Driving! – Day 1
Probably by tomorrow I’ll post about my drive with less exuberance. Chances are good I’ll rethink the exclamation mark altogether and just go with something between a … And a maybe a simple period will do?
Anyway, I’ve found farm country! I’ve got a solid 550 or so miles behind [...]
Packed!
I’m all packed for RAGBRAI! This is all my stuff, packed into plastic bags. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from reading about this ride is that water is your Mortal Enemy and plastic shall defeat all evil. In case you were wondering, I prefer Ziploc (double zip! big writing area!) to Hefty (snap system [...]

So, this summer I’ll be riding my bike across the great state of Iowa. The one with all the corn, pigs, and farms, smooshed between Nebraska and Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri. You know… the state you’d ride your bike across if you were into stuff like that. Like, apparently, I am.
It’s my first time participating [...]
Score!
I just bought this full-of-awesomeness new chair for just $20 bucks at a yard sale. It was totally meant to be that I and this chair would come together in holy craft-room-accessorizing matrimony – I’m sure of it! I was on a bike ride and passed this yard sale in a posh part of town. [...]

Hi everyone! Wow, it’s been a while. I’ve been busy, busy, and each time I let some time pass between blog posts, I get first post syndrome all over again. But I’ve gotten over it in time to say hello before next Christmas. Phew! And I brought some elephants with me to help break the [...]

Recently we got a great book from friends with impeccable taste in food and cookbooks: Lorna Sass’s Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way. It’s a book with loads of recipes using grains you’ve (or at least I’ve) never heard of (amaranth, triticale, teff, kamut) and new ways to think about using those grains you already [...]

In case you all haven’t heard about Craft Hope for Haiti, it’s an Etsy store that is taking handmade donated items from crafters everywhere and selling them to raise money for the relief effort in Haiti. All money received will go straight to Doctors Without Borders for Haiti.
This is the item I’ve donated.
Update: The [...]
Resolutions, crafts of a different kind, and a new bike stand!
Yesterday was dedicated to crafts, but much different than the quilting, sewing, and baking that I’ve been so fond of the last couple of weeks. I made strides towards fulfilling my first New Year’s resolution, which is to become a better bike mechanic. I spent most of Saturday building this DIY bike stand for repairs [...]

It snowed last night. The first real snow of the winter here. How much?
The Banjo Snowmeter says: Belly high and still snowing.
Perfect day to build a fire in the wood stove, hole up in the craft room, and try my hand at the Oh, Fransson’s Map of the States block tutorial with my new Hope [...]
