It wasn’t that long ago that hubby and I would actually pack an extra suitcase of books when we went on vacation. Yep. Seriously. Now we can take 2000 books with us (each) in the palm of our hand. Isn’t technology amazing? I have to say, I was excited when my Kindle arrived, but I […]

Crafting 365-Feather & Fan Scarf

The holidays are finally over! Don’t get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, but I’m quite content to settle down in front of the fire and alternate knitting and napping! (With occasional breaks to be in attendance at the day job;-) I have to admit, I’m not much of a knitter. I can […]

Monday Mini Project: DIY Calendar Journal

The first, all that crisply lined white paper that makes up a typical blank journal. I don’t know about you, but I find it highly intimidating. The second issue has always been what to record. […]

Monday Mini Project: No Sew Pillow Cover
