this image of silke stoddard's knitting is burned into my mind and tatooed on my heart.

pps- our topic of convo for the night was this article from the wall street journal.

when she does these weekends she fills up really fast so don't wait- if you need color and/or cut and/or face waxing at very reasonable prices email her promptly and she'll get you booked and give you directions.

i am so grateful for quiet time with the scriptures.

i am going to turn on some good music and choose to be happy.

she'll be here friday and saturday april 3rd and 4th, and she'll be taking appointments for all day/ night both days at my house.

really really happy.

my happy little life

i told cate about st. patrick's day and ireland- she has a lot of irish ancestors through me.

What are your tips for clearing clutter so you can focus on such a project as sewing?" well mary, let me answer your question by showing you some examples of how i deal with clutter in different areas of my home:

i LOVE this picture and am so inspired to keep the needles moving.

have a happy st. patrick's day.

i always enjoy knitting lacy stuff but this pattern was especially fun, super easy, and portable.

(i hate in quilting and knitting and sewing when the designs get all fancy just because they can).

i love her style.

you've gotta love people with humor like that.

and you eat with your sunglasses on

trust me, you'll want her working her magic on you.

i was chuckling while i cooked thinking about how my irish grandparents always had a plaque on their wall with this prayer on it: "may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows your dead" ha!

the best part of dinner was the irish soda bread- it was so so good, and it's really easy to make.

time for a new spring look...

we are happily enjoying being able to play outside again.

really, cate is also mexican, japanese, native american, swiss, and a lot more- a true american- so we actually have a lot of family history travelling to do, but i really love the romantic beauty of ireland, and have always been drawn to that part of the world. plus i really love corned beef.

let's give a hand to the world, for everything it can do!!
