This post was originally published on Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen. This seems like a good time to update and revisit it. We work our hearts with cardio, we work our muscles with strength training and we fuel our bodies by eating properly. Adding flexibility exercises to our workout routine is not only a restorative change, it…
The felt flowers caught my eye right away in last week’s party. I love them on their own, but there are so many ways to use them. Turn them into garlands, attach them to gift bags, sew them onto plain knit or crocheted hats, use them anywhere you’d like to add some color! Drop by…

This post originally appeared some years ago on Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen. I thought it would be good to update and revisit it. You’ve decided you want to do some resistance training. Good for you!

I’ve mentioned before how my sister Laura is a stained glass artist. She wrote this post about how she restored an old window awhile back. She designed and made a gorgeous panel for a pub in Maine. This time last week we took a road trip to deliver it. We traveled about 1300 miles round…
Tons of great projects last week, as always, I’m impressed by all the creative endeavors you all have going on. I was especially drawn to these 3D paper hot air balloons from Sheri at Hazel + Gold designs. Not only do they look great on the wall of her sons’ bedroom, but a single balloon…
Tarah’s post on her After Divorce Splurges resonated with me. I well remember how liberating it was to pick a pretty floral print bed set after my divorce. My first husband was very controlling with money and our biweekly bill paying sessions became a source of dread for me because I had to justify my…
Let’s just establish right off the bat that I’m not a painter, ok? Still, I had some fun assembling the supplies for my project and learning how to use the Cricut to create my first paint and vinyl project.
I’ve spent some time visiting my grandsons this past week. We had fun, although the youngest one was just 6 months old the last time I saw him. He kept giving me the “Who are you, lady?” side eye. The oldest one has started preschool and has really blossomed socially. That’s part of the reason…
I’ve done did it, y’all. All the crocheting and teaching myself to knit continental style (along with Norwegian style purling) has caused a fairly common injury called crafter’s elbow (widely known as tennis elbow or more precisely, lateral epicondylitis ). It hurts. A LOT. The injury is to a tendon that attaches the muscles of…
