Making mug cozies. Thinking about which button to use. I like all three with this yarn so I think I'm going to make three cozies. #knittingproblems #mugcozy #knittersofinstagram #button

Fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes from the garden tossed with red wine vinegar, Olive oil, red onion and red pepper makes for a sweet summer salad. #backyardgarden #cucumbers #cherrytomatoes #fresh

Morning coffee on the front porch with my loves. Yes, I said loves - my husband and my yarn 😁 #knittingbuddy #coffee #knittersofinstagram

I'm working on a ribbon for hearing impairments. It's silver and gold. I decided to use satin floss for a shine without being sparkly. I had silver, need to get gold. If it finishes up nicely, the pattern will get listed in #etsy #hearingloss #awarenessribbon

Finished a knit pillow. I have a few more pillow forms to use up so I'll be making more. Debating putting it on #etsy. I'm going to have a few for craft shows. #knitpillow #craftymom #knittersofinstagram

We planted black eyed susans to replace our hops. They're growing quickly and blooming. Reminds me of my grandparents' house when they had a large garden. #greenthumb #blackeyedsusan

Got a tiny #frenchhorn stitched up. Now to add the L around it. #bandmom #smb

When #upnorth you need to drink the local beer. We like @keweenawbrewing and can only find a few varieties in the LP. This is our chance to grab others, starting with #pickaxe. #puremichigan #craftbeer

It was a gorgeous sunset on #lakesuperior last night, but the wind was definitely cold! #grandmarais #puremichigan #naturalmichigan (at Grand Marais, Michigan)

Getting a Father's day nap in. I hope one day my boys understand how lucky they are too have two dads that love them.

Ignore the gray hair I didn't quite cover up. Now there should be no mistaking that I can't hear in my left ear. Thanks @jackiewestover_art !

I got a wild hair today and decided to dye some yarn. First one is the result of pink lemonade in a jar, something I'm thinking of calling unicorn hair 🦄, black cherry squirted onto some sock yarn, and another skein of sick yarn that soaked up the rest of the black cherry and purple Kool aid. None of this is meant to be repeated. The sock yarn is by Debbie norville and can be picked up at @joann_stores. Once those are dry, I'll turn them into hanks until I'm ready to knit with them. #dyeingwithkoolaid #sockyarn #creativeequalsmessy #unicorn #pinklemonade

Jar of pink lemonade Kool aid and a skein of white yarn with silver thread. End result should be pink sparkle yarn. I'll leave it out in the sun to soak. #handdyed #dyeingwithkoolaid

They require quite a bit of squeezing but #bloodorange #margaritas are so good and worth it. Made with fresh lemon, lime and blood oranges.
