Both weird and cool
So the other day I asked which slipper we should bring back (to add to the list of slippers currently available as part of the ongoing slipper phase, Rampant Nonsense and Notable Nonsense folks wander over here to download the ones that are already available), and you picked these lovely, [...]
Sneak peek at the next mailing
Ahem...I've been walking around with a pocket full of these spreading glee everywhere I go. And, having tested this out on folks locally, I'm going to be Expanding The Glee by flinging them into the void, more specifically into the mailboxes of Notable Nonsense folks. Now, I have to go [...]
Fields of flowers
The daisies continue to proliferate. I'd say it wasn't my fault, but given that I spending ten minutes of my life on this earth joyfully stitching each and every flower, that would be an absolute lie. They fill me with glee, I regret none of my blanket based choices, I [...]
Now about those holes
The blanket saga continues. I suspect this is from the 70s (ish), based on nothing more than color, condition, and general vibes. And it, like most other things existing in the world for the better part of half a century (cough, me, cough), has acquired a few holes along the [...]
Unbound
After washing and drying the blanket, I looked closely at the binding and decided it was, alas, too far gone to save. So I took it off. That meant sitting on the deck with a seam ripper for half an hour or so and just snapping all the little stitches [...]
Help me pick
So the current Rotating Collection is all about slippers, and we've got a couple more to add to the club! There's a new pair coming shortly, but first I want to update and bring back one of the retired favorites. And I want you all to help me pick. Should [...]
Salmon?
The thrift store gods smiled upon me once again! Or at least I think so, and feeling like good things are happening is a more fun way to go through your days... I found a huge (big enough for a double bed), pink, vintage wool blanket at the thrift shop [...]
Monthly Reminder
I don't have anything new to say. This is one of those horrible ongoing emergencies where everything is just all bad and overwhelming, and has been bad and overwhelming for a long time already, and will continue to be bad and overwhelming for a long time to come. All I [...]
Thrift shop score, and one to share
Remember when I said I was going to be away for a couple days earlier this month? Yeah, I was down in Vermont to see a show by my very favorite band (The Mountain Goats, if you know, you know, if you don't know, you're in for a treat). And [...]
Follow the plan
I posted the other day about the lovely yellow sweater that seems determined to cut off my blood supply at the armpit and my plan to thwart its nefarious intent through the power of knitting and stabbing sewing. This is a much worn and oft washed cotton sweater, so the [...]
