Feeling Shmoopy – Thank You, Friends!
Oh, you guys. A couple of weeks ago? It was one of those weeks. You know those weeks – you drop your hairbrush in the toilet, you lose your favorite lipstick, your cat barfs on your clean laundry, and you run out of coffee. And that was just what happened by 8 a.m. on MONDAY. [...]

Photo Assistant
I was taking some finished knitting shots on the back porch this weekend, and had an assistant helping me. “Don’t forget to double-check the background and clone the cat hair out of the shot.” “Maybe you should use a tripod to keep your shots in focus.” “What? I’m checking for dust on the lens!” I [...]

Happy Birthday to Me!
Just a quick note to say that yesterday was my birthday. Hurray for birthdays! Mr. M and I celebrated over the weekend, indulging in fried chicken and cupcakes. It was superb. I was also surprised at work by my generous co-workers, who got me this bouquet of flowers! It’s so cheery in my otherwise drab, [...]

Product of the Week: Dove VisibleCare Softening Creme Body Wash
I admit that I don’t give as much thought to my skin as I should. Granted, I try to wear sunscreen on my face in the summer. And in the winter, I’m constantly rubbing lotion on my shins which seem to dry out and itch the second we turn on our heater. But other than [...]
