By Madame Purl, on August 10th, 2010 The contest is now closed. Thank you to all who entered.
When I was contacted by Stephanie – Biffy Beans – about reviewing a webbie and doing a giveaway, I jumped at the chance. As a lover of notebooks and fountain pens, I have a special fondness for Rhodia products and this one did [...]
By Madame Purl, on August 6th, 2010 I did something new this week. I signed myself up for digital photography courses this fall at the local community college. The community program not the regular student program. Now I will keep my fingers crossed they will go. They have to have at least 5 enrolled for the classes to go. I have not [...]
By Madame Purl, on May 2nd, 2010 If you didn’t know – I’m a bug lover. Bugs, butterflies, frogs, toads, I’ve even picked up the occasional garden snake in the garden. I used to feed the birds, but between the Coopers Hawks and the Eagles – they made me nervous to let Coco out.
Anyhoo, I noticed on Friday that there was [...]
By Madame Purl, on July 6th, 2009 I finished La Novia last night. This is going to be one of those really warm, snuggly scarf. Just needs a good blocking now and it’s going to take a little while to pin it all out right. I think it will be worth it as it will open the pattern up.

This is bunny two. All of [...]
By Madame Purl, on June 27th, 2009 Today’s Saturday sky is slightly overcast, but it looks like it’s going to clear up.
They said something about rain maybe later. At least it’s not so hot you melt just walking outside. I hate that. I would rather have it on the cooler side than hotter any day. It’s the wool lover in [...]
By Madame Purl, on August 1st, 2008 I’m terribly allergic to everything in the garden. I touch one thing and I will break out in hives. Hence we have some very pretty and interesting weeds that popped up this year.
Sunflowers from the birdseed.
And these interesting thistle looking things.
The pickers on them [...]
By Madame Purl, on November 9th, 2007 Last night I was sitting at the computer when I heard a ding. I thought something may be trying to scale the baffle and for sure I was right. Slowly we made our way to the window just to raise the blind slightly when we saw a very healthy raccoon out there – munching away. [...]
