YIP.8.2 – Happy Bench Monday! From the beach!, originally uploaded by earthchick.
Hello from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida!
I have been pretty much unplugged since we got here (I catch a wireless signal every once and awhile – like right now – but have mostly not even tried; even my iPhone is mostly offline right now). [...]

365.349 – Ubiquity, thy name is Ishbel, originally uploaded by earthchick.
My best friend from college, Jen, lives with cystic fibrosis. When I was growing up, the average life expectancy of a child with a diagnosis of CF was horrifyingly short. A girl in my high school died of it at the age of 15. [...]

365.345 – Hula Hoop, originally uploaded by earthchick.
So perhaps I should rename this blog earthchick … does stuff (and some of it is knitting). Knitting is still happening, of course, but spring always means I want to sew more, and with my 365 project on flickr I have fallen even more in love with my [...]

365.326 – Happy Day, Mama Earth!, originally uploaded by earthchick.
I took this picture standing under the canopy of a weeping cherry tree in the memorial garden of our church. The tree only blooms for a few days each year, and it is spectacular. The first time I ever saw it in bloom was the morning [...]

365.319 – catch a falling star (or five), originally uploaded by earthchick.
One of our students is getting married next month and a friend of hers had a Christmas ornament shower for her last week (her birthday is on Christmas and she loves all things Christmas). Paul and I couldn’t go to the shower, but I [...]

365.318 – the internets were right, originally uploaded by earthchick.
You guys told me (here and on flickr and Ravelry) that:
a) this sweater didn’t look horribly unflattering on me
and
b) I would still get to wear it some in Michigan spring
And yes! I’ve decided you were right. I’ve worn it probably three times now – the weather [...]

365.316 – Easter preparations, originally uploaded by earthchick.
I love Easter, for so many reasons. I especially love all the little preparations involved. The boys could hardly wait to get to work on dying the eggs.
There were mishaps. But we’ll include those in the hunt anyway.

YIP.3.27 – Chevron Love Mitten Kit, originally uploaded by earthchick.
Have you seen Julia Vesper’s Chevron Love Mitten Kit? After drooling over some finished mittens, I knew I was going to want a kit of my own eventually. But I wasn’t prepared for the fact that one of the kits was going to be named Tiny [...]

365.312/YIP.4.7 – spring in Michigan, originally uploaded by earthchick.
O hai, it is April and we have had two days of snow. I am a delicate southern flower and was not raised to weather such cruelties.
It did, however, give Little Buddha once last chance to wear the hat I made him in November. (Don’t ask [...]
