Yarn Along {Love Does}
Another week…………..and more books, of course! I started Love Does and All the Pretty Things. I’m about to finish Love Does. It’s a super-easy read and it is fascinating. I’ll admit that All the Pretty Things is a little bit of a hard read for me. It’s not really all that pretty of a childhood. […]
Yarn Along {Word Writers James and a Rag-Tag Pom-Pom Wreath}

Yarn Along {Little Lord Fauntleroy}
Book List for the week! Because of Bethlehem by Max Lucado Technically, a Christmas book, but I just started it and I love it. {It goes with my Christmas wreath that is still on my front door because the lock is broken and the door won’t open. So, it’s all good! 😉 } Max Lucado’s […]
Yarn Along {Craving Connection}
I’ve been using ends and small amounts of my cotton yarn for dishcloths to make these fun raggy-taggy pom-poms. I thought it might make a fun, quirky wreath. The other evening I used all the ones I had and started the wreath. Now back to pom-pomming to have enough to finish it out! I want […]
Yarn Along {Loving My Actual Life}
I’m totally thinking this yarn spinner is the best! It looks pretty. It keeps my yarn in place. I can wrap up my dishcloth and needles and secure with a flexi, stick it in the yarn and it’s all together and good to go! Everyday on display when I’m not knitting! My yarn spinner […]
Yarn Along {The Greatest Gift}

Hooray! I managed to get another set of coasters finished.

This set is going into […]
