So, one of the many things that are going to be difficult to get used to in this country is the customer service in the stores. I’m hoping that it will be a bit different out in the country but I’m not terribly hopeful. I did end-up going to a yarn store in London. I’m …
Yesterday was my 31st birthday. Yeah, it was my 31st on the 31st. I guess that the majority of people have their age and the date of their birthday match sooner than I did which is probably why everyone kept giving me these odd looks when I bothered to point it out. Anyway, I …

Today I mailed off the burrito. I wanted to get it off as quickly as possible since it is already getting pretty cold up in the great white North. Here is a picture that I took of the totally completed burrito. Here is another picture with a corner folded over to kind of get …
I keep not wanting to go to crochet group and then go knowing that I would regret not going if I didn’t. Seriously, they are my prozac. I feel depression trying to edge in on me and I know that I need “my people” now more than usual, but it also makes me just want …
