The problem with taking pictures of white shiny things is that they look very flat and white and shiny. I tried to soften it with a filter, but … meh. Clearly I am going to have to work to make the lotion look enticing! This is the massage lotion, already in use at West Family [...]
All day yesterday I kept thinking it was Sunday. Does anyone else do that on holidays? Bonus Sunday! Yay! On Christmas Day when we came back home to let the dogs out and have a little nap time, I opted for (instead of napping) adding the knitting books I got for Christmas into my knitting [...]
Our friends Laura and Chris has their new baby this week. Jaz also has an older sister, Chloe, who thinks he is “beyond awesome.” He’s also now missing one fat cheek because I ATE IT. That’s OK, he’s a healthy dude; we were joking last night that Lala actually gave birth to a 3-month old. [...]
Yesterday was the kind of day where I aaaaaaaalmost bit off more than I could chew. I had to go to Melrose to take inventory at Shake Rag, and Mariana was coming over to do a work photo shoot so we could make some new ads to run on Ravelry, and for some reason I [...]
Yesterday was a good day, other than me trying to do more than I really had time and space for, and stressing out about it a bit, and not having enough water to drink so this morning I’m a little dehydrated and paper-thin and a touch cranky. But I don’t even like to use the [...]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarn! Sneak peek for all you pink lovers; Pretty in Pink will be coming back in January, if not sooner. I wouldn’t bet on sooner, just because it’s about a three-week turnaround from when I start to do something to when it starts to show up (but you probably already knew that). Also? About half [...]
In no particular order, here are some of the many things I am thankful for. My family of origin, both here and not here any more, for all the things they taught me both overtly and unconsciously. I am who I am because of you. My family of choice, for the patient and hardworking do-right man [...]
The rest of my 2011 daily photos can be viewed here… even when I forget to pick a favorite on Friday.
Long post ahead! Grab a drink! One thing that I DO NOT MISS about having a Real Job is yearly evaluations/performance reviews. Ugh. (OK, technically those are two things, and I should have used “are” rather than “is.”) Doing everything myself means – at least to me – that on some level I am constantly [...]
