My Precious had just had a birthday Monday. As always, he wanted a quiet celebration. So unlike his younger days, when 10 or more little terror guests, mostly boys, were invited. Now, it’s only a family affair.
Last Saturday, part of his gifts was to drive him anywhere he wanted. There was a limit to distance, of course. He [...]

Remember this and this in regards to Lizard Ridge?
Well, it’s done! Seven months in the making! Phew!
Special Notes:
Try not to use darker yarn, specially ones that need to be sewn together many times over. It’s hard on my poor getting-older eyesight.
Instead of 28 squares, I added 2 more to make a 5-square, 6-row afghan. Big enough [...]

KIP #4 was completed 2 weeks later than target completion time of April 25th.
I wanted to keep this tank top for myself but I owe my dear college friend this one. AWR will be surprised, but she deserves it. She remembered my birthday, but I forgot hers and didn’t even send her any card nor called [...]

By now, everyone had either liked their holiday presents and are very happy with them; while others had to return or exchanged them. This year, gift cards were the big winners when it came to gift-giving. Gift card was the non-thought searching, easiest way to give someone who were either hard to give to, or didn’t know [...]

Sort of.
Mr. Wonderful had a birthday yesterday. This year, I thought to make him a special dinner. As Christmas overshadows any other event close to it, anyone who has a birthday days before or after it (or even on the 25th itself) knows not to compete with the ultimate holiday celebration. Or they lose that special attention bestowed [...]

There’s a guilty feeling that not enough yarn-related subjects are posted here when the title of my blog reads Yarn Hungry.
Fear not! I have been knitting, but with not too many proofs.
Remember this? Well, here’s the finished product.
Shrug, Lamb’s Pride Bulky Cranberry Swirl (couldn’t find Noro Iro anywhere in any of the LYS)
This shrug is [...]

A box has been sitting around since mid-November waiting to be filled. I thought I’d fill it up with Christmas goodies for my siblings, Lola and ’mga pamangkin’ (the nieces).
The box is quite ready to be mailed out when the snow and chilly weather struck. Sorry sibs and Lola! This package may be delayed getting to you [...]
