My friend Coretta makes the cutest little tatted headwear that she sells as Tatties, and at a very reasonable price, I might add. Tatting is a disappearing art that I think should not disappear! There are so many lovely and fun possibilities with tatting.
My Great-Grandma Mae tatted beautifully and endlessly, I understand. Since she [...]

Despite having a headache yesterday, I was able to finish my Granddaughter’s scarf and hat set. I love these colors! They seem very Arabela-like to me. Arabela (or Bela, Bels, or Bela-Bug, as she’s known by us) is quite the little imp. She is the happiest little thing! Unless she’s hungry. Do not let this [...]

Okay, you caught me. I was trying to ignore the fact that I had not posted a “Workin’ It Wednesday” post. Quite frankly, I didn’t feel like I had made much progress. But after going around and looking at my projects, I can see that it wasn’t as bad as I feared. Plus, there are [...]

I got the idea from a couple of other homemaking blogs to have a “Workin’ It Wednesday” post each week wherein I report on my current projects. This is a great idea for many reasons, but mostly because it will force me to make progress on long term projects. If I have to actually post [...]
