I have a confession to make; a knitting confession to be exact. It is something that I am rather embarrassed to admit. It actually has me so embarrassed that I never want to knit in public for fear that a fellow knitter may do a double take because I look rather strange. In fact, a [...]

I recently requested some knitting books from my local library. I just love the library but I will save those ramblings for another post…..

Eucalyptus is another herb I really like to have around the house, especially this time of year. It is so good for colds and stuffy noses. I am prone to sinus infections so I like to keep a bottle of eucalyptus essential oil on hand. When my nose is stuffy due to allergies or a [...]
