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 …
Today I made an appointment for little Miss Sweetie Pie to get spayed next week. Since it is warming up rapidly, I want to get her out of my room!!!!! She is a teensy bit destructive and annoying and I am tired of being scratched and bloody (it’s how she shows her affection… purr, purr …
I’m really loving these printed bags as well as these. The second bag would be especially great for an emergency knitting/crocheting kit for the car:-) This article made me weep, in a good way. I’ve been watching Round the Twist with Carin as a knitting compliment. I don’t know if the video aspect really helps …

“Normal” person’s answer: I got up, went to work. The commute was hell. Hated on my boss because he was acting like a dick. Ate lunch at that new Mexican place on the corner. It was terrible. Everything smelled like fish except the fish which oddly smelled like chicken. Went back to work for another …
I took Malcolm and Micheal down to the creek today for their walk. Meara and Weezy were originally excited by the idea but quickly changed their minds when they understood just how cold the wind was. The snow from yesterday has stuck around making the cold seem appropriate. It also causes the landscape to appear …
My dogs have adopted a kitten. So far, we are calling her Sweetie Pie as she is very much one. Meara does not like her and wants nothing to do with her. If anyone is interested in adopting her, I would love for her to go to a good home. As you can see, she …
