Bless Your Heart

Posted on June 25, 2026 by Lori Finding Joy

And here we are in June, still mainlining Noah Kahan (with an odd smattering of Kate Bush, particularly Jig of Life which was apparently written from the imaginary viewpoint of an Irish woman hallucinating while drowning?), and still feeling my … Continue reading →

Posted on January 6, 2025 by Lori Finding Joy

I had planned on making some baked stuffed french toast for New Year’s day breakfast, but life happened and I finally made it yesterday afternoon – and baked it off this morning. It wound up being delicious and it’s all … Continue reading →

Tales from the Couch

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Lori Finding Joy

Posted on October 1, 2014 by Lori Finding Joy

This is another Purl Dreams knit in super-soft Cascade Baby Alpaca chunky, in what I hope is a nice gender-neutral red.  Is it dumb to knit a baby blanket in hand-wash only alpaca?  Probably.  And yet I soldier on, because it’s … Continue reading →
