A few years ago I started blogging as a cheap form of therapy. I had no expectations when I started, I knew nothing about the “blogosphere,” and quite honestly, while I liked writing, I just didn’t think that being part of the community was for me. But then I got bored at work one day [...]
First of all, I really need to thank Stella and Teopea (ravelry link) properly - this week I received these wonderful things are part of the pay-it-forward exchange. I love them all, lots and lots. They really made my week.
The book is just charmingly written and so beautifully illustrated, I can’t wait until Amelia comes [...]

I’m grieving the loss of a relationship. So when I read Crazy Aunt Purl’s The Story of Roy today I started [...]
Pop quiz time - do you remember when I told all of you about Digit and the raffle to raise money for his vet bills? (no cheating looking at your neighbor’s paper) I donated because I was touched by the story, was pulling for the little guy and wanted to do what I could, [...]
One of the blogs I read regularly is Yarn-a-Go-Go. As with all the blogs I read I get emotionally attached to these people, like they’re the long lost friends I’ve just never met or spoken to.
