Camping at Cedar Springs, Part II

As promised, here are photos of our spelunking adventures! (Granted the whole trek only took about 5 minutes, but it was still fun to check out and the hike out to the cave was lovely.)
Aaaaaaaand there you have it! That’s Boulder Cave!

Camping at Cedar Springs, Part I

We took off last Friday and went camping last weekend. I realized once we got to the camp site that I hadn’t been camping in over a year. It seems like we used to go a half a dozen times each summer, but I don’t think I went at all last year! That probably explains [...]

Repurposed

(Inspired by Twisted Knitter’s recent blog post.)
We have a running joke in our house that almost everything in the house has been repurposed for another use, and almost nothing is used as it was originally intended. We have portholes for windows, an old freezer door as a bathroom door, and Christmas lights hanging in our [...]

True dat

I flew back to Chicago last week for a couple of days, and even though it was a short trip, I was actually proud of myself for not losing anything! (I am notorious for losing stuff on trips! Just ask me about my trip to Costa Rica last year)
So I’m feeling all proud and organized, but [...]

A wonderful surprise

If there’s anything I like more than getting yarn (or a gift certificate for yarn), it’s getting yarn from a non-knitter! My friend Kelli surprised me this past Christmas by getting me two skeins of this beautifully hand-dyed ORGANIC merino aran-weight wool from Nurturing Threads. I’m admittedly not a big fan of variegated yarns, but [...]
