You Can Call Me Jack!


I'm a Jack of all trades and a Master of none! I dabble in a whirlwind mixture of everything from gardening, sewing, crafting, cooking, baking, photography,....ok, I think you get it. I've gone to school, classes and workshops for massage therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, bartending, cooking with chocolate (mmmm), growing and using herbs, ....(a career student?) I love learning and trying new things.

I don't care if I've never really "mastered" anything. I don't have one thing I'm perfect at. But when I hold up a quilt (with a couple of crooked squares) that I made with love for my Granddaughter, take that first bite out of a slice of homemade bread (that might be a little too brown on the bottom), or put my (slightly skewed) knitted hat on...all that matters is I'm thinking, "I can't believe I made this!"

Thought for the day ....


The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Guilty About Mini Muffins.....


ok.... I've been wanting to try the "mini pumpkin muffins" in my new mini muffin tin, but haven't found the time! So to inspire me... I'm putting the muffin tin on my stove to remind me to make these!! It's the guilt thing!! Every time I see it empty I feel guilty for not making them! (tough love on myself!)

Yarn makes me happy!


Went to Crafts 2000 and picked up some great yarn. I'm into making hats on my Knify Knitter... it's so easy and you can a hat in no time!
