Crocheted (!) Lamp Re-Do
I’m a huge fan of lamps especially the chic and funky lamps that sport shabby chic-ness, coastal charm, southern kitch and usually at a hefty price. You know the ones I mean, mixed colors perhaps topped with a seagrass shade? Umhmm. My ‘old’ lamp had been basecoated in a flat white for quite some time [...]

Birthday Week
Birthday Week is over and I’m exhausted. A new bike came home to live with me, I rode a zillion miles every day. Okay not really but more like 12 or so which can feel like a million. I made it to the beach three days in a row to do nothing more than sit [...]

Chilly with a Certainty of Coterie!
Absolutely CAN’T WAIT to attend The Southern Coterie Summit!!!! I’ve been working on a deadline which other than taking the dogs for a walk or sometimes running a brush through my hair has left me with little time to contribute knitting content— or much else for that matter! Spring has been much chillier than usual [...]

A Trip to the Motherland- aka when I played hooky
I’ve been working a lot lately. A lot squared, more than that. So today I got in my car and headed south. South to the Motherland, south to walk and stroll and pet and ponder. A trip to Ballard Designs of course! It was great to see everything I’ve fallen in love with in the [...]

Historical Knitting Content
Not only KNITTING content but historical knitting content! This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit the Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation and it was truly a wonderful afternoon. A beautiful plantation home left as if it’s occupants just stepped out to admire the view on the marshes, the home was an incredible peek into the [...]

I’m a member of Creativebug and was actually shocked that the Prima Shrug from Maggie Pace was a freebie, check it out if you haven’t. It’s mad birthday knitting time [...]

New Socks Sunday
This weekend was 80% play and 20% work, not bad as far as percentages go. Sunday afternoon is always a bike ride to my favorite island coffee shop and some coffee or sweet tea and a bit of knitting or reading. I took along the new socks I cast on for, nameless yarn but probably [...]

Muffin Love
I go through phases on Planet Carbohydrate. Sourdough, popping in a frozen roll for dinner on the quick…. maybe even a good ole’ biscuit. What’s not to love with a biscuit? Really. But a muffin. A great muffin recipe that goes together fast, can become a million different delicious bready goodness items…. can’t beat it. [...]

Knitting Content, Go Figure!
I have been knitting. Really. Just nothing terribly exciting and certainly nothing “new”. I’ve almost finished the striped socks long in the works, they’re down to the weaving of the toes. Seriously, it’ll take a few minutes but I haven’t done it. I take that back, I’m making another pair of socks for the “gift [...]

Chalkboard Redux
I know, chalkboards have been done and done and done. Even by me. But I wanted still ONE MORE. One on the wall near the front door, near the main living area, one which would offer a dose of hot, fresh inspiration. Easily changeable words to fuel the fire, stoke the day, well…. you get [...]
