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
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

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
For those of you who’ve been viewing my site on an iPad, the site should look a little different now. I took away the special iPad view format with the “swipe” option. I’ve been playing around with the settings and menu options a bunch, but just can’t get it all to show correctly on the iPad view. … Continue reading
Hey all. Just in case you have been viewing my site on a mobile device and can’t see my menu items as easily as on a laptop, or if you’re on a computer and just haven’t gone exploring on my site lately… I’ve been making some changes. The addition I’m the most excited about can … Continue reading
A number of you already know that I am on a slow and deliberate path toward simplifying my life (you may even have joined me in the quest for less!). Some of you may also know that I’m a big fan of Evernote (a cloud-based filing system that I’ve reviewed in my top ten apps for … Continue reading
