I was supposed to host a Lia Sophia jewelry party on Saturday. You see, Kelly Without A Net has just started out as a Lia Sophia Consultant. I wasn’t familiar with the jewelry, but when Kelly mentioned that she was starting her business, I decided to check it out. I pulled up the website, checked [...]

Good News and Bad News

The Good News:
The Washington Redskins beat the Superbowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers in a preseason game on Saturday night, 17 – 13.
The Bad News:
Washington did it with their third stringers, which only tells us that Washington’s bench warmers can beat Pittsburgh’s bench warmers. Washington’s 1st string offense looked anemic once again.
More Good News:
The Redskins have a [...]

I took my first knitting class last night at our community recreation center. My neighbor and friend, Joanne took the class with me (she’s nice like that – she’s an experienced knitter, but I invited her to join me and she did). Joanne also invited her friend from work. There was just the 3 of [...]

Where’s My Mojo?

I’ve lost my Mojo.
I was on vacation for 2 weeks and I’ve forgotten and/or neglected everything. And I didn’t really go on vacation! It was more of a STAYcation, but at least I wasn’t at the office.
I’ve lost my blogging mojo, knitting mojo, reading mojo and pretty much have lost my “accomplishing anything mojo.” What’s [...]
A Stitch In Time

It’s certainly nothing fancy, but I’m pleased with my first big knitting project. Far from perfect, but it has a wonderful drape and is very soft and lightweight. . . perfect for a summer baby. I finished the blanket on June 29th and wouldn’t you know it, Zachariah was born that same day. I can’t wait to meet [...]
