Actually the news is from Friday. My baby brother finally got a kidney transplant!!!! Whoo Hoo!!! This is me and Rob. He’s been on dialysis for more than five years, and from experience, I know that dialysis is actually hell. It’s hard on patients and makes you tired, miserable, and yes, I know it’s life …

Some of my friends know that I love to sew. I mean, LOVE to sew. I had actually forgotten how much until this weekend. Our house has this HUGE rec room (30 x 24) and roughly half of is has been taken over by my craft stuff. This includes an old dining room table I …
I’m a major procrastinator, in lots of things, but this year, I’m turning over a new leaf. On New Years’ Eve, my brother and sister-in-law, who had been visiting us for a week, left to go back to Ohio. I think partly because of that and that I felt like I hadn’t had enough time …

Yesterday was not a great day here. I mean, I wasn’t feeling bad or anything, just wasn’t motivated to do anything – housework-wise. I did work on the slipper socks I’m making for Noah. I was attempting this cool thing of knitting two socks at once on double pointed needles and had actually been doing …
HEALTH UPDATE: Started the day feeling better but by afternoon I was tired and had little energy so I took it easy. WRITING UPDATE: Rewriting Chapter Five of Sword & Illusion, should be finished tonight. I’m adding a battle scene tonight. My editor (read: husband) thinks I shy away from battle scenes, which are essential …
My newest craft obsession is knitting socks. Here is a pair I’ve made to be slipper socks for a Christmas gift for a relative. I’m not sure they are exactly the same, but as they’re just to wear around the house, I’m pretty proud of them!
