Lots of mugs and soap dishes this week! There’s a “Could be Coffee/Could be Whiskey” mug that I listed a few weeks ago but it never got into an update, new Marie tumblers, and a new owl mug (y’all know I can’t get enough of the owl mugs). New colors …
Somehow I managed to post this everywhere last week except on the blog! A great update in yarn last week! There are a few new things (Soylent Green and School of Circus in Lynn, The 40s, The 70s, and School of Circus in Emma, and a One-Hit-Wonder in Zelazny) and …
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about color. I love color. My favorites are deep, rich colors; reds, browns, greens – I joke that if you can find it in a forest, I love it – but I have noticed in going to festivals and in looking at other people’s …
If you are presently attending church, how did you come to join it? I’m a heathen, so I’m definitely interested in this answer. Especially if it’s the same church your parents went to, you went there as a child, and now you go with your children.
Yarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Ruby River Pattern: Lycaena virgaureae Sock by Hunter Hammersen Started: November 22, 2013 Completed: January 10, 2014 Notes: These fit me!
Whoops! I meant to write this post on Monday (I guess getting yarn club in the mail got the better of my brain). This week I have a small soap update – all restocks, including full-sized bars Advice from a Caterpillar, Coconut Lemongrass, Lavender, Lavender Patchouli, and the guest-sized bar soap …
Is there a cause you would be willing to die for? (I’m not really sure why this is in the politics section of the book, but there ya go.) Hmm. Cause? An inanimate thing, an idea, a belief…? Maybe in my late teens/early twenties, when I cared more (HAH!)… but …
Yarn: HaldeCraft HandDyed Andre in a test skein for “How the Sea was Salt” Pattern: Marigold Socks by pamela wynne Started: November 22, 2013 Completed: December 30, 2013 Notes: Even just the test skein for this colorway makes me wish it were a permanent color – the actual one came out even …
This hasn’t happened in a while, but recently I was on the receiving end of a comment that went (and I’m paraphrasing) something like, “well, it’s not like you’re so busy, I mean, you just work at home. You don’t even have any kids!”. All I could do, really, was …
I’ve never really been a ginormous fan of vending at a show outside. Mostly, because Florida. Everyone wants to do things over the summer, and summer is un-freaking-bearable outside in Gainesville what with the 2000% humidity and zero breeze. My soap can’t handle that kind of humidity, and soap is …
Yarn: Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino (KPPPM) Pattern: simple toe-up sock Started: November 22, 2013 Completed: December 5, 2013 Notes: Technically nighttime PASSENGER-ing, as I was not the driver.
I might have spent all last week working on ceramics, but this week’s update is all for the yarnies – I have a new base (technically a returning base, although in my opinion it does feel mildly different than when I had it before, even though it’s the same fiber …
I had the weirdest dream last night. Pair of dreams? In one, I had a very small room, and in that very small room were about fifty cages with dogs and cats in them. I was only fostering them, trying to get them adopted, but it was slow going. Too …
How do you feel when someone teases you? Honestly it depends on the circumstances, who is doing the teasing, how they sound when they’re doing it, and how I feel at the moment. I’m an only child, so I didn’t grow up being teased by someone who loved me — …
People who have known me a while know I have a fascination with miniature things. Dollhouses, Borrowers, things that look like big things but are tiny (like my sushi or cupcake stitch markers). A couple of years ago I saw and photographed a fairy door in the park near my …
