Ramblings
Last night was the first night in over two months I have gotten ready for bed without double-checking that I’ve put the next day’s yarn in water to soak overnight so that I can start dyeing yarn the minute I wake up in the morning. I kept saying to Tim, “I feel like I’ve forgotten [...]
This is the view from my regular chair in the dentist’s office. It’s a pretty view, but I think they only put people who are afraid of going there in this room. It’s been “my” room since I started going to this dentist in… er… 1993? About a year before I got married the first [...]

Mermaids! A friend of mine asked me months ago if I could make her some mermaids. We had a flurry of back-and-forth emails and then I set to stalking eBay for ceramic molds, waiting for exactly the mold of the specific mermaid she wanted. It took a few months, but one did come up, and [...]
Yesterday I took a day off. I KNOW! The only work related thing I did was unload the kiln, take a picture of it, and post the picture as kind of a teaser since it’s full of custom orders and I wasn’t going to list them that day. Instead of photographing and listing everything I [...]
Let’s get all deep and shit while I reflect upon how just like springtime blooming of flowers, my online shop is growing, stretching, putting out new — WHUTWHUT it’s way too early in the morning for me to be that philosophical. Confliction — I has it! For two years my driving goal has been make [...]
They’d be helping a lot more if they actually got along, and didn’t hiss at each other every time they looked around. Well, Fat Cat hisses. Tiny Kitten just looks through the slit of her eyes, and every time Brindle turns around she swats her one and then immediately shuts her eyes again as if [...]
Back when I took the Intro to Sewing class, I decided to strike while the iron was hot (so to speak) and made space in our little library for my sewing machine. That meant moving the random pile of boxes that was in there, but now I don’t have time to sort through those boxes [...]
… but I threw the fuck out of my back winding yarn the day before yesterday, could hardly move yesterday, and am not much better today. Stiff and sore. No gardening for me, with all that bending and stretching. Not for a couple days (which sucks, because I still have some plants from last weekend [...]
So I had a bit of excitement earlier in the week, and while I don’t want to post the story online where it can be found, I do want to reassure everyone that it worked out, nobody has been injured or sued or jailed, and you would all be so proud of how professionally I [...]
Yesterday I spent a good portion of the day moving between winding yarn and putting out fires (figurative work-related fires, not actual physical fires). In between I would sit at the loom for five or ten minutes and I got this started. Pinkenstein! My first plaid… because really, doing research on how to knit plaid [...]
