Living and Learning I am a big believer in trying to find a silver lining or lesson in everything that happens in life. That’s my way of trying to make something good of situations and experiences that are often anything but good. Sometimes those lessons are positive; sometimes they aren’t. But there is always something to […]
A little bit of Hermione… I am truly loving most of my classes this semester! I only have one that is a traditional classroom setting, albeit an online one. That is my Mythology and Modern Life class. I really am loving my class in terms of what I am studying. My professor is amazing; I’ve done […]
I literally just finished the Sugar Cone Skully Hat by Julie of Gleeful Things and I LOVE it! It is the worsted weight version of her VERY popular Waffle Cone Slouchy Hat. This pattern was super easy, all single crochet and double crochet. There was an error in the 4th round, but one that is super easy to correct. […]
I uploaded a new pattern today to my Ravelry store, also available here on my site. But if you want a printable PDF, you can click on the Ravelry button and it will download to your computer without needing to be a member. I call it the Spikes & Bobbles Tablet clutch and I love […]

Yesterday my eldest went from ink virgin to tatted up. While I don’t see him becoming as inked and steeled as I am and will be, I foresee more in his future! He went first, but I got one, too, an admittedly unusual mother/son bonding experience! We started our day at the tattoo place, discussing […]
On Wednesday, I wrote a little bit about negativitiy and how I seem to be more and more aware of it, now that I am actively seeking to get away from it. But I have been noticing something else about it. It is annoying me more and more when someone is negative over seemingly ridiculous […]
I am so drained by all the pain and anger and betrayal running rampant these days, so this post is dedicated to exactly what the title says it is, things that make me dream, make me happy, make me smile! Enjoy! And don’t forget to click on the photos for more,… A beautiful home on […]
