Where to even begin?  When I last posted it was about a month ago and we were about to get the finishing stages done on our basement floor remodel.  It has been quite a month.  I don't want to jinx the rest of the project or go into all the details because you would probably not believe it if I told you!  Long...

We are getting closer!  We are right on the edge of some big changes in the basement remodel this upcoming week.  Tomorrow final crack patching, floor grinding, and staining is set to happen.  This is going to be dusty yet so exciting!  Once this step is complete then everything else starts to fall in place. We get to finalize our decision on wall...

I am trying to practice deep breaths and patience as we wait for the next phase of the remodel to happen.  A week ago a successful abatement happened of the asbestos tile in the studio room in the basement.  We spent the weekend putting on Kilz paint primer to this room to help cover the once red, then bright yellow walls with some...

I wanted to update on our remodel dealing with the asbestos floor tile that we found in one room in our basement as we ripped up the carpet and were preparing to have the concrete stained.  So in my own curiosity I visited with our neighbor who was familiar with our house prior to us.  I was trying to understand what this room...

What was meant to be my summer shirt exploring knitting with linen has finally come off the needles and is going to first be a fall, winter and spring shirt before it is my summer shirt!  A certain welcome blanket knitting project hijacked my knitting this summer so I just finished this bad boy. For this shirt I chose the shirt pattern by...

I shut down my Etsy shop for the month of October for a reason that has been a long time coming with lots of work involved.  I have been wanting to rip the carpet out of my basement for at least 8 years now.  The previous owners had finished the basement and put off-white carpet in the basement and after a non-disclosed on...

A fun part of fiber share is also putting together a package of wooly goodness for your partner.  As you can tell I am little bit smitten with the enamel camp cup trend.  I am sure it is strongly influenced by my dear Scamp Coleen!  I dabbled in some design making once more on Canva and came up with this sweet little design....

Do you know about FiberShare?  I just finished up my second time doing FiberShare- it is an international yarn and fiber swap- in a nutshell.  The folks that organize it do a great job matching you up with 2 partners- one that you will send to, and one that sends you a box o' goodies.  They do a wonderful job of matching you...

Well maybe not "dyeing" to try but natural dyeing has definitely been in my interest box.  In a previous Fiber Share swap my partner got me some un-dyed natural fiber yarns.  I had this in my stash and I combined that with that plethora of walnuts from our tree that pounds our house and deck and I decided to give some natural dyeing...

"I can't, I am going to Winfield"  was a common saying the third weekend of September for a nice little chunk of time when the boys were younger.  This meant we were packing up and heading to Winfield, Kansas for the Walnut Valley Music Fest with local friends.  It is a a really unique music fest worth the 5 hour drive mostly because...
