k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: Building Fences
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2012/07/building-fences.html
Sunday, July 15, 2012. Today we built fences. I feel like there should be a metaphor in that statement, but it's the truth. It was Sunday and we each ate breakfast-for-one. And here, I will. Want to buy it at the farmer's market. I will grow it myself, thank you very much. And you know what? I do believe we will. May make the metaphor, for who knows what plague of vines haunt your yard, just waiting for your summer ennui to kick in so that they may run rampant.). July 16, 2012 at 4:34 PM. Comfort Knittin...

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: Welcome, Frida
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2012/06/welcome-frida.html
Monday, June 18, 2012. Since I can't be in San Francisco to gaze upon her in wonder, I spent some time today on the subway, in a moment of fitful happiness, gazing upon her from afar. Oh, but I can't wait to meet her. June 18, 2012. Thank you, Frida, for arriving. June 20, 2012 at 8:05 PM. I have no idea what you made for Frida, but its beautiful! And shes so lucky to such a wonderful auntie looking out for her already. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Old Gold and Past Drivel. Heres a New One: Garlic.

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: December 2012
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. I found coffee tables on the sidewalk, bought couches from strangers on Craigslist. Cool bookshelf in an alley? Just bring it on in! People do, after all, throw out some really cool stuff. But in the last six or seven years, this kind of street scavenging is absolutely out of the question. At least in major city areas. And if I see a mattress on the street, there is a good chance I will cross to the other side. Was he back from the war or still off in the Pacific? I must admit, ...

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: November 2012
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. For the quilt, the hardest part was picking the fabrics. When I saw this pale pink polka dot, it absolutely spoke to me. The border could have gone lots of different ways.a blue stripe? But no, this floral was the match I was looking for. (I may. Have squealed a little bit when I held the two fabrics together at the shop.). The mouse doll was more of an impulse creation. The blanket needed a friend! Years ago I edited a sweet little book called Kata Golda's Hand-Stitched Felt.

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: Giant Pillows
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2013/03/giant-pillows.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. In my aspirational quest to bring more balance into my life, I have embarked on two things this week, one a little more embarrassing than the other. The first is that I have started doing daily meditations with Oprah and Deepak. Then there must be something to it, right? The other thing I've done to bring balance into my life- and which, consequently, ties very well into a daily sitting-upright meditation practice- is to make these two giant pillows. To Make These Giant Pillows:.

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: Adventure Backpack
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2013/03/adventure-backpack.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. A couple months ago when I dyed my backback turquoise. I had a vision. It was me in cut-off jeans, hiking through an overgrown trail in the jungle. I imagined there would be boulders to sidestep and large, bushy jungle plants I'd have to push back with my forearms. I imagined that it would be hot and sticky, and that at the end of the trail would be something fabulous- a swimming hole with a gushing waterfall perhaps? A tall stand of trees in the midst of a rain forest? And maybe ...

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: Brunch and Meditation
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2013/03/brunch-and-meditation.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. After last week's post. Don't you love to go back in time and see how your fears have evolved? In the first place. Each time I close my eyes, I am sure that I am living my life a little bit better. And I am clearly sailing forward in good company, with those who also want to see all that is beautiful in the world. Brunch - November 2009. Rather than try to describe a typical brunch conversation, I will instead list the topics that Nicole and I covered today:. Follow KYP by Email!

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: February 2013
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 21, 2013. I wouldn't exactly call it a funk. That's not quite the state that I have been in. But I have been quiet, and that has been good. For me, for you, for all of us probably. Right? Unless you've missed hearing from me every week, in which case I would like to say I'm sorry.I've missed you, too! Though you probably know I'm just saying that to make you feel better. And look, now I've made things weird. Sorry! Though, I'm sorry, I'm not going to post a photo of that on my blog.

k n i t y o u r s e l f p r e t t y: New Top, New Day
http://knityourselfpretty.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-top-new-day.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. New Top, New Day. You know how you sometimes hear people say things like "stay in the moment"? Or "enjoy the moment"? Or "savor the moment"? These people are usually yoga teachers or life coaches or a meme on Facebook or Oprah or your aunt on your wedding day. And you know they mean well, and you know that they're totally right. Yes! You say to yourself. I shall live today in the moment! Well, that's how I do it anyway. Not In. The. Moment. People. Why am I telling you this?
