I’m sorry I haven’t been around lately. It’s not just the blog; I’ve been avoiding Facebook, Ravelry, and even real life. I’ve been fighting depression for decades, but these past few months, it’s been kicking my ass. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the kids, the dogs, and the chickens, some days I wouldn’t even get [...]

Moving Sale!
Ahhhhhhhhh! *gasp* Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Yarn Love
I want to sing to the heavens: I’m in love… I’m in love… I’m in loooove!

My love affair with Jen’s yarns started [...]
