April Coffee Cup and coffee goodness confirmed

Finally, took a picture of my April coffee cup. I’m back to a big cup. This one holds about 14 oz. My March cup was smaller about 6 oz. which meant making far more frequent trips to the coffee pot. So, I decided to find another big cup. Of course, I’d cut down from a […]

A start of a new month, welcome to April

Well, it’s a new month. I do have an April cup but haven’t had a chance to take a picture. In fact the past week has been a whirlwind of business. Last night around 1AM so maybe I should say this morning, the new April issues of SFRevu and Gumshoe Review went live. TechRevu also […]

Earth Hour — tonight 8:00 to 9:00PM

Tonight we plan to turn off our lights for Earth Hour. My husband and I do care about our environment and try to do the right thing. We recycle even though where we live we have to drive it to the recycle center because we’re not on a pick-up route. We plan all our travel […]

Spring is in the air…

Last year sometime there was a big thing about rainbow colored roses — horribly expensive and they looked more like […]

Barely enough spoons today…

I really don’t know how it happened. I’ve been doing so well. I even managed with the zine work to actually clean the upstairs bathroom, do the floors, and pick up and organize another big chunk of my fiber stash. I’ve also started the sleeves on my sweater and spun up a spool of singles […]

Another sock nearly done

In between all the other things I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been working on these socks. I turned the heel last night. I was going to knit plain until one inch from top but just switched to 2×2 ribbing since I want to make them a bit higher and I hope the ribbing will help […]

March — coffee cup

I’d almost forgotten it was March and time to move to a new cup. I was so enjoying the February roses and love cup. This month, I’m using (starting today — this first week has been overwhelming) a cup I picked up at the Maryland Renaissance Faire last fall. I fell in love at first […]
