Quilting a bit o’summer
| April 29, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft |
Here’s one of the projects I finished while at my mother’s for the funeral. I finally got it done. Now I just need to clear my table so I can use it. Yeah. Maybe this weekend? What have you been doing? more
I need to build an ark…
| April 23, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft |
I’ve been pretty well absent this week and last on the internet. Last week was the obvious – grandmother died, funeral to attend, family to visit, much to do. This week? I’ve gone a little crazy. Allow me to introduce Bentley. Yeah. That right there is my new Boston Terrier puppy, 9 weeks old and… more
Winners!
| April 19, 2010 | Posted by Kate under giveaways |
Winners were drawn a bit late, due to my being out of town for my grandmother’s funeral. I drew for the winners tonight using a number generator, and the results are in: Leprechaun lace: Comment #2, Autumn Joy. Alpaca: Comment #4, Amy V. I will be emailing the two winners for their addresses! more
Death in the family
| April 14, 2010 | Posted by Kate under family |
Patricia Ann Swank (Burkholtz), my dear paternal grandmother, passed away this Sunday night, April 11th, at about 11:30 p.m. It was about time – she’d been very ill and not at all herself for over a year. We thought in March she was on her deathbed, but she rallied, tough bird that she is, to… more

Welcome to the Party!! I’m Kate. I’m not new to blogging, but I took a long sabbatical last year and have just started again with a new domain and a new blog – just in time, it seems, for the blog party hosted at 5 Minutes for Moms. I’m 28, with no kids, 4 cats,… more
Free yarn! Free yarn! (giveaway)
| April 11, 2010 | Posted by Kate under crafts, giveaways, knitting |
Note: This contest was over in April 2010. Thank you! I love yarn. I love it so much I buy too much of it. I’m trying to slim down my yarn collection, because it’s just a wee bit obese – so I’m giving some to two lucky people who comment on this post. One… more
Breadbaking – Mozzarella Rolls
| April 11, 2010 | Posted by Kate under bread, cooking, hearthcraft, recipes |
I love to bake bread. I’m not – I confess – terribly good at it. It takes practice and patience, two things I’m a bit short on much of the time. Sometimes my failures are spectacular – bricks that even birds won’t peck. Sometimes, though, a recipe and I just mesh. These rolls are an… more
That road less traveled…
| April 9, 2010 | Posted by Kate under children, family, fostering, hearthcraft, home |
All my life – at least, since I was a teenager – I’ve wanted to be a foster parent. I’ve always intended to do this – and to adopt. Never wanted my ‘own’ kids, much to the consternation of my entire family. Saying you don’t intend to get pregnant and have a baby is not… more
