Monday Musings on Pain and Stuff
It’s a lot harder to do things, to accomplish tasks, to fulfill daily routines, when you hurt. That’s not a profound statement. But it’s one I’ve come to know as true over the last couple of years. It’s nearing six weeks since my surgery. I wasn’t supposed to lift anything over ten pounds for six […]

Hi to You today! 🙂 Want to make a paper flower or two? We did Christmas ones over here. These are the same, just any-occasion paper. January is a good project month. I like making these and they’re easy. They can make me feel just a bit fumble-fingered when I flatten them to glue them in […]
Yarn Along {A Day At The Seashore}
Hey everybody! {Waving heartily!} 🙂 Here’s some yarn stuff that happened last week. Finger-knitting. Find videos on You-Tube if you’d like to learn. That’s what I did.

Yarn Along {My Fringe Hours}
Well, it’s no secret I’ve been a bit nutty over pom-poms. {Come see my pom-poms in this post if you missed it.} Look what my daughter gave me! She made me some pom-pom bookmarks. A Pinterest inspiration idea she found! She said, “I thought I’ve got to make some for Mom, because she’s been all […]

Good Rice
Good Rice. That’s the name of this recipe. Because…. it’s good. It is. And so simple!! The only unfortunate thing is that while my man loves this recipe and eats it heartily, neither one of my kiddos are particularly fond of rice. They may like it someday. They both eat lots of foods they […]
