Stitching for Literacy Update
Another bookmark from the Redwood Stitchers EGA chapter in Santa Rosa, CA. The Monday “What have you done lately?” accountability post, where I announce my Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy program promotion goal for the week and fess up on last week’s goal. Last week, my goal was to begin rounding up volunteers willing [...]
Reading Roundup
Consumer powers…unite! Note: I mention the title of this book three times. Each time, I link to a different review of it. The last link is to NPR and includes an excerpt of the book. I recently read Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture, by Ellen Ruppel Shell. It’s a book I continue to [...]
Embroidered Bracelet Online Class

This project is wonderfully portable. The Embroider Me! Bracelet Basics and Beyond online class is back, July 19 – 25. This is [...]

If you held a Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy outreach program within the last two years, please let me know where it was held and [...]
Changes Afoot
Yesterday, Sandra encouraged me to post more on Life In Alaska. (Thanks, Sandra!) According to comments and stats, Sandra’s not the only one to like Alaska-themed posts. Hey, I love Alaska and think it’s wildly interesting. (That one’s for you, Becca. Well, and me. And anyone else who wants it because Becca and I are [...]
Life in Alaska
I’ll bet you’re thinking I had some sort of horse/blog-related accident yesterday, right? Wrong! I was simply powerless to access the Web…or the water pump, lights, etc. Yep, the electricity was out. I didn’t think anything of it; it happens all the time. The lower moose is a teenage bull. If you look closely, you [...]
Stitching for Literacy Update
Maureen’s card stock window bookmark. This was inspired by one of the Bookmark Tips posts from the 2010 Bookmark Challenge. The Monday “What have you done lately?” accountability post, where I announce my Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy program promotion goal for the week and fess up on last week’s goal. Having fallen off [...]
Blog Schedule
Whoops! I’ve fallen off the blog horse. I am unhurt, I assure you. I’ll be back on Monday, and I hope you’ll meet me here so we can catch up with things stitchy, literary, gardeny, and Alaska-y. Have a good rest-of-the-week!
