Don't Let This Happen To You ~ post from Kelli

Zombie Knitting, do you ever feel this way? You just keep knitting and knitting and knitting and get nowhere. 

            Happy Halloween!!!

I wish I was fearless.  I would love to experience this.

Not a Knitting Post - by Melissa

Nothing to do with crafting but....

In Seahawk news - if you are one of the many people who took what TMZ said as fact minutes after Fred Jackson's car accident yesterday...

Preliminary report last night from the Renton Police Department:
(most importantly - note in the last paragraph - TMZ reports are false per the police)


Which was followed up today by the final report on the matter:



It's amazing to me how instantaneously things can be skewed and distorted, nationally broadcast as such and taken as fact by all who read.  One of our football players had an accident.  He's okay, in case anyone is wondering.

Off my soapbox.  Carry on.

GO HAWKS!

(Edited to add: if you'd like to read something that Fred Jackson wrote and learn a little about him, as well as his relationship with Marshawn Lynch, you might come away feeling a little (lot) differently about both of them. Role models or not, they are people with lives that matter.)

Husky football, a belly full of hearty soup, a warm cup of coffee and a puddle of knitting (yes, girls and boys, KNITTING!) on my lap.

It's a good evening : )

Make Your Own Story, Lace ~ by Kelli

My daughters know me so well ~ the oldest Kaileigh saved this from the garbage while working one day. Gave it to me for safe keeping...this morning I found the perfect home for it. 
Hand knitted, no idea who, or what pattern. All a grand mystery to come up with your own story ~

fog filled friday - posted by Melissa


Spent a misty, foggy day at the beach, walking the shoreline & breathing in the salty sea air.

It was a good day.

Have a great weekend, everybody.
