Fiber Friday,
Motherhood,
cloth diapering
I have been purging lately. Not the good kind, wherein you lose a lot of weight but still get to enjoy the foods you love. The other, messier kind. The house purge.
We have so much stuff, and I have been so crazy (no, really – like bats in the belfry, toys in the attic, though [...]

I love cloth diapers.
I know. What a ridiculous thing to love, right? But if you ask any mama who does it nowadays, she’ll probably tell you the same thing.
Not only are they easy to use (no, really – they are), but they are ridiculously cute! Crazy cute. And who can resist an already adorable tushie [...]

Fiber Friday
I know it is Saturday. Let’s call it solipsism Saturday and I’m telling myself it’s Friday. Since I’m the only one who counts, I can do whatever I want.

The Soap Box
I recycle! Yes, I do. In fact, you might say I have a bit of a problem.
I’ve have been asked, and answered with complete seriousness, the question, “Are you keeping this dryer lint for a project?”
I won’t tell you how I answered.
It all started with using wool as a cloth diaper cover. It worked so [...]

Fiber Friday
Just in case you didn’t already think I was a freak, this Fiber Friday post is sure to convince you.
For anyone who runs in the same internet crowds I do, like wool soaker groups, yarn buying co-ops, craft swaps, and 80’s throw back hippie punks (wait a minute – I haven’t started that Facebook group [...]
