Christmas Is Coming

You know what they say about the best laid plans, right? This week's been... a mix of chaos and pain and I'm still recovering from both. As such, I haven't really managed to get a start on the dog sweater I'm supposed to be knitting. Need to get started on that soon. I did however …

Patton on the Ritz

Hi y'all!  This is Hanna. First off, let me introduce myself.  I am the wife to an Iraq veteran and LEO, and Mama/StepMama to six boys ranging in age from 15 years to almost 17 months old.  We have a busy blended family, and 3 rowdy dogs to round it all out.  Yes, my house …

Battery Low

This week's been... well, let's just say it could have been better and that I do not like having to deal with insurance claims. And grateful as I am to have a car available to me right now, I want ours back, which is currently in the shop because someone clipped the driver's side mirror …

I was surprised and flattered when my fellow minion Karin invited me to write on her blog – and wondered what …

Fall Back

Did you remember to Fall Back (turn your clocks an hour back) today? Yep, it's that time of year again. Time flies, doesn't it? So I've gotten quite far with my project, but it's on hold. Why, you ask? Because this morning I managed to injure my wrist and, well, gripping the frame just isn't in …

Artist, Musician, Writer, Human, Dork…

… that about sums me up. Hi there – my name is Betti Gefecht. Wenn Karin invited me – out of the blue – to write a guest post, about myself of all things, the first thing I said was, "Uhm… why me?" And she answered, "You're crafty, aren't you?" Well, yeah, I guess I am. Kinda. …
