Catching up and getting ready for changes.
Its basically summer here in Alabama, the temps are getting close to the high 80’s already and school will be out in a week for my kids. We are ready for summer and ready for the changes we will be participating in as a family. We are pulling our kids from public school and homeschooling them. I am beyond excited about this decision. I will miss some amazing teachers but we need to do this for our family. We will be starting homeschool in July and I already have so many things planned. This is something the hubs and I talked about before and we just feel it…

How does Color inspire you? (This post contains a spoiler of the Voyager MKAL from Jimmy Beans Clue 1)
Color is so inspiring and so daunting at the same time. It is everywhere and can make or break a project. It allows us to stay in our comfort zone or can break us free. It can brighten our mood or bring it down. Colors can also be used to define us and they can be things that represent our soul. I tend to think my colors of that of Fall. I am not a huge summer person or spring for that matter but when fall comes I feel like my soul comes alive and the inspiration flows. There are some many ways we can use color in our projects.…

Its my Birthday today :)
Hello fellow yarn and craft lovers. Guess what today is my Birthday!! I finally got the podcast finished and ready to post. Yesterday I took my parents and boys to Mount Cheaha, which is the highest point in Alabama. I am sad to say many leaves were not turned but dead. There was some color and it was a great time. Stick around at the end of the video to see some photos of our trip. Hope you enjoy the show.

Modified Moss Cowl
The holidays are approaching us and fast. I love friends and family but I am going to be honest I do not want to spend forever knitting or crafting for them. I was going to use this for a dirty Santa gift but now I may have to keep it. The yarn is called Macro by Berroco. The yarn is a Super Bulky and is very nice. The color I used is called 6715 Polar Night. The yarn is 50% Wool, 40% Acrylic and 10% Alpaca and retails for about $20. The yarn is really nice. I started off doing the Marian that can be found on Ravelry. But got…

Less Time For Chores more Time for Knitting
So I am not sure if you are like me but I would much rather spend my time crafting than doing chores. However, I can not do that. I do however stream line my day to day activities so I can craft more. You can ask any of my friends and I am very OCD and very organized but am so so I can relax more. It works for me and my family. So of the things I do is push myself to get up and get things done. I get all the cleaning and errand chores by 1 pm every day. That means I do not sit down sometimes…
