Rhinebeck 2011: The Competition Post

Making Lemonade
It’s been a good long weekend, aside from the fact that I don’t get paid for holidays. It certainly helps in the Getting Things Done department. I found some old patterns that I need to have test knit...

Cheesecake & Chocolate Cream Pie
There is nothing quite like a nice, plump, pettable skein of fresh handspun. I am very sure that I’m not alone in holding such a skein up to my face, smooshing it into my nose and breathing in deeply...

The Giving Time
I’ve been alluding to holiday crafting for a couple of posts now, and I figure it’s time that I hold myself accountable and put it out there. Listing it all also serves the purpose helping me to assess...

Thankful & Then Some
The holidays have a way of sneaking up on you, like stealthy little time-ninjas. I don’t really mind though, especially not when the season has such a tasty start. I LOVE Thanksgiving. Love, love, love...

Friday night I ran straight over to my parent’s house, and after mom fed me, she kept me company whilst I began my first attempts at canning. The directions are so simple, and yet there’s the voice in...

Christmas Came
It’s oh, so quiet. Shh… Shh.. It’s oh, so still. Shh… Shh… My brother in law made my husband a very happy man. In that box was a box full of miniatures, tiles, and hours of D&D man-fun. Yeah,...
