Last night I was up late – working on the auction for the Seth Boyden school – we raised a good amount of money to refurbish our auditorium and had a pretty good time, too! My database worked pretty well, for the most part – there are definitely places where it could be improved but…

Today I sat on my behind for most of the day – math, math, math, math, math. It’s necessary, but too much of it is NOT fun! In addition to my knitting life, I am creating the database for my kids’ school auction (taking place this weekend – come on by and bid on an…

For the past few days it’s been hard to do much posting – sorry about that! I’ve just barely had time to run into a Panera or Starbucks and check my email before I had to rush off somewhere new to teach. After leaving Alabama on Sunday I drove to South Carolina where a group…

It took me a while to find my way here today – it’s only 4 miles from my motel, but I got stuck behind a train on the way. We don’t have a lot of freight trains in NJ – the trains we do have tend to run on trestles over the street or in…

It’s spring, and the wild turkeys seem to be coming out of the woods. Here are three that I saw behind the library in Woodstock, GA the other day. And another Wild Turkey that’s been seen in these parts, too. I do a KILLER wild turkey call, a very little known fact, and for some…

After a wonderful evening at Dunwoody Yarns showing off the hats and talking about methods of wiring and finishing hats, I was pooped! The ladies in the class were SO kind, so attentive and really seemed to grasp all of the concepts so quickly. I discovered later that many of those attending were also teachers…

I’m here – just a hop skip and a jump from The Whole Nine Yarns, where I taught last night. Taught is a grand word. I lectured – or rather, I blathered on for a few hours, wheezing and trying hard to get a good breath. This standing up thing is rough, sometimes! As those…

I’m at my cousin’s house – the kids have gone to school, Deb’s at her school (she teaches) and I’m here alone, watching CSPAN and returning emails. Soon I’ll be off in Atlanta traffic, but for the next 3 days I only have teaching gigs in the evenings, with my days free. I ended up…

This has been a fun, fun, fun and wild trip so far! Purly Gates, as I wrote, was a hoot (even more so because it was just down the road from a Cemetary – something I don’t think they’d thought of … – but it was just the warm up for Main Street Yarns. From…

I arrived in Atlanta just in time for Rush Hour – something I’d heard shouldn’t be missed… After spending what seemed like several days on 285W, I arrived in Marietta and checked into the Drury Inn. I am in LOVE with this hotel, and I will be certain to look for others when I’m on…
