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












My Other blog, for my spiritual finds and musings, or some political thoughts can be found at Rosesandteax2

No tinfoil hat please

If you're interested in living a life less dependent on the various "systems" for whatever reason, or saving money, getting out of debt, knowing what the financial situation is going to be like in the next little while, gardening even if you live in an apartment, fishing, and a host of other topics and themes, then you might like this podcast.  

The Survival Podcast  by Jack Spirko

It's not about aliens and government conspiracies so much as helping people learn to understand what is going on around them (sometimes simply by paying attention or doing the math to calculate is buying that bigger house going to help you or hinder your goals?, etc) and take steps to change things for the better in one's life.  The motto for the show is "Helping you live the life you want, if times get tough, or even if they don't."

One interesting thing is that with inflation, if people had done a little "stockpiling" (and I don't even mean major amounts, just things like a few months worth of toilet paper) a few months ago, already savings would have been made as you wouldn't have to buy those items now at a higher price.  Saving money is a big theme of the show and I'm interested in that!
