A little light reading

Look what I borrowed from C.Lo today:

She and her husband went to a book release party last weekend, bought two copies, and read them in 10 hours or so. Now, a week later, I get to tackle this monster! Have you seen it? It’s a good 2 inches thick …
Meanwhile I’m working on the […]

This is your life.

So in attempting to answer the latest birthday meme (no, I wasn’t tagged, want to make something of it? I have noticed, however, that many people aren’t tagging anyone anymore, so I guess that can make me feel better), I’ve found a few interesting things.
I did what I was supposed to, go to Wikipedia and […]

Damned Ravelry!

(You’ll see on my profile page that I like to curse. I’m keeping it PG-13 for you guys.)
I really hate to talk it up too much since it’s not nice to the people who are still waiting for an invite, but let’s just say I just found the section where you can list which knitting […]

“Vacation”

Every year we go to NYC to visit my grandfather, and actually last year we drove down to spend a couple of weeks in Maryland with my family (you might remember my MD yarn crawl last year, where I found a really nice store, Eleganza in Frederick). This year DL had another incident so […]

Another F.O.!

I finally wove in the ends on C.Lo’s shawl today. Of course I had to stop by Jo-Ann and buy a Chibi, but at least I had a use for my 40% off coupon. (Oh, and buy some discounted beads and cute black sheep tape measures.)
It fits great on DL, who went for […]

Weird things #3-6

Remember way back when when there was a meme going around with 6 weird things about everyone? Well, you might also remember that I couldn’t think of 6 right off the bat (although I knew there were way more than 6 weird things about me), so I added them piecemeal. Numbers one and […]

My last acceptable photo

Here is the last photo I was able to squeeze out of my digital camera before it finally gave up the ghost:

Here’s one of my most recent necklaces.  Can you believe I totally forgot to go to the bead show that was within walking distance to me last weekend? I’m really kicking myself.

Ugh.

ETA: Yeah! Casey says that before they officially open, Ravelry will support other photos. Now I need to get a new camera and I’m set!

I really, really do try to stay positive. However, for some reason I always end up getting the short end of the stick or having a negative experience […]

Lazy Friday.

Well, I didn’t get to see the Chronicles of Narnia or anything, but I did spend a few hours cooking (yes, me!) and dyeing yarn.

I am the worst color person - I tried to make purple and green yarn, and so far I’ve gotten a grey mess with some purple and blue highlights. My […]

Summer TV

Why, when we have new programs and something different to watch, does it seem like summer TV doesn’t get it’s due?  Sure, there aren’t tons of new shows, or any new Dirts or The Offices to watch, but we do have The Closer, My Life on the D List and The 4400 to look forward […]
