It’s not because I’m against other countries I’m not, I’m just US first because that is where I live. I have been since before Trump was re-elected and here’s why. I see buying from your home country first, the same way as you putting on your O2 first to be able to help others.I wasContinue reading “Why US Made?”

You SHOULD Have more than one Project at a Time
I’m an advocate for having more than one project at a time. I currently have 5 projects that aren’t packed. I only have a couple more that are and if they weren’t I’d have less going overall. I had to fill the gaps. Gaps? That’s why we’re here to talk about how to have moreContinue reading “You SHOULD Have more than one Project at a Time”
Brick and Mortar Hat and Mitts Spotlight
Other than having a great set of mini skeins that I wanted to use, I don’t remember how this set was born.I love fall. The colors especially, Mom had given me a set of mini skeins that were fall colors and they were waiting for the “perfect” project. I never found one, so I designedContinue reading “Brick and Mortar Hat and Mitts Spotlight”
Stitching in Transition or for Extended Travel
As of the writing of this I have been working on projects that I had thought enough about ahead of time to put into my transition bag for about 6 weeks. I thought we’d at least have a contract on the house that we are selling by now, but we don’t. I am running outContinue reading “Stitching in Transition or for Extended Travel”
Fall Traditions
Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. It has been since I was a child. It might have something to do with my birthday being in fall, I don’t know. I also enjoy Halloween, not the spooky parts so much or trick-or-treating, I was in middle school the first time I did that. It’sContinue reading “Fall Traditions”
Starbucks and Wool Yarn
I have a theory that if you can afford Starbucks, Dutch Bros or something similar on a weekly, daily, basis, that you can afford to stitch with 100% American wool yarn. I hear so many saying that all they can afford is acrylic and those of us who speak out against it are classist. I’mContinue reading “Starbucks and Wool Yarn”
I Find This Interesting…
Stitching is a hobby for the majority of first world people. I understand that some have made it a livelihood, but for those of us who it’s something to fill the time, something to do, a way to make personal gifts etc… Why? Why do we say things like…I crochet/knit too slowly.I hate swatching!I wishContinue reading “I Find This Interesting…”
Do YOU have a cleaning routine?
And I don’t mean that you routinely avoid cleaning, routinely have someone else do it or routinely ignore it. I mean a real routine where everything in your house is cleaned at least once a quarter. Just once every three months! I’m not talking about cleaning all the things every week or even every month.Continue reading “Do YOU have a cleaning routine?”
Applied I-cord
I enjoy an I-cord edging but really don’t like it as a cast on or bind off in most pieces. I find it too restrictive. If, however, it is added, applied, after the piece is finished, knit or crochet, it can move with the piece and have more applied as needed to get around corners,Continue reading “Applied I-cord”
Meal Prep that works!
I personally have only done a “meal prep” project once, with a friend. While that part was fun, it didn’t end very practically on the actually eating side for my family. I like meal prep that has flexibility, predictability and a meal or two that can be put on hold. If you are a householdContinue reading “Meal Prep that works!”
