Review: Metropolitan Knits by Melissa Wehrle

2013 Year of Making in Review

Sayonara 2013!

Looking back from this side of the new year, I can’t say I’m sorry to see the end of 2013. Early in the year, we thought my Dad was dying of congestive heart failure and I spent months silently grieving that I would loose him. It turns out his pacemaker wasn’t working as it should, […]

I’ve been using these leftovers for the Neverending Afghan, but I just keep adding to the box and the afghan is now well on […]

Updates and Stuff!

So hi! Haven’t blogged in a while…. with some pretty good reason. There was lots of health problem build up and then in August I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It’s more fun than reaching into a bag of angry cats trying to figure out what I can and can’t do, having more bad days than […]
