Off With His Head! I just watched the beheading of Charles I of England about 4 times. I get that way when I have a history tape or DVD, I watch it over and over and over again. Poor Charles. I have to admit that the period of English history from the end of Elizabeth’s…

I AM 14% WHITE TRASH! I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box. Take the WHITE TRASH test at Fuali.com I’d have to say this is…

I’m Back! With Gifts! I don’t know why I let days go by without writing! I’m very busy working on the calendar, which is a great deal of fun, but as I’m sitting at my computer for hours upon hours you’d think I’d take the time to write! First of all – thanks so much…

Wear Orange I feel voiceless. I feel that the US media, with precious few exceptions, isn’t covering the big story. I feel that free speech is in danger. It’s an odd time. So I’m wearing an orange ribbon – anyone want to join me? I’ll send these out for cost – which is about 63¢…

The Good, The Bad… I received the kindest email yesterday from a person who’d bought my book and squirreled it away. She finally got around to reading it recently and felt empowered and supported by my main theme – there is NO wrong way to knit. Thank you so much, JF, your email has made…
