Alittle September Catch Up
September is here, which mean fall is here too. We have actually had some nice cooler weather which has been so nice. The leaves are starting to turn on some trees and to be honest I have already decorated for fall and Halloween last week. I could not wait any longer. Fall is my favorite time of year why wait any longer. So go grab some Tea and enjoy the show….

My Dawn in the Forest
Hey guys I hope you have a wonderful Summer. School started back last week and I am late on posting. We have had a very easy going summer despite a constant battle with the heat, wood bees trying to eat my porch and yellow jackets building nest and attacking(see photo of hive I destroyed at the bottom of this post). We (my hubby and I) celebrated our 9 year anniversary. He surprised me with a bag of goodies from my local Yarn store. As for the knitting I was not a Stash Dash Finisher but I got a lot of stash knit it! Do you ever have those times your…

Hi Guys I hope you all had a wonderful month and Mothers Day. Things have been going great here despite a few sickness that came through our house.

A little "How To" and FO Review
So hows your stashdown cleaning coming along? I have almost completed our closets and bathroom and bedroom! Which means all I have left are the shed and barn and a few things inside. This makes me beyond happy. I am surprised I get so much done though because my hubby had to have surgery on his hand on the 2nd… which you know how men are and it was his dominant hand so naturally he could not do anything for a few days. His hand was all bandaged up and he could not even cut his own food up or open the #Milostea jug. Then as if on cue I…

Christmas Crochet for the Hearth, Home and Tree
I get a tad bit excited with Fall rolls around. There is something about the cooler weather that wakes me up and gets me in this relaxed state. As we all know with the Fall comes the “Fun Holidays”. We have Halloween here in October which is OK but then in November we get Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what we all have and not just the stuff in our life. The First of November also begins the time I start the real decorating! We have a lot of Halloween decor but it does nothing for me. Its when I take that down and starting putting things…

Entrelac Knitting ~ A Review of Gwen Bortner Craftsy Class
Entrelac ~ is a knitting techinque used to create a textured diamond pattern. While the result resembles a basket-woven stripes of knitted fabric, the actual material comprises interconnected squares on two different orientations. (wikipedia online) I took Gwen’s class wanting to learn this amazing knitting technique. I was amazed how the knitting leaned and seemed to have stitches going in different direction. I knew from experience that had to be done with some type of short rows but was not sure how. I was amazed when I learned through Gwen’s class just how easy it is. You would think that would be awesome enough but I learned something else in…
