The Quest for the Perfect Monthly Crafty Subscription
Continue ReadingMy my my its been a long time – February! Here’s my tale of “woe.” I like to link up to the Yarn Along on Wednesday. And, for whatever reason, I kept missing Wednesday! I would be in the mood to post on a Monday or a Tuesday, but think, eh, that post would be so much […]

Last Day for InCoWriMo2017!
Continue ReadingToday is the last day of February, and therefore, the last day of InCoWriMo2017. I can’t claim a full victory, but I think I can do half a lap. I managed to get out 22 pieces of correspondence, 19 of which went in the mail, and three of which were hand delivered. I wrote to […]

Flowers, and Leaves and Wreaths, Oh My!
Continue ReadingWhen you get sucked into the handlettering community, you naturally get pulled towards what’s cool and popular in graphic design. Watercolor, wreaths, banners – it’s all big, and it’s all on Skillshare. As I mentioned before, at 99 cents for three months, you can’t go wrong, and I’ve particularly enjoyed the following group of classes […]

Yarning Along – the Mystery Way
Continue ReadingAnd the Ambah Mystery is underway! Mystery knits are always a crapshoot, but I enjoy them nonetheless. This time around I’m joining in on Ambah‘s Hale-Bopp Mystery Knit-a-Long, some kind of a shawl, I guess with a comet theme. As you may recall, I bought yarn, fell in dislike with the yarn, returned the yarn, and […]

I Am Foxy Fixed!
Continue ReadingSometime towards the end of last year, I decided that I had outgrown my fauxdori, a Travelers Notebook from dokipaper on etsy. This notebook served me well, no question, but I lost the money clip that I had on the cover, and it left a really dark mark. I also wanted a pen loop, and […]

And So It Begins – Bring On InCoWriMo 2017, and . . . a New Obsession, the Fountain Pen
Continue ReadingLook who’s ready for InCoWriMo 2017, or to translate that mouthful of an acronym, International Correspondence Writing Month. I have six handmade cards and envelopes ready to go, and I have my Flow magazine on hand to decorate the rest. After a trip to the post office this morning, and a very helpful Postal Person, […]

Tempest Tossed
Continue ReadingOn one hand, I feel like I should be running down to the airport, with my signs and my fist in the air; not only is it the right thing to do, but I know that I would feel energized, and hopeful, and frankly, American. But, the bottomline is, this President just doesn’t give two shits. He doesn’t even give […]

InCoWriMo 2017 – I’m In!
Continue ReadingBig commitment, that International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo)! 28 days, 28 letters. Am I in? I’ve mulled it over. I considered my failed participation in the League of Extraordinary Pen Pals, how I began writing to a group of people – probably 10 or so – and every, single one of them fell by the […]

Yarn Along – First Finish of the Year
Continue ReadingHello everyone! Hope you started your year off on a knitting high note – it’s always good to wrap up the old, start something new, and plan the next thing, and so on . . . My holdover from last year became my first finish of the year – behold, Braid Hills from Kate Davies: […]

Happy Handwriting Day!
Continue ReadingHad you asked me in 6th Grade if I would ever find myself wishing anyone a happy handwriting day, I would have not doubled over in laughter, I would have stared with incredulity. Handwriting and happy in the same sentence, in an exclamation of joy and good wishes? Not possible. Not possible, at all. The […]
