  As I was putting together this week’s episode, I started to notice a not-so-craft-related theme emerging. Home. Not necessarily my home of today, but the familiar territory of my youth, and place where most of my family still resides. When I go there for a visit, I am “going …

  The weather man asserts that tomorrow will be the last of the 100+ degree days. There is only one thing I can say to that. Hallelujah!! The temperature drop can not come soon enough, but by now, you must be as tired of hearing about my weather as I …

  This Texas summer has been hot, hot, HOT! But, not in a dancing-in-the-streets-limbo-with-a-frosty-beverage kind of way. More like a stay-indoors-with-the-windows-covered-wearing-very-little kind of way.  Though the weather outside is frightful (and yes, it can be deemed so even in the middle of summer), I am so glad to be back …

  Episode ten is up and running!  I hope you enjoy this mini-milestone, and I’m looking forward to being back with you in August. If you love to laugh (and who doesn’t?) and knit, The Knit Wits Podcast will be right up your alley. You can listen to them on …

  The heat is really wearing us down in TX this week.  As I write this the thermometer reads 100 degrees.  I’ve heard of people trying to fry an egg on a hot sidewalk, and I’m thinking of seriously giving that a try this Wednesday when it’s supposed to be …

  I had an absolutely lovely time va/stay-cationing with my family in and around my home town of Newberry, South Carolina. If saving the world at the point of an animated gun is your idea of a good time, I might peg you as a Call Of Duty: Black Ops …

  After this very busy week of unexpected overtime, and unexpected knitting, I wasn’t able to get a full podcast together for you.  But I didn’t want to leave you with nothing.  So, instead of a full episode this week, I present you with a mini episode – part one …

  Last weekend saw the final football game of the season for the Hill Country Colts, and while my intention was to once again take the opportunity for a little knitting in public, I was thwarted by the weather.  Tornadoes and hail storms in the surrounding area left the humidity …

  I have been absolutely spoiled these past two weeks.  Right after completing episode four, Adam took me out on a catamaran for a dinner cruise to celebrate my birthday!  (…which was back in January, but who wants to be out on a boat in the middle of winter??)  Then, …

  Hey, hey all you hackers out there! This one’s for you! WARNING! Before you precede any further, please familiarize yourself with that hacker genius, MacGyver. If you’re looking for inspiration from other crafty hackers, check out the works of Rachel Betty Case and Hye Jin Lee . And if …

  Whew! After being up to my neck in fiber over the past two weeks, I am just itching to share it with you. But first of all, what do you think about my new design?! Much better, no? Many thanks to Adam, my resident Photoshop whiz. And now on …

  I actually recorded this week’s episode a little early since we will be visiting family most of this weekend.  Could this result in another KIP report for Episode 3??  We shall see! Are you looking for some audio to augment your creative environment?  Here are a few suggestions from …

  As I have been strangely absent quite a bit the past few months, you may have been asking, “What the heck is up?”  Well, this is it!  I’m so excited to bring you the first episode of my new podcast, CraftLife.  The topics covered in this podcast will hopefully …
