There is a ritual that has developed in our house. During dinner clean-up the girls want to have a dance party. This probably developed due to that fact that my husband and I both tend to turn on loud music while cleaning. So while the plates are being cleared someone ends up in charge of …
My mom has this thing for scarves and shawls. Once the temperature dips below 70 degrees (not kidding) she starts layering them on. She can be seen wearing 2 or 3 at a time… in the house. Mocking aside… for Christmas a couple years ago I bought her a beautiful, hand carved wooden shawl pin. …
It seems like all things knit these days are being done from the top down… or at least I’m drawn to all the patterns that have been done that way. My Ravelry Favorites list is packed with top down projects. I’ve even been tempted to purchase a few patterns… but can’t actually bring myself to …

Although Fairy’s problems with gluten are not as severe as others, it has made me more sensitive to the plight of those around us that have serious allergic reactions to gluten. Because of that, I dusted off my old 3×5 cards to see if I had a recipe for a gluten free playdough, and sure enough, …
When it came time to make the dogs their birthday cake, I did an Internet search to find a recipe. I shouldn’t have been surprised, but there were a ton of recipes! Most were baked and frosted. As I was trying to decide which one I was going to make, I had a thought. We have 4 dogs; …
NOTE: Although the number 5 is depicted in the applique, numbers 0 – 9 are included on the pattern. So… when could you possibly need numbers in the shape of bones? Well… if you’re: making doggie birthday bandannas anything Halloween related have a little pirate in your life are doing a dinosaur or archeology unit …
