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 …
A few weeks ago I went to the care facility in Allison, Iowa to do a spinning demonstration. My mom usually goes to this particular care center and gives little talks about the places she has gone to and brings pictures and stuff like that, so I had been here before and kind-of knew the …
So yesterday I got yet another birthday package in the mail! It was from my friend Sarah who lives in Chicago with her 2 adorable (and very active) children and her husband and it contained goodies inside for me! There was a TON of cotton yarn! Oddly enough, that is a kings ransom worth of …
I realized that I’ve not really written about what is on my needles, wheel or hook lately. I’ve actually been pretty good about giving all of my current projects some attention each day. It’s just worked-out that one is good for waiting time, one is good for watching TV, and one is good for when …

You might remember me posting about the Easyknits dyed Merino that I was spinning into (really) fine singles. Well, I filled three bobbins with that wool and plied them together to make a really lush, soft and just …
My friend Tini has a new podcast out! Go listen! This is another print that I would love to have. Because, you know, someone living out of a storage unit (Mind you I didn’t say in a storage unit! That’s a whole other level!) really needs another print to frame. Still, a girl can dream …
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 …
