Your Turn
I'm meeting with the photographer for Book the Second on Thursday. We'll be having a planning meeting, wandering the halls of our photo shoot location, and generally plotting how to make this book extra awesome. I have my list of 'things to ask' and 'things to insist upon.' But I'm [...]
Momentum, Part 2
We had always intended to use carpet tiles, or something like them, for that entrance. It seemed easier than taking up the linoleum. The house and I have a slightly wary relationship. I like it. Love it even. And I admire it for sticking around for 91 years and counting. [...]
Gripping
I've got a quick little treat for you. We all know I'm shamefully easily amused. I have a suspicion one or two of you may suffer from this condition too. So I've written up some quick instructions for making your own squirm of tentacles. You can use more or less [...]
Momentum
So you know how you get one project done, and then you find yourself inspired to do something else...and something else...and something else? Yeah. Me too. Now sometimes that's cool and leads to scads of productivity. But sometimes it leaves you sweaty bleeding and swearing on the floor. I know [...]
Book Yarn, Part X
An exciting thing happened yesterday. The nefarious scoundrels lovely employees of the customs office released one of my packages and the saints of fed ex brought it right to my door. In that package was the very last of the projects for Book the Second. That means that I currently [...]
Maybe Not
I'm not sure the park was the answer. Now the walk was nice, and posing the tentacles proved alarmingly entertaining. They enjoyed their trip to the park, and I very much enjoyed the perplexed expressions on the faces of the various onlookers as I posed the tentacles and photographed them. [...]
A Squirm?
My camera battery is charging as I type this. Once it's done, I'll pop it back in my camera (no really, this part is important, if I forget it, I swear a lot), put my camera in its bag, and walk to the park. While in the bag, my camera [...]
Dear Sir
Dear United States Customs Officials, I know that it is unlikely that you have a grudge against me or that you spend your days dreaming up ways to make me unhappy. Unfortunately, your actions of late have made me realize that there is a difference between things that are unlikely [...]
Testing?
In a testing sort of mood? Go volunteer over on ravelry. All three of the mitts inspired by the house painting blues are ready for someone else to beat them up. Each of the three patterns is super quick (maybe 4 hours per mitt) and takes less than 100 yards [...]
Keen
Today was the first really crisp day of fall. It was absolutely lovely. I even put on some wooly socks. The timing is excellent...since yesterday the air conditioner decided to go on strike. I'm sure this will be convenient and inexpensive to fix, because home repairs always are. Sigh.
