    First, let me start off by apologizing for the quality of the pictures this time around. Caffeine and cameras (especially on macro setting) don’t mix. Reference Progress is being made on the socks: The second Taiga sock is started with the color progression matching that of the first sock (after rewinding the ball.) The Pro…

    Woohoo! Another item off of Mr. Penney’s list. (Mr. Penney is quite the keeper of lists, which is, admittedly, helpful in getting things done.) Here are the curtains for the dining room, photos courtesy of the better photographer of the two of us:      These are considered relaxed rod pocket curtains. I used the same…

    Ooooooh! Aaaaaah! This is what Mr. Penney got me for Christmas (among other things.) Ain’t he sweet! I did a fair amount of research on this before buying. When I originally asked for a sewing machine for Christmas, I did not anticipate the price we were going to pay for one. I figured a simple…
