Sometimes you're Jonah, sometimes you're the...
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a trend in my life: I feel like I know where God is leading me, I follow, and when I get there, it sucks. Not like, oh, today kinda sucked. Like, it’s been months and 3-4 days out of 5 have sucked. I found myself starting to question whether God had ever led me anywhere. If I was imagining things. If I had completely missed God’s purpose...

Frankincense for the Baby
Frankincense is a powerful anti-inflammatory that is wonderful for relieving the pain associated with ear infections.
So, the wise men really knew what they were doing when they brought frankincense to baby Jesus - they knew that babies get ear infections, too, even when you’re divine.

Potato Chip Knitting
The Knitmore girls refer to lots of types of potato chip knitting - the kind of knitting where you find yourself rationalizing, ‘just one more row… Just one more cable… Just one more_______….’
I’ve decided two things after finishing my Mr. BlueJeans cardigan:
1. Cables are totally potato chip knitting.
2. Just like real potato chips, if you eat the whole bag,...

Even the knitting world has been infiltrated... →
Lorna’s Laces has introduced a custom dyed series of yarns based on the 50 Shades of Grey novels. 5 colorways, all named after characters, each colorway has 10 shades of color in it. When you purchase all 5, you literally get 50 Shades of Grey.
No where is safe.
(If you’re interested, this collection is available in sock & worsted weight.)

Frogging in the Dark
As part of my 31 Days of Stash Burning, I came across 2 little balls of Knit Picks Comfy Worsted, one in whisker (silver) & one in peony. We have friends who just discovered that they are having a little girl this coming May & immediately thought - baby sleep sack! I love to knit/crochet sleep sacks, baby bags, whatever you call them & I have a slew of them in my Ravelry gallery. And...

Crash & Burn (my stash)
I’ve been on a Tumblr hiatus recently. Honestly, I kinda forgot I had one. It’s not personal, Tumblr. It’s not my fault. We’re gonna blame it on the concussion.
At the end of September, I was in a car accident. Everyone walked away, which was great. The cars were replaced (I was a passenger, so that wasn’t my hassle to deal with). I did learn the hard way...

Coming undone
I made a shawl a few years ago from a single skein of yarn that was over 700 yards long (no knots! It was incredible!!). I loved the colors in the hank. I loved the texture of the yarn. I loved that I found a pattern that I could customize and use every last bit of this delicious find from a LYS. Wool, silk & bamboo: they called it Great Wall. It was perfect.
Until I finished it. The way...

I'm having a secret affair...
…and strangely, the hubs totally gets it. I mean, let’s be honest - he can’t do all the things that this new love can for me. We have come to an agreement and we’re both okay with things.
Now that I’ve found it, life just wouldn’t be the same without tea tree oil.
Sorry I couldn’t resist. I know, I know… But at our house, it’s no longer...

When did sexting become so mainstream? →
This is the fifth encouragement of sexting between married couples I’ve seen in the last few weeks. Have creative communication & class vacated all relationships now? I wouldn’t really call sexting creative, and I’m pretty sure no one would argue it’s classy.
If you have to get the idea to ‘sext’ from a magazine, perhaps it’s not really your...
