Shaunti Feldhaun’s newest book The Kindness Challenge has been laying on my to-read stack for a little while. I pulled it out this past week. I’ve wanted to read it ever since I got it. I just haven’t. Maybe because part of me wants very much to be kind, to live kindness, to grow in […]
Pages and Projects {The Purposeful Planner}
I’m changing up my post name. Instead of Yarn Along, I’m going to give Pages and Projects a try. I’m still going to be talking about books a lot! And my knitting or whatever other project I think about posting. Ginny Sheller decided it was time to quit posting her Yarn Along link-up due to […]
Yarn Along {Never Unfriended}
Here are three fun facts I posted on Instagram last week ~ 1. Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. 2. Mozart was 4 or 5 years old when he created his first musical compositions. 3. Apples, peaches and raspberries are all members of the rose family. What’s your fun fact of the day? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• […]
Yarn Along {Outlive Your Life}
Back in March I finished up a couple of pom-pom wreaths and I took these pictures. I really enjoy making these wreaths. {DIY for a pom-pom wreath in this post here ~} I enjoy blogging about the wreaths too….it’s just having time to! {I never, never get all the projects and ideas done like I’d […]
Yarn Along {Once Upon a Time Storybook Bible}
Isn’t this camper pillow the most fun?! It’s from my sister’s shop over here at Sew a Fine Seam. I snagged it {not literally}{well, not in the literal pull-a-thread kind of snaggy way} while we were in Ohio because it was the perfect gift for a friend. I love the springy colors and all the […]
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 {The Magnolia Story}
Currently opening the covers on these……………….. And currently on my needles……………… I was in the library and spied a copy of The Magnolia Story. I’ve seen the book pop up online a lot and I’d had a friend tell me she listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. I’ve watched part of a couple […]
Yarn Along {Word Writers James and a Rag-Tag Pom-Pom Wreath}
Showing up around here in our books and yarn categories……. A little progress on this dishcloth! Do you use essential oils? I have for several years now. I use Young Living and I really love them. I also highly recommend this Reference Guide. I think there is a mobile version of it available as well. […]
Yarn Along {A Wife’s Secret to Happiness}
They’re Finished!!!!!! I’d do cartwheels if I was capable. It was fun to make this pattern again. I packaged the mitts up and sent a Valentine package off to my friend. After I had fun snapping a few pictures. I was quite glad I remembered to take pictures. I would have been annoyed when I […]
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 {A Lot of Books and Pictures}
This is Renae’s knitting. She made a dishcloth pattern a couple of years ago and recently pulled out this bulky chenille type yarn and she’s working in a dishcloth, following her own pattern! I keep seeing her knitting on top of her desk and finally grabbed it this week for pictures! This stack of books […]
Yarn Along {Sweater Wreath and The Daily Grace Co.}
A quick look at colorful knits! I finished two plummy-raspberry colored dishcloths. When I spied this bright ball of variegated yarn in the bag, as I dug through it, I had to grab it and all its cheerfulness. I have a start on a bright, cheery dishcloth! All tucked up nice and neat in a […]
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 {Fingerless Mitt Begun}
I started this fingerless mitt project. I put it on my planner to begin them and I’m happy with the progress I’ve made. It’s definitely easier and the pattern makes more sense to me than the very first time I made one. I tucked my finished mitts on the bottom of my coffee table […]
Yarn Along {Made to Belong}
I find myself caught in an intermingling of Christmas decor and Valentine’s. I put away some of my Christmas stuff, but this dear nativity remains as well as my Christmas trees. I love the sparkly lights. LOVE, love, love them. I saw these yarn balls somewhere in InternetLand and made a couple. I have a […]
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 […]
