    About Me

    December 28, 2018 /

    My name is Kim and I have been married since 06. I love my hubby dearly and LOVE being a stay at home mommy to our two wonderful little boys.

    Do you have projects in time out?

    August 24, 2018 /

    Tomorrow is Friday and man do I love me some  Fridays. I love that the weekend slows down and lends its way to crafting and a time to rejuvenate my soul. I usually are am not one to start a new project on the weekend. I like to work on wips (work in progress) during the weekend. Today I want to talk about on of the biggest things a knitter or crocheter can encounter… At what point do you frog it or finish it? Do you let it go to Area 51 that in the back of a dark closet and leave it for years? Are you someone that lets it…

    Rambleings on My Anniversary.

    On July 29th 2006 I married Lee. We did not always see eye to eye, in the beginning he was my boss! Our journey began at a magical retail store called Circuit City.

    How do you morning??

    July 6, 2018 /

    I love an easy project to work on while I eat my breakfast and wake up. I always have one mindless knitting project and one mindless crochet one going all the time. I find its easier for me to knit in the movies but a mindless crochet gets me thinking more in the morning. I am currently working on another Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket. Its a free pattern on Ravelry and can be found here.  The yarn I am using is the Lion Brand Mandala Baby in the Pixie Hollow color. I wanted to try this out and see which I like more Mandala regular or the Baby. Well its…

    Sav-A-Life Hat Drive

    June 16, 2018 /

    Ever get that feeling that you want to use your knitting or crochet abilities to spread love to the world? I know I do, I get it when I see a call for a charity drive, a post, when I look over and see a baby colored yarn or even when I hear others joining in a campaign on podcast/blog. Today it happened when I was tagged in a Facebook post. It was out of no where and I was sitting at the library with my kids when I got the notification. I read the post and I could feel my soul wanting to reach out… so I did.  Sav-A-Life…
