Catchy titles I’ve got going here, eh? So… when we left off we were havin’ some lunch. After that we put AG down for nap and began to clean the house at warp speed. Why, you may ask, are we doing house work on a holiday? Well, although no one has been to see the […]

OK, let’s do a little review of our Independence Day (also known as the day the Pacific Northwest proved it does have the ability to be hotter than Hades, it just chooses not to brag about it.) We had made a plan that we […]
Continue reading →I was trying my hand at something new. I was playing around with this…. a little space dyeing in the ol’ crockpot (using Easter Egg dyes that refused to resolve. Confucious say buy cheap Easter Egg dyes, get cheap Easter Egg dyes.) While putting the yarn in I may not have had on gloves. The […]

There are indie companies that I had never heard of but they have some amazing fibers. This could be fun. So far I’m being sucked into the Ravelry vortex and […]

Continue reading →Since we have moved here I have been fascinated with Mowich Lake and that general area of Mount Rainier. Just a day’s hike from there is Eunice Lake and I have wanted to take this day hike for a while. I convinced Dana and we were all set to do this tomorrow. I just called […]

And what’s with the dpn thingie as a clasp/closure? I really like the pattern, it looks pretty summery but I suppose that it would need a tank […]
Continue reading →A few weeks ago I received an email from an American living in South Korea (Hi, Chris!). He had seen a post I did about going to the gravesite of Jimi Hendrix. He said that his students are big into Jimi Hendrix stuff and would think he was a hero if he could get a […]
Continue reading →We spent Saturday searching for different waterfalls along Snoqualmie pass and the south fork of the Snoqualmie River. The weather was so nice, and it was so sunny (!) that we couldn’t waste such a great opportunity to do some site seeing. I put together a little montage of our discoveries. Here are some waterfalls […]
