quicker so I
I’m very nearly done with the Lil’ Devil Baby Hat. Just need to weave in the current ends, and then make the horns. I confess to a certain level of trepidation for the horns, as it involves picking up stitches in a triangular shape, supposedly above the ear flaps, but doing this in a hat
I had a rather lovely, fairly productive weekend. Saturday was my mother’s birthday, and we did a little girl’s afternoon out to the Skillin’s annual open house at their Falmouth greenhouse. Mom found a really cool Greenman to replace the eagle decoration that came with her garage, and I bought a new oxalis to replace

Considering the age the author, this is quite a decent book. The plot is extremely quick; it centers around the vampire Risika and

I was finally able to spend some quality time working on my Sunset Quilt, one of the two projects I have planned for the Fire element for Project Spectrum. I had the idea for this quilt after seeing a picture of a stick silhouetted against a red and orange streaked sunset sky (it’s barely visible
I went on a bit a bender on Thursday night (coincidently while on a bender watching Michael Palin’s Full Circle), and finished the left Fetching mitt redux. I added five rows above the thumb before knitting the cable row, which added the length I needed to get it to hit my knuckles where I wanted
After a rather pathetic run of January reading (I can read three books in a week if I really get going), I felt the need to turn to some comfort reading, so out came my copy of Robin McKinley’s Sunshine. This book is one of the few relatively recent books I’ve bought (and I bought
