My Cool Friends

On Friday, Laura and I had plans to go to lunch together. We were going to go to Bahn Thai, where we had plans to get the craziest, most delicious sushi. Now, y’all may know that I’m a picky eater, and one of my triggers is the texture of food. So you wouldn’t think that [...]

Yarn: all handspun (by me) Pattern: Spiderman-blanket by AnneM Notes: A knitter friend of mine just had a baby (well, about two months ago) and I am sadly late in knitting this (I wanted to give it at the same time I gave these booties and this pullover).  However, I’m kind of glad I’m behind, because Jasper [...]

I think I need to sacrifice a chicken or something; my ceramic-fu is seriously off these days. Oh, I have ideas, and I have things to work on, and I have no lack of will — but there’s something off, lately, with almost everything I’ve done. Maybe I need to take a week off? Make [...]

Busy day yesterday. Washed and started to block this little afghan I whipped out (the edges are still a little damp this morning but I might be ready for an official finished object photo shoot this afternoon). Started to dye March sock club. Spent an inordinate amount of time overdying it, since one shade turned [...]

If you’re an old-school Gainesvillian, you are now cursing me. Hee hee hee. You should see the look on Tim’s face when I bust that tune out… it’s total revenge for every time he makes that damn phone noise. Here’s my lunch from the Faire; “ye old fruit and cheese plate” coupled with an orange [...]

I didn’t take a picture on Thursday; I thought about it a couple of times but all I was doing was wrapping soap, and I’d think about how to artfully arrange my work to get a pretty picture and then I’d get sidetracked. So then I didn’t put up a post yesterday about what I [...]

Yesterday was a throwback to the start of the year; hanging out with good friends and eating great food. Lynn came up from “down South” (and I say it like it’s a million miles away but it’s like, an hour) and helped me to wrap soap (a day off for her, and a big help [...]

I’m kind of glad Tim took a sick day yesterday because I had on my schedule to fire the kiln and it wasn’t until it had been running for a couple hours that I found out I had all sorts of unexpected errands. Him being home meant I could safely leave without worrying about burning [...]

Yesterday was Tim’s birthday, and I am here to tell you that he ate well! We all went to Satchel’s for lunch (getting there before him to get a table and place an order for our “invisible friend”) and although Tim had to rush back to work, the rest of us walked through Lighting Salvage [...]

Good times, y’all. Yesterday continued the trend of the year so far; eating great food and spending quality time with people I love. We met up for lunch at Chopstix (where they’ve redone the sushi bar and y’all, SWANK!) and then went off to walk around the part of Payne’s Prairie with the 50-foot observation [...]
