I’m an early riser. Anywhere between 5 and 6 AM my body just jumps out of bed. Usually takes my head a few minutes to catch up, look at the clock, argue with my body about what my eyes are seeing on the clock and finally, succombing to the fact that I am, indeed, awake.
This morning it wasn’t between …

While searching for the perfect project to start my 3 pre-teen granddaughters on, Be Still And Knit boldly marched right up and saved me!
Isn’t this too fun? And talk about a stash buster, knit on size 13 needles, it would be a pretty quick knit also.
These three girls are all roughly the same age, the twins will be …

I was browsing around this morning (don’t laugh, you like to browse around also, or you wouldn’t be here!) and I found the coolest accessory for turning yarn into a necklace. Got leftover yarn from that scrumptious, yummy sweater you just knit? Or do you have a tad little bit (technical term) of really glitzy yarn that would make a …

KaratStix over at Etsy graciously sent some items over for me to try out. She sent a Needle Gauge, a 2″ square stitch and row gauge and a fun key ring. These are all made from earth friendly bamboo, and just as cute as can be! These ones are decorated with sheep but there are other designs as well. I …

I’ve mentioned Villainess’s awesome products before, but I just can’t resist raving about them once more now that holiday shopping season is underway.

The Smooch! scrubs use …

Kookburra Wool Wash is the latest product to fall victim to my use and abuse list. I like to try these things myself, without reading all the hype, so I can realistically make up my own mind about the products.
Kookaburra did not disappoint! I really liked the delicate smell, and how soft and fluffy the newly spun yarn was …

I recently got a sweet little package of samples from Erzulie Cosmetics to try out. Lately, I have been wanting to learn more about mineral makeup companies, so I was excited about trying these out.
The first product I used was the mineral make up concealer stick, which I unfortunately needed at the time (sigh). I found that the concealer …
