Where Have All the (Crafty) Men Gone?

June 27, 2009 – To my dismay my husband is no longer a knitter. As a child however, he was taught to knit in his daycare/preschool program. And while I meet the occassional man in my shop who is a “maker” of goods, those occassions are rare. Unintentionally most of the goods at Love, Me [...]

Rain Rain Go Away

June 23, 2009 – I am ok with the rain for a couple of days but really a whole week makes me a bit wiggy. (Yes, I stupidly looked ahead and the future doesn’t look bright…) I think days of rain during summer months shouldn’t be allowed. Here that Mother Nature? I think she has [...]

Baggage

June 4, 2009 – I am not one of those ladies who uses a different bag everyday depending on her outfit. I am just not that organized. I have a kid and a business and hectic mornings. I am lucky if I can get E to daycare without any major upsets like forgetting her shoes. [...]

June 2, 2009 – I am back at the shop after a week travelling for my brother’s wedding in Cape Cod. I am behind in my to-do list already! But really happy to have a chance to hang out with my family and see a part of the US that I hadn’t really had a [...]
