Muntu Stitches

When times are tough, this is what I try to do. That, and focus on the positive. It’s hard but I gotta practice what I preach, right? So in pictorial form, here they are:

It feels good to wrap this month up and for it to coincide with Friday, the end of the week. To commemorate the start of March, my birthday month, I guess you could say I’ve already received birthday gifts. The one I’m quite excited by is this…

My brother bought the Nikon D300, and […]

Other than my latest purchases, there’s quite a lot going on at La Casa Muntu. Not too much knitting really except for a nice squishy scarf that I’m knitting up with some of this chunky Malabrigo. I love Malabrigo so much I bought 6 skeins that was on sale at Personal Threads Boutique […]

Day One of back to reality and I’m already wanting to go back into the holiday rabbit hole that was so warm and comfy. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m off to a flying start as I also return to University classes tomorrow as well. During the last couple days of the holidays, I managed […]

Today’s post title is from my Wordpress’ greeting that changes everytime I log in to write a post and it happens to fit perfectly. I’ve been absent it seems forever but this summer has been very busy and I like that. Here are a couple of things I’ve been up to lately. […]

Up early for breakfast and Wimbledon. Summertime has hit with full force out there. It’s hot but I’m active and not completely dormant. Hey, I even ran 8 miles yesterday.
I finally finished my Sockapalooza pal’s socks. Whee!

Pattern: Saucy! from the Cidermoon gals
Yarn: Piece of […]
