She likened our road trip to the movie Thelma and Louise. Yes, it was two ditzy broads on a road trip — but there the similarity ends. I look nothing like Susan Sarandon (I assume that I have to be her, because I’m older), and Ann didn’t resemble Geena Davis. We were in a Honda [...]

It’s been a nine-month long labor of love, and it’s time for delivery! In the next two weeks, I’ll be collecting the last of the blankets for Share A Square — those are the ones that will be delivered in July. Tonight, the car is packed for a trip to Camp Quality in Louisiana to [...]

Y’all, I’ve been hiding from the computer for months now, as I worked on that Share A Square project. I have to avoid the computer, because when I plop down in this chair, I get mesmerized by the screen. I don’t get a darned thing done all day… and I have a lot of things [...]

Do you remember playing Hide and Seek as a child? You might have called out, “Olly, Olly, in free!” It meant it was time for everyone to come to home base … to re-group. It’s time for me to call that for Share A Square. We are almost to the goal! More than 400 volunteers [...]

It’s uncharacteristic for me to go this long without blogging. I’ve almost forgotten how to log in to my account. For the last five years, I’ve written almost daily on this space, but lately I can’t seem to string two sentences together without talking about brightly colored, crocheted squares. I’m one of those people who [...]

Y’all might have seen me babbling on about the afghans we are making for children with cancer in the project called Share A Square. I thought you might want to hear about Camp Quality from someone other than me, so I asked Chris Jennings, the director of the Arkansas Camp Quality to write you a [...]

Some of my Facebook friends and blogging friends have thought I had stopped blogging altogether. They worried that I had dropped off the planet altogether. No. I didn’t. I wasn’t captured by a band of pirates or secluded in a cloister, either. I’ve just been busy. So have my volunteers! I’ve got lots of good [...]

As the holiday season grinds into full swing, I thought I’d give a full update on the Share A Square 2010 project (so I can make myself move on to other topics). For those of you unfamiliar with it, volunteers from around the world are crocheting six inch squares to put together afghans for children [...]

I just left town to work for a week, and when I came home my craft room had exploded. Not literally, of course. It just looks like a tornado blew through there. My beloved husband had been bringing home the mail for me and piling it on my craft table. Then, I added the afghans [...]
