Like most women I have body issues. I’m getting pretty good at ignoring them most days, but some days the little voice in the back of my head is extra whiney and hard to ignore. It tells me I’m not good enough, that I’ve never been good enough, that everything I do is a fraud, […]

It is raining, and I am pleased
The rain is just what I needed after the last month. It’s been quite hot here, with highs in the upper 90’s, and my garden is pleased as punch about it and has shown me so by producing tomatoes a full month earlier than normal. Rain always feels like a fresh start for me, and […]
Hard at work
I had to take a break from the collection to work on a different project with a looming deadline that you’ll hear about a little later, but I should finish that up today or tomorrow and I’m eager to tell you about how the collection is coming along! Both pieces in Part 1 and in […]
Garden Planning Has Begun….
… and its taking over my brain! My friend Marge told me about Territorial Seed Company because I was having a hard time finding a seed company online that gave exact planting to harvest dates for every one of their products, but Territorial fit the bill. And now I’ve got a draft garden layout and […]
Breaking Radio Silence
Secret knitting and a week of being away from home makes for very boring blogging. I’ve been taking my 365 self portraits regularly though, and tending my garden. We treated the garden with fish emulsion (and I did some green waste puree on my own), and then I left for 5 days. When I came […]

How does your garden grow?
My garden is up, although somewhat behind OTHER people‘s. We didn’t get to officially plant until the 16th of May, so things that could have been germinating already didn’t even get PLANTED until then. Next year I will get the same box, so I can start peas, spinach and lettuces under a cold frame and […]
The Stash Enhancement Experience
First off, have you ever wanted Addi Turbos to have pointier tips? Read Grumperina’s post and then send in your thoughts to the Skacel company! I’ve already sent my e-mail. Second off then, here’s the STUFF. I bought a 2+ pound cone of 2/4 Highland Tweed from Webs. At the price it was, it was […]
Silk and a Shitload of Stitches
On the left you have the beginnings of the scarf for Andie. I have swatched, washed and measured, and as a result I have cast on 301 stitches! That basically took my whole morning commute, but the balls are all wound, the stitches are cast on, the pattern is even charted, so all I have […]
