What do You Raspberry Stitch?

So I've noticed there seems to be a lot of interest out there with raspberry stitch. I have a confession to make... the raspberry stitch tut/pattern that I blogged way back when, was the first time I had even attempted the stitch. Add that to the fact that I pretty much had my tension WAY too tight  didn't help at all. I put it down to being nervous about dropping a stitch. 

All that aside, I am incredibly curious to find out what you all out there are making with your 

raspberry stitch yarn-y wonders. Which got me to thinking... 

Would you like a link up database with lots of raspberry stitch projects - rather like an inspiration board -  one where you could link up a project you have done in raspberry stitch, and one where you could find other  projects to inspire you? If this tickles your fancy, leave a comment and a way to contact you (If your email is available through your blog, don't worry about leaving it in your comment - I'd rather avoid spammers for your sake).

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

A New Phase

There's been a lot of living going on around here (and not much writing, you might have noticed). And it is good. Life is good. I've been basking in the exuberance of my children more since Christmas ('cos I'm sure you know that the week or so leading up to it is usually pretty frantic) - and I am loving it!!! They are so spontaneous. So giving. I am inspired by some of their imaginings. I love it when Mr.5 curls up next to me and tells me a story - he is so descriptive. I even typed out one of his stories as he told it the other day.

I have so much to share, but for now I will leave you with this thought.

Guest Blogging in Another Space

I'm over at Grits and Giggles today helping with the celebrations in Jenilyn's series

Why don't you stop in and tell her I said hi! :)

What a gorgeous morning! After a 35 degree (95 F) Friday and a 36 degree (96.8 F)day Saturday, today's 24 degrees (75.2 F)is SO AGREEABLE. Summer surely kicked in with a bang here. I've been out planting in the garden - it's bliss to have it cool enough to enjoy it. I should try to get some photos of what is currently growing. A lot of it is stuff that I have been growing with the boys. They love helping out in the veggie patch.

 I also wanted to let you know about a series starting over at Grits & Giggles that starts tomorrow...

There will be lots of fab tutorials, patterns and ideas by a great line up of girls. I might happen to be one of those participating  - not saying I'm great mind you! Head over there on Monday so you don't miss out.
