I’ve not given a lot of space here to my knitting and crocheting projects of late as other aspects of my life have taken-up a great deal of my time. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’ve not been working on anything. On the contrary, I worked on an afghan right up until the movers packed …
This morning I took my mom to the airport for the start of her Nordic journey. I hadn’t been to the Waterloo, IA airport in many years and was surprised at just how nice it was for a very little airport. At the Delta counter (they seem to be the only airline that was serving …
I am trying to avoid housework. This has taken me to such a level that I decided to catalog all the different breeds of sheep fleece that I have currently, both processed and raw. It wasn’t as big of a list as I had thought it would be… Blue Faced Leicester (colored)-Raw Fleece Cheviot-Both …
So, I travel a fair amount. More than some, less than others. I almost always travel for leisure, in fact I think that I have only ever been on one business trip ever! Anyway, I’ve decided to compile this list of tips and tricks that I have learned so that you don’t have to! If …

(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 …
Last week I was in Finland. This was a slightly postponed birthday trip (it seems that my birthday trips keep getting later in the year, if I keep it up at this rate, I’ll be taking my birthday trip in June when I’m 80!) as my birthday is at the end of January. However, I …
Yeah, you got that right. I AM the snot monster! For about a week now I have been extremely easy to track. Just follow the damp, wadded-up kleenex. It has been all, “Code Milky Green!” up in these parts. In other words, I have morphed into my arch villein, the Snot Monster. See, I believe …
Yeah, that about sums up my urge to blog the past few weeks. And I’ve stuff to blog about to be sure. I went to Fibre Flurry in Birmingham and had a great time despite the M1’s attempt at making me miss it entirely. I went to Loop in London, finally. I had dinner with …
