{this little guy is a mole, he was pictured in my gardening catalog and I just had to draw him} I’ve been trying to stay home on Sundays (or at least out of the office), so no posting drawings on Sundays. That seems reasonable. Sunday was pretty busy, but really fun. We had a great [...]

I have been making a lot of headway clearing space for the things I love by getting rid of the things I’m “meh” about. Books are a hard topic for me because I love them so much in general and it’s taken me a long time to realize I don’t have to love each and [...]

Today was very productive in the studio! I started out with having a head start on today’s post, so it was actually up on the website before lunch. Then I cruised right though writing tomorrow’s post (during lunch) and scheduled that. Pulled out polymer clay for Friday’s post (which you will have to go check [...]

Since moving to Ames I have gone from being a vegetarian to trying to loose weight on the atkins diet. I know what you are thinking “what the hell was she thinking! atkins!” Well, that was the problem, I wasn’t thinking. And my mindless eating led to gaining weight, then desperately trying to loose it. [...]

I’m happy to announce the starting of a new great project called Thrift Kitchen! Basically Jason and I are now both officially giving full time self employment a try… which means no money! Or at least just barely enough to get by. Pretty much anything that can be cut is getting cut, including the grocery [...]

So I’ve been just tacking up all my drawings in my studio. It kind of keeps me thinking about it and ideas flowing. The yarn is finally dry and I’ll start listing it in the shop tomorrow. The above is a preview of the new colorways. I was about to start taking pictures of my [...]

So I was catching up on my podcasts this morning on the drive home and heard an excellent interview on the Craft Sanity PodCast with Samara O’Shea of Letter Lover and author of For the Love of Letters. I have been thinking and loving on the ideas of letters lately. My friend Jill and I [...]

Aloo Market Bag, I finallllly finished it after so many months. I am going to finish writing the pattern soon (hopefully) and it will be $1 in the gpf shop and free with purchase of aloo yarn (i’m adding it back into the shop soon). The start of Jason’s mom’s wrap around shawl. I’m going [...]

Well for one, flickr is working well again. And another thing, I finally finished adding all my yarn to Ravelry for Green Prairie Fibers and I’m offically now a yarnie! Check that out here. I’m so proud of this. Basically, for those of you on Ravelry, it will make it a lot easier to add [...]

First off I want to say thanks again for all the wonderful support you all have given me. At first I was kind of annoyed with classes being suspended a week, but now, I see the wisdom in it. I wasn’t even directly affected, but I was still affected. Just a lack lusterness that is [...]
