Or rather, I ended up taking one today. Been a while since I've needed to, but I was wiped out after kneading dough. But, at least I now have four loaves of Challah and I made scones for breakfast this morning as well. We'll just ignore the pile of dishes waiting to be done for …

Someone Please Pass the Wine
No, really. Someone, please get me some wine *curls up into fetal position*. Needless to say, today I've spent doing a whole lot of nothing. Well, okay. Not nothing. I decided to catch up on shows that have started up again. So far, I've watched NCIS, Bull, Criminal Minds, Law & Order SVU, Hawaii 5 …
Out of It
I'm a little out of it today, so please bear with me. Fuzzy brains do not good writing make. Or real coherent thought, for that matter. Last week I started on a new project, trying out the whole grid thing. I'm finding I enjoy working with one, so I'll definitely be looking into other ways …
On the Grid
Since I didn't have any stuff (I forget what it's called) to make a woven grid, I figured I'd try making one with a good old fashioned pencil. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that particular way of doing things, but I am liking the whole grid thing. I'm a lot further now, …
All The Hangover…
None of the fun. Yep, spent most of yesterday in bed with a migraine. Today at least I'm doing a little better on that front, but have the aftermath to deal with. Fun times, let me tell ya. Friday I finally finished my bears. Had to fudge things a bit, given that I messed up …
Breathing’s Hard Work, Yo.
So this is the view from my home right now (and has been for far too long, in my opinion. Most of August, though this weekend's been particularly bad). No, that's not fog. That, my dear readers, is smoke. Lots and lots of smoke. While I love living in the valley, this is a definite …
A Stitch Here…
A stitch there and we're making progress on one of my Christmas projects (hush, haven't you ever heard of Christmas in July?). Not that that's why I'm working on this, mind. It's just so close to done I want it moved from my WIP-pile ;-). Haven't decided if it's going to be framed or if I'm …
Stitching, Reading, and Babies?
When Karin asked me write a post for her blog I warned her I’m a pretty boring person, but she doesn’t seem to agree so here I am. Let’s see … about me … Well, I’m a 42 year old single mom. I don’t do a lot of crafting unless you consider baking and …
Framed!
Do you remember the two small cross stitch pieces I made for hubby as a surprise? And remember the boatload of crafty stuff I was given a while back? Well, I finally put two and two together, so to speak, and set about framing the pieces in a couple of the mini hoops that were …
Cross stitching!
Hello all! My name is Melody, and I can usually be found on FB playing games (Royal Story is pretty fun), reading fics on AO3, reading books, or doing crafty type stuff. My preferred crafts are counted cross-stitch and some occasional crocheting. My most recent completed project is a counted cross-stitch saying. Honestly, there …
