I am gemmadw on  Twitter and Pinterest, DoeWalking on geocaching.com, and DrGemma on Plurk and Instagram.

What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:

Mother Bear Project--the website, for info on making bears.

Finished:

Various socks. Of interest: The repaired ones, after the Invasion of the Sock-Nibbling Vermin Mice!




Pussyhats.


In Progress:

Gray Dawn--another Collie scarf for the Terhune Sunnybank memorial



The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller. No, I have neither finished not forgotten this one...

Or this one:

Eleanor Scarf--spun from Eleanor's undercoat and knitted in my favored checkerboard pattern.


Dizzy Blondes: 
 I now weave on the smallest of the Schacht Looms. All handspun so far.


Strategy:

If you MUST demand change from people, do it with a slow plan. Give them time to cope with changes, help them mourn the perceived losses, and wait for the moment when they see the improvement.


I cannot recommend these folks enough! 1-800-GOT-JUNK

Put a Lid On It:

No serious canning or cooking, but I am gearing up for the Spring 17 cherry harvest in a few months!.

My favorite books:

Aw Shoot!

Working on bringing weight down with My Fitness Pal app. 2 bouts of Evil Lung Disease and a cracked rib from coughing. No real exercise so far.

Something I Really Like:

Dashbot: $50 to make your car truly hands free and interactive.

Life in the Molehill of Early Childhood Mental Health....

I missed you all at Stitches West!

My new Pokémon Go Plus....



...For use at Universal when we visit Hogsmeade to hang with Harry Potter....



Calendar:
