Hi, welcome to my blog. This is my space to record events and my thoughts, and to share some of my crafts. I enjoy trying out many crafts but primarily enjoy fiber arts. Right now I'm on a knitting kick. I tend to rotate my enthusiasms.

I am a Christian and this blog will reflect that worldview, although usually for more spiritually-themed post I use my "x2" blog (link below), but not always. I am a homeschooling mother with 5 living children. I am American, but live in England because my husband is English. Besides homeschooling, and doing crafts, I enjoy trying new recipes, reading, visiting historical sites, walking in the country and visiting with friends. I hope you enjoy and are uplifted, encouraged, or challenged by your visit here. Get yourself a cup of tea, or a nice tall glass of iced tea, and visit for awhile!






Projects I'm working on:

Side-to-side stole in Old Shale pattern, in Lucy Neatby's Celestial Merino sportweight, color Aquarius

"Kevat" shawl in a brown laceweight yarn

Lots of dishcloths! & various UFOs:

Crocheted afghan for dd1, in Red Heart SS in yellow and white


Afghan made with granny squares originally intended as a poncho

Mile-a-minute afghan for home
