(Not an) App of the Week: HomeSpot HQ

(Not an) App of the Week: HomeSpot HQ

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

App of the Week:  Packing with Evernote

App of the Week: Packing with Evernote

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

Apps of the Week: House Hunting Apps

Apps of the Week: House Hunting Apps

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

App of the Week: Shopping List

App of the Week: Shopping List

This week’s app review is pretty cool (aren’t they all, though?).  As you can tell by the title of the review, the app I’m reviewing is Shopping List (from Recipe.com).  I had a lot of fun making my grocery list with this app last week and decided that any app that makes creating a grocery list … Continue reading

Yarn Along: …with Evernote

Yarn Along: …with Evernote

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

App of the Week: Bump Pay

App of the Week: Bump Pay

Many people have heard of Bump, a free app you can use to easily transfer pictures and contact information to another person simply by bumping your phone against theirs.  It’s pretty cool; I like it partly because it has a satisfying little brrrrzzzz in your phone when it transfers, making it feel kind of like when … Continue reading

App of the Week: Audible

App of the Week: Audible

My app this week is a free one called Audible. Audible.com, as described on their site, is “a premier provider of digital audiobooks and more.” The way audible works, you sign up for a membership which allows you to use credits for free books or purchase books at a discounted rate. There are different tiers … Continue reading

Yarn along:  Come on, Spring!

Yarn along: Come on, Spring!

This week’s Yarn along is kind of fragmented for me. I have a number of things that I am finishing. All that stuff from last week… it had tails. Yep, I hid the tails and pretended they were totally done. Now I need to weave them in. Maybe I’ll finish that tonight while I watch … Continue reading

Selection Sunday & March Madness apps

Selection Sunday & March Madness apps

I love pools.  I like the swimming kind and I like the betting kind.  In a little over a week I will be enjoying the swimming kind and I’m very excited about that… especially because it’s currently snowing here.  Blech.  Nice in December.  Cruddy in March. But this post isn’t about swimming pools.  It’s about … Continue reading

Spring knitting

Start knitting yourself a little spring!  As I write this, there’s new snow today, so I’m needing to create a little color and optimism… maybe you are too?  Here are some easy little bits of cheeriness for you.  Enjoy!
