Handspinning yarn is crazy-relaxing. I can’t believe how good it feels to do something the same way people have done for thousands of years. This is my new drop spindle, a Cascade Little Si, sitting on a bed of super soft roving.
I think we are the only ones in the world that don’t give a single thing to our kids for Easter. Nope, not a single egg. Not a single candy, not a single bunny, not one darn thing. And what’s cool is that they don’t know the difference. I wonder how many more years we [...]

James is slowly beginning to associate Chuck E Cheese with party. He has only been there about 3 times so far in his 2.5 years and I think this last visit was by far the most fun. We went for a birthday party and James had a blast. This was his “favoritest” game [...]

Oh, and photographic proof that Lowell’s legs do, indeed, work.
