JuanaBee Takes on the Machine!
Oh, how I’ve missed this! When I last posted, I was in the process of moving and transitioning into a different sort of domestic existence. Now I’m all settled in, and thanks to my daily routine, I don’t spend much … Continue reading
Quick Question for the Yarn Enthusiasts
Not much time for a post, but I’m on a quest, a mission. The Missus has been after me to make her a blanket for some time (months, really), and I thought, “Ok, I’ll make her a really awesome one, … Continue reading

By popular demand – recipes!
Some of my readers have been asking for recipes for a while, and I have not obliged them. I’m a terrible blogger. Actually, I’m a terrible photographer and recipe-writer-downer. I’ve been waiting to post a recipe to a fantastic dish … Continue reading
Hijacked: Household Pets & Their HiJinks
Oh, progress! How much of it I make, and how little of it seems to happen! Every box I pack is just another drop in the bucket, and the bucket is a 5 gallon pickle barrel. Actually, ok, fine. The … Continue reading

Lazy days of summer? Nah….

First post of summer
Well, the challenge was a nice thought. Maybe I’ll try it sometime. I failed, when I put it out there, to take into account that I was in no emotional space to take on a challenge. I wanted to, but … Continue reading
Let the Challenge Begin!
I’ve GOT IT! I’m the kinda girl that loves a good challenge. If someone else is telling me what to do, and there are prescribed rules to follow, and yet it’s completely voluntary whether I participate, I’m game. I can … Continue reading

Confessions of a wayward blogger… and housekeeper.
Oh, my poor neglected blog! I have a litany of excuses as to why I’ve left you so high and dry for so long, but really, it all comes down to the same thing: I’m a terrible blogger. *Sigh* I … Continue reading

I’m still alive!
It’s been a moment since I updated my blog. Starting a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been fighting a recurring illness, somewhat obscure in its manifestation. I think it’s probably the strangest sinus infection I’ve ever had. It has had … Continue reading
What? No pictures??
I have made some lovely strides during the course of the week, though. The lack of updates can be somewhat blamed on this. I’ve been too busy puttering around sorting through boxes and clutter, keeping up with the dailies, and clearing closets. I now have a hefty load of things to take to the thrift store – I just need to commit to taking it. For the first time since we moved in, our coat closet is – *gasp* – a COAT closet! I cannot tell you how exciting this is for our household. A place to put our winter things. Refreshing! Continue reading
