In with the New

By admin | Published: January 4, 2012

Yesterday I told you about the project that I finished up to say good-bye to 2011. The best thing about that is saying hello to my first project of 2012. Of course, it is knitting. But, it is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I suppose there are some knitters out there who [...]

By admin | Published: January 3, 2012

Amy at the CMP gave me this idea a few years ago. I thought it sounded like a keeper, but at that time I had two very little boys and taking time when they were with me was not a possibility. Now, they are 5 and 6 and things are better….a little….:)! The idea was [...]

The opposite of war isn’t peace…..It’s Creation!!!

By admin | Published: November 14, 2011

I have been quiet around R&TM lately. I hate that. Sitting here at my keyboard is as therapeutic for me as I imagine the piano is for many musicians. I write, I edit, I design, I compile…it doesn’t matter what it is, I love it and it gives me so much peace. I love the [...]

By admin | Published: September 30, 2011

I have been reluctant to update the layout here on Read and Tell Me for some time. Why? Primarily because I found began to use Google Reader so not to miss anything on my favorite blogs…..you know, all 100+ of them. I started using G Reader after I found this happy thing….Byline. For almost a [...]

Just in case you need another reason to learn to Knit

By admin | Published: March 7, 2011

Life is going by way too quickly. I have been a bit distracted by the births of a new Nephew in February and a new Niece in March. Both babies and moms are doing great, but I am sooooo far behind. I have been in auntie fog I suppose. More of new baby stuff later, [...]

Typography is my Love Language

By admin | Published: February 15, 2011

They say, “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I do love a great picture visual or conceptual….but for me, the typeface is where it is at. I obsess over the type used in on billboards, magazine ads, stationary, and logos. Logos……now that is a whole different matter….I love a great logo. I even stalk [...]

I Steal Them

By admin | Published: January 25, 2011

I recently heard and interview with some creative type on a podcast, I assume. Yes, that is all I remember about where I heard this….but, the comment that stuck with me was in response to, “Where do you get your ideas?” the creative type said….I steal them from others….is there really such thing as a [...]

In the Works….A Shawl

By admin | Published: September 27, 2010

I love to knit lace. It is very cathartic for me. It is involves just enough through that I have to block most other thoughts out. I also love shawls. I guess it is the grandma that hides inside of me. I will say that it is a bit ironic that I like shawls since [...]
