Last summer my brother and I walked by a construction site that had been “yarn-bombed” (aka yarn graffiti), and I loved it. I started collecting flowers knit or crocheted by friends (or myself) and today Kurt and I yarn-bombed my own backyard fence. I love it. It’s a beautiful reminder of so many wonderful friends and the visit from my brother.

I made LOTS of holiday gifts this year! I’d love to say it was because I was full of cheer and good will and whatnot… but honestly, a large motivation was the need to feel I was doing SOMETHING productive while laying around home sick and recovering from surgery. So, I made a huge “gift list” and made something for everyone on it – as well as a few items I intend to gift or donate to charity.
Most of my gifts were “kitchen sets” consisting of a potholder and a tawashi (a cotton puff great for washing dishes, cleaning, etc.)
"Skull" set for my niece and her husband (who loves skulls and served in the military)

I’ve been watching a lot of movies and TV shows instantly through NetFlix. My tastes run toward the suspense, thriller, and horror genres. I’ve made a lot of poor choices. Several of the shows I deleted after a few minutes, as they weren’t worth watching to the end. However, I did stumble across a couple of surprises.
