Currently I am attempting to choose and pack away all the clothes that I am going to be wearing for the next few months. And keep it all under 100 pounds. Oh and pack all the “other stuff” that I would mourn if the container fell off the ship (yes, I do worry about that, …
The time for me to leave England is drawing near. This September I am moving back to Iowa where I grew-up to be closer to my family and to get to live in the Midwest of the US again. I have wanted to move back for at least the last 10 years, just couldn’t do …
So I figured that I’d share with y’all the totally rocking day that is this Thursday for me. What I’m up to: +Packing travel knitting for The Netherlands. (Spending a week+ with the designer seems like a good time to knit one of her patterns if-you-know-what-I-mean.) +Filling-out a scholarship application. (I probably shouldn’t try to …
So, it’s been a few weeks since I last wrote for you my faithful readers. I’m sure that you have also been busy with the holiday season so I hope that you don’t hold it against me too terribly much. I’ve had an interesting holiday season working in the department store. All I can say …

As I was driving back from the “20/30 Something Knit Night” tonight at Crazy Girl Yarn Shop (more on that later) I was listening to a Des Moines “Lite” Music station. Now, this would not be my normal choice for music stations but it seemed that everything else that I could get on the radio …
I keep trying to pack only to find myself stymied by the fact that I am going to need to wear/use some of the items that are still on the list in the remaining 10 days that I am here. I should be outside enjoying what little I have left of the lovely English summer except …
Here is my shopping list for the US so far*: Kool-Aid Believe it or not they don’t sell this paragon of sugary virtue here at all. However, I don’t want it to drink, I want it to dye with as apparently it makes an excellent wool acid dye that doesn’t smell bad and it pretty non-toxic. …
Today I am having one of those days where everything is going great. You know, one of those days that you think that you really should be working towards world peace as you could probably get it worked out by noon. One of those days that you think that you really should go shopping as …
