Stopgap
So I had this necklace (and earrings to go with it too). I liked it rather a lot, but I never ever wore it. Why you ask? Because of the clasp. This clasp drove me insane. It's meant to make the necklace adjustable and be lovely and decorative. But there [...]
Goddess Collection, Review and Giveaway
[note]The giveaway is closed. Winners have been notified. Thanks to all who entered.[/note] I never quite manage anything as formal as resolutions, but I do believe in lists of things to do or things to learn. One of the things that's been petitioning for a spot on my lists is [...]
Small Things
I'm not sure what happened. But somehow, I find myself not just in possession of a whole whack of stitch markers, but excited by them. It could be because they're so damn perfect. They work as regular and locking markers, they fit up to about a size 10 needle, they [...]
Laze
A certain amount of lazing about is good for a person. It is my firm conviction that, if I work hard all day every day, I stop doing good work. If I don't take the odd day off (or two...or three...in a row) and accomplish absolutely nothing, my brain goes [...]
Older than you’ve ever been…
I have, once again, gotten older. It seems to keep happening. So far, I'm liking it. I'm spending the day checking out new breakfast joints, making eggnog, and playing board games. I hope you're doing things you love just as much. And, on the off chance one of those things [...]
Your Turn
The internet is nifty. In addition to making it possible for pizza to appear on my front porch without ever speaking to a human, it's also made it possible for an awful lot of people to make things they love and put them out in the world to find their [...]
One Down
Great progress on the sock front. The first one is done (properly done with ends woven in and blocked and all), and the second one is on the needles. I'm pleased. I'm also, you will note, inside. That's because it's snowing outside and warm and toasty inside and I'm not [...]
Small Things
Potatoes can be cruel. They tempt you with their tremendous potential for creamy, roasty, buttery goodness, but far too often they fall short of perfection. There are so many places they can go astray - overcooked, undercooked, under seasoned, mushy, mealy - it's heartbreak waiting to happen. But because I [...]
Amoeba? Or Egg?
I am a firm believer in both sweaters and pajamas. And sometimes, when a sweater has put in lots of hard service as a piece of 'go out in the world' clothing, it gets to retire and be relabeled as pajamas. Such was the case for this snuggly, purple zip [...]
Where Do Your Toes Start?
Well, not so much your actual, personal toes. I'm assuming those start towards the end of your feet. I more mean where do your sock toes start. I ask because the yellow socks are looking a lot like this: That's the point where I have to try them on every [...]
