I spent most of yesterday working on short row heels and while I would like to say that I came away with three perfectly formed heels, I only have one to show for a hard day’s work. Crazy perfectionist in me was ripping out heels at close to midnight – way too late to be [...]

The sun came out at Ikea, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Don’t blink or you might miss it.

Cobblestone Sleeve, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Being the eager beaver that I am, I cast on a sleeve of the Cobblestone sweater on a whim the other day.

Pink Oven Mitt Cascade 128, originally uploaded by alicethelma. I wanted to make a post for Valentine’s Day and pay tribute to one of my favorite colors: pink, of course! It’s fitting that the oven mitt sits on the car seat because that is where Cynthia sat as she looked through the oven mitts last [...]
