Trish's World

It’s been a while, and I know, I’m totally lame. I’ve actually been pretty busy for a jobless waif!
Houseboating last weekend was awesome as always! I didn’t take many pics because the landscape really hasn’t changed, plus it was rainy and/or overcast for most of the trip this time. The weather has been better, but trust [...]

I heard recently that Polaroid film is making a comeback, thanks to the people at The Impossible Project. They started selling black & white film a few weeks ago, but I haven’t been able to get my paws on any….yet. Color film is supposed to be available sometime this summer.
I freaking love Polaroid. Instant cameras [...]

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 [...]

On Friday afternoon, Mike & I decided on a whim to hit Battle Creek and go to Horrock’s. We hadn’t been there in years and it’s a pretty cool store. On the way, I finally got a chance to check out Your Local Yarn Shop on Columbia. Wow, it’s really big, nice, and they have [...]

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 [...]

I am in Grand Rapids this week staying with Mike’s mom who had surgery on Friday. She had an ankle replacement, so I am working from here during the day so she isn’t here all alone and also helping her out with laundry and such. It isn’t too bad except that I miss Mikey so [...]

My phone issues are a freaking nightmare. I got a new phone yesterday, it has the same problems as the last one, plus none of my phone numbers are there! I’m very disappointed. I’m working with the dudes at the store to get the problems fixed, hopefully it will be soon!!
Just made this yesterday! I [...]

These last couple of weeks have been sort of crazy. Work has been really busy, and in my off hours I’ve been getting ready for the show and working on some custom orders. I also met up with my friend Laura last Thursday, and she helped me decide on prices for the show, and she [...]

I’m really really tired today. For some reason, I haven;t been able to sleep the last couple of nights, and it is starting to be a problem. I just lay there for hours, and then once I do finally get to sleep, I keep waking up and tossing & turning. I always toss & turn, [...]
