Since my mother’s death at the end of February, I’ve had a hard time knitting. Most of my knitting projects require a certain amount of attention paid to them, and I guess that I haven’t had that to give. I also haven’t been able to read an entire book for similar reasons. It’s been a …
Famous Hookers. That is all.
The past 6 weeks or so have been unbelievably hectic for me. I am, for all intents and purposes, living in two places. I feel like I am moving on a weekly basis as I pack-up clothes and kit and go from the apartment to the farm, farm to the apartment. Between these commutes, I …
I feel like I’ve been working on this blanket for little Matthew forever, even if it really hasn’t been all that long. It’s just that it’s, well, boring. With my normal scrapghans, I can change color whenever I feel like it, thus alleviating the boredom of non-stop half-double crochets. However, with this blanket, there’s no …

So I have started my spinning again. I couldn’t for the first few weeks that I was here because the wheel was in transport. Then once it got here I needed to find the rest of the bits of it as they were packed away in the bewilderingly labeled boxes. By the time that I …
I know that I’m not the only person doing a seriously skimpy Christmas this year with the economy and unemployment being what they are. But what if you need a present for some sort of gift exchange or for a person who’s given you a pressie that you feel the need to return the deed. …
So, Christmas is fast approaching. For anyone not believing me, just go into any department store and check-out the Christmas displays and music piping from the ceilings. Christmas is on it’s way people! This year, Christmas isn’t going to be a big one for me. With the move and no job and everything else going …
So, all of my stuff was loaded into a container and left the London Thamesport on the 29th of September on the good ship (at least I hope it’s good!) Hoechst Express which is owned and operated by Hapag-Lloyd which is a German shipping company. The ship is “expected” on the 20th of October in …
