OK, I don't really have a secret life. But I didn't have a title for this post either and that just popped into my head, so I went with it. ;-) I know I don't post much anymore. I think that Face...

I'm still doing chemo and I'm halfway through. I hope I'm getting better. Next week's PET Scan should tell. In the past month or so, I've... Spun yarn - the photo doesn't do justice to the colors...

Here's what I'm up to right now. I got sick in April and went to the hospital eventually. And after giving me a bunch of blood, they decided to do surgery because they couldn't decide what was re...

Wow. The end of an era has occurred. When I first got into Mixed Media Art, I joined a bunch of Yahoo art groups and through the years, I made a lot of friends in those groups, participated in lo...

OK, here are just a few things that are rolling around my mind. We went on a run with our MINI Cooper crew today. Meet up in Wickenburg, AZ, drive to Prescott, AZ via the wonderful, twisty Yarnel...

OK, here's an idea that has been brewing in my mind for a while now. Most of you don't know this but back in my past when I was mostly a weaver, spinner, dyer, and basketmaker, I used to put toge...

I had to choose, so I chose Unicorns. They stand for good and purity and let's face it, zombies are all over the place. Who knows what they stand for beside their own insane zombie agenda? Really...

My helix scarf is done! I made sure to knit a little dangly bit on each end of the last row as I was binding off so that they'd be even. And here it is being modeled by the recipient, The Sports ...

Here's the progress report on the Insane Helix Scarf. I'm close to the end of the second ball of three balls of handspun yarn. This is a two-ply yarn spun on a spindle most likely but I honestly ...

The insanity continues. If you are at all like me, you get fairly bored if there isn't something happening all the time in your knitting. I need increases, decreases, yarn overs, and bits of purl...
