I know these are suckwad pics, they were quickies with my phone in awful lighting. Anyway, I bought this BA little tea pot for Mike last week for him to make tea at work. His tea gets cold before the second cup, so I told him to bring it home and I’d make him a [...]

As I mentioned, my crock pot lid shattered on Sunday, ruining my dinner, and also my crock. On Monday morning, I called Rival’s customer service department to see if I could buy a new lid. I had looked around online and wasn’t able to find the right one. The girl I talked to asked me [...]

I just finished this little mini-shawl, or shawlette. I love the colors. The creamy yellow reminds me of vanilla ice cream, and the pink and blue remind me of frosting, so I call this the Cake & Ice Cream Shawlette. These colors are so pretty for spring.

I decided to start a freeform fiber project. I’ve been thinking about this for a while. A long while actually, a couple of years. Basically, it is just kind of a fun project to help build my skills and also create something totally unique and fun. I will work on it every day for a [...]

Things have been super busy for me lately. Good thing I don’t have a pesky job to interfere with my swinging social life.
On Sunday we headed to Casa de Vargo in lovely Sparta for a VII reunion. It was so much fun, and I’m so so happy that everyone was able to make it. Even [...]

Here are a couple of recently finished projects. The first is a case for my Passport portable hard drive. I didn’t like tossing it into my bag with nothing protecting it, so I made this little sleeve. The second is a draft snake I made for the man cave. Since the door to the attic [...]

So what’s new with me? Hmmmm, let’s see.
First, I have been taking my vitamins and doing my workouts and I am actually getting to bed at a reasonable time at night – which is awesome news. My workouts are getting steadily better and longer which is also amazing news. So things are progressing and I [...]

Mike has been playing Little Big Planet on his PS3 and PSP for a few months. He really digs it, and he loves dressing his Sackboy (the game’s main character) up in different costumes and such. I happened upon a Sackboy knitting pattern several weeks ago, and I happened to have some yarn in my [...]

The last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy with my family in town for the holidays. Instead of writing about every moment, I thought I’d use some of the amazing photos that were taken to tell the story. Click here  to see an awesome slideshow. I tried to embed it, but I am incompetent and [...]

As of about 12:30 last night (or I guess this morning if you’re that kind of person), I am done with the big show, and I finally finished the last of the custom orders I was working on. That means that as far as knitting is concerned, I am a free agent! I took all [...]
