Instagram post 17869587070544808 Advent Day Lucky Thirteen! The tea is a Chamomile Mint (which I am going to have to find me some of because it may be the best so far) and the cheese is the third time herbed gouda has shown up. I talked to my friends who gave me the cheese advent calendar because I didn't want her to think I wasn't enjoying it -- she said pretty much the same thing. Cheese is always good, but the reviews of previous Aldi cheese advent calendars may perhaps be... suspect.
Instagram post 17883666244457999 Seaworthy (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/yarn/products/seaworthy). Seaworthy is the light and dark wood of an old Tall Ship, and the dark blue of ocean and sky. The blue spirals through shades of browns, bright through the lighter and darker brown, like waves hitting the side of a ship. All you need is this (and a star to steer her by).
Instagram post 18097931260099443 Four of the random December mugs. I have to admit I'm not sure what to do with these. When I first showed them off, they needed to go back through the kiln, and I wasn't sure if they'd fix up or not. They did, and everyone seemed excited about it, and I took them to GLAM where some people had said they'd wanted to see them in person, and... not a single one of them sold. Now I'm torn between taking them to the Melrose Farmer's Market with me or going ahead and putting them up online. The Farmer's Market may win out only because I'm feeling too lazy to figure out how to list eight different things in a listing that already has twelve things and can't have sub-things...
Instagram post 17843028085867219 The last big kiln firing before GLAM last week... about half of what's here, sold at GLAM, and I'm working on getting the rest photographed and uploaded.
Instagram post 17847548917781513 This One Hit Wonder in Andre (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/yarn/products/one-hit-wonder?variant=7772181725212), a sock weight base, is the best of Autumn leaves! Golden red-brown with a warmth that belies that cold state of the season.
Instagram post 17847112477810035 ... I may have gone a bit overboard with the cabled soap dishes! Who's got a yarn lover in their life? You can find these here (https://www.haldecraft.com/collections/ceramics-the-cabled-collection/products/cable-stitch-soap-dish). Thanks, y'all!
Instagram post 17865836437572553 I gotta be honest, I'm just really not feeling either today's cheese (another hot & spicy) or today's tea (Wild Raspberry Hibiscus). It's been a long day and all I really want is a simple whiskey sour....!

Tim made a funny about how it was just “un-SEAM-ly”

Lorena January 29, 2013 For the torso5 Comments

Guess what is off the needles (although I will still have a neckline to knit after everything is seamed together)? The big part is finished. Now I just need to seam it, knit the neckline, and block the shit out of it. Started in October of 2010… finished… SOON!

Mostly this post is for my friend Stephanie (if she even catches it) and anyone who used to read my blog a really, really long time ago (when Stephanie and I used to work together and would sometimes chat at work or here at Snarkland about dream interpretation). I have …
