Shhhhhhh!…..I’m a Feminist

By admin | Published: September 3, 2010
I recognize that I am here (physically and metaphorically) because of the women who came before me. To me, it is that simple.

Inspired to Knit

By admin | Published: May 3, 2010
Yesterday, I spent the entire day reveling in Knitting Goodness.  We started the day in Guthrie at the SWAK Knit Out with an amazing class on charting by Cookie A. I thought I knew what I was doing, but Cookie really cleared things up for me…..or muddied the water…I am not sure yet.  Either way [...]

A Weekend to Remember

By admin | Published: April 30, 2010
Last weekend will not be easily forgotten.  It was full, fun and beautiful.  I remember when I graduated from college, I thought I would live anywhere but Enid or Oklahoma City.  I was “big city bound.”  We stayed and now I am so glad.  Here is a recap of last weekend: We went to the [...]

It’s My Birthday…

By admin | Published: April 14, 2010
…I will quote if I want to! I mentioned a few days ago that I love Anne Lamott.  I am reading her new book, Imperfect Birds, and it has me thinking about how much I love quotes.  I try not to use them too much on this blog, I hate it when I read a [...]

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

By admin | Published: March 2, 2010
I love, love, love…..extra *heart* Dr. Seuss.  I enjoyed Dr. Seuss as a child, but it was not until I became a parent that my admiration has grown.  In fact, in our old house, our nursery/playroom was dedicated to Dr. Seuss and the little guys’ first birthday was all thing Seuss. I finally decided that [...]

Make Do and Mend

By admin | Published: February 16, 2010
The idea to make do and mend has been around in a practical way since the second World War.  I love the values of using what we have and making the most of all of our resources to provide for the future in a more holistic way.  I think about this when I find a [...]

It Takes a Village

By admin | Published: February 14, 2010
This Valentine’s Day I am so thankful for all of the people in our lives that help us to raise our children.  The aunts and uncles who celebrate our birthdays.  The cousins who help make new discoveries in the playroom.  The grandparents who invite us to spend the night.  The great-grandparents who give us hugs [...]

  • Inside the Front Cover

    I channel Dorothea Lang for art and beauty for the sake of social justice and political reform and  Martha Stewart for art and beauty for the sake of “good things.”  Throw in a little Julia Child and now you have entered the depths of my psyche.  “Crazy on a Good Day” is an [...]
