This week, I finally finished a project I’ve been talking about since last year: I donated 4,170 yards of synthetic yarn that I had no plans of using to charities. (That’s the equivalent of about 11.5 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver, in case you need a visual.) I’ve been participating in the Surmount the [...]

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me of the Lovin’ Spoonful‘s “Summer in the City.” I won’t even tell you what the back of my neck was like, and when I sat down outside to take the one picture for today’s post, it was definitely hotter than a match head. It was just [...]
