Back Home! It is SO good to be home – and we have the wildest yard on the block! Ohio was lovely – beautiful – fun – exciting – and the kids want to move there! When we arrived back home, though, the kids were VERY excited to see Butkis and introduce him to Gigi…

I knit weird and I enjoy showing others how to find the joy and intuitiveness within their OWN knitting!
We don't knit to make THINGS, we knit to make OURSELVES HAPPY!
I’m in Ohio – at Put In Bay right now – and using the library computer to post. We’re loving Marblehead – having a great time (Cedar Point was amazing – we opted for the evening ‘starlight’ 5 hour visit and rode every roller coaster that the kids could/would ride with us! On the way…
Rainy Night on SIThe traffic on Staten Island is always pretty heavy, but on a rainy evening it’s scary. It was worth the trip, though, as the women I met at the Muddy Cup were so kind and wonderful! What a great evening we had! I talk about myself a LOT (just ask that student…
Lame-Oh! So I’m sitting here finishing up my work for the day and it occurs to me that it might have been nice for me to mention on my blog that I’ll be at the Muddy Cup Coffee House in Staten Island tonight, visiting with a group of knitters who have invited me to come…
Greyish It’s overcast today – it feels like November and I hardly know whether to wear boots or shoes! Isn’t Memorial Day this weekend? Whatever happened to global warming?

Polarizing EffectWhen I was younger and single, a friend of a friend decided she wanted to fix me up with some Wall Street type of fellow. I was hesitant, but a date is a date so I said, “Sounds Great!” and thought no more about it. When my friend and I would get together to…
UpdatingAt the urging of my husband I finally updted my bio/resume page. Added a lot of shops that I’d neglected to mention, added my books. I’ll wait to update my portfolio page until this fall because I have a ton of stuff coming out and I’d rather just sit down and pound it all in…
KIPMan, when I read Laurie’s blog I have serious comment envy! But she deserves it, she has such a fresh, funny and enjoyable blog – I find myself commenting more there than I write here! Maybe it’s because I’m busy? Old? I wish I had more time to actually browse other blogs, but I have…
Speed Sketching So all in all I lost about 36 sketches. 15 of these I was sending to IK and, after hearing from Pam that I could have until the end of the week, I did some serious speed sketching today in order to get my design presentations out the door and to the PO…
