More Bargain Books

Anyone who has read any part of my blog knows I love books of all shapes, sizes, and subjects. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon some really good deals.
I love Amazon.com, which is where I get most of my books, but have you ever visited Ebay’s site, Half.com? I don’t care much for ebay usually, but so far, I’m likin’ them as much as–or possibly more in some cases–than Amazon. I bought a brand new, never before read hardback of Mistress [...]

Mmm…Cake & Crafts!

My daughter is growing up. She recently celebrated her sixteenth birthday. We didn’t do any of the “sweet sixteen” stuff because she just didn’t want it. Instead, my sister and her husband sent her fifteen gorgeous red roses, with one white one to commemorate the year, and her step-dad and I bought her an iPod, took her out [...]

Bargain Book

Our library has a nice lil’ “booktique” in it, full of books that people have donated or books they no longer need on the library shelves. I like to go in and scroll through the shelves, looking for a bargain. I rarely find anything crochet-related, but I did run across this little jewel: Do [...]

Book Meme Thursday

Thanks to a link on Ravelry, I found this little book tidbit called Booking Through Thursday, so I thought “Sure, I’ll play along”. So here goes:
Just Wild About Harry 
1. Okay, love him or loathe him, you’d have to live under a rock not to know that J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, [...]

Crocheting vs. Knitting

Yes, I know, I know–curiosity killed the cat. But I can’t help to wonder a couple of things.
For one, why do most LYSs cater to knitting and hardly ever mention crocheting? Don’t they know that crocheters love and use yarn, too? For me, if I walk into a yarn store that doesn’t have something more [...]

WIPs

Since I finally got some photos taken of my WIPs, I thought it was time to make a post to my blog. That darn Ravelry is getting all of my attention these days, it seems. (Yes, without it, these photos wouldn’t even be available yet, since I was able to add these to my project folder there.) Even my WIPs are [...]

Grandmother’s Buttons

She isn’t the one who taught me to crochet. Nor did I get my collection of buttons from her. I didn’t inherit my yarn stash from her, nor did she teach me to sew. Yet, she seems to be the driving force behind much of my creativity.
My grandmother on my dad’s side of the family was killed in a car accident the year [...]
