This week’s app of the week is actually not an app at all, but I’m including it anyway and hoping the developers will create an app for their awesome site. HomeSpotHQ.com is self-described on their site as follows: “HomeSpot is a free online tool that allows homeowners to manage home improvement projects, prepare routine maintenance schedules and record … Continue reading »
This is not the first time that I’ve written a post featuring Evernote. I’ve extolled (I don’t get to use that word very often) it’s virtues as an organizer of recipes and magazine articles. I’ve written about how I’ve used it to organize my knitting patterns. In addition, Evernote was the app I wrote about … Continue reading »
I currently have nine apps on my iPad and iPhone that I have been using (a lot!) in this process of looking for where we want to live in Portland. Rather than highlight each of them separately in their own weekly reviews, I decided to combine them all into one here today. Even if you … Continue reading »
I’ve been out of town these past few days, so decided to try out an app that I’ve been curious about but haven’t had much use for in my town. The app of the week is called HomeSnap and its purpose is to give you quick, basic information about any house you photograph. The app … Continue reading »
This week as I link up with Ginny’s yarn along, I’m not contributing my knitting progress. Nope, I’m contributing a little techy tidbit that you will find super helpful in organizing your knitting patterns, etc. I find that when I’m visiting people’s sites and checking out their patterns, I often want to save them for … Continue reading »

There are different tiers … Continue reading »

Here are some easy little bits of cheeriness for you. Enjoy! Felted Bunny by Claire Garland | Free and Simple Knitting Patterns Bunny Nuggets by Rebecca Danger … Continue reading »
My app of the week is kind of a two for one. I reviewed Overdrive, an app that allows you to check out ebooks from your library, but I did my review using another app that’s just plain fun. The app I used to write my review is called Storify. Storify is a new app … Continue reading »
Kindergarteners know that it isn’t okay to copy someone else’s work without permission (and even if we said okay, we’d probably still want credit for it). I know the teacher said it was a compliment that they liked our stuff enough to copy it, but it still didn’t seem fair. That’s because it wasn’t. It … Continue reading »
A few weeks ago I made up my own little award to give out to people who crack me up. I gave out five of those awards and immediately found three more blogs that I wanted to recognize as LOL worthy. So, even though it hasn’t been very long since my last “awarding,” I’m going … Continue reading »
