"But aren't they slippery?!" is the most common question I get about knitted slippers. And my answer is always some version of "um, they're about as slippery as regular socks?" Slippers are basically extra thick, extra short socks. So if socks don't feel slippery, slippers probably won't. If socks do [...]

Ahem...a package came. Two packages actually. Two packages full of the embroidered notepaper cards I got made just for us. You know, the ones you can absolutely add grommets to and/or clip together with a binder ring, because goodness knows I love me some office supplies. The ones I got [...]

I (may probably almost certainly) have suffered a small lapse in judgement at the thrift shop. Please know that I am aware of this and that I have extremely low expectations. No really, lower than that. Lower still. I fully assume the most likely outcome of this purchase is 'this [...]

Ok so this is one of the least photogenic things ever to grace my personal corner of the internet, but dammit all, I'm proud of myself! I felt fretful yesterday (gee, wonder why, it's not like the nominal leader of the free world has clearly lost every single one of [...]

Alrighty, so you want to see how to do the little doodlybops. Now, my brain says 'the most reasonable and efficient way to do that is to read the nicely streamlined, highly photographed, and actually edited instructions on exactly how to do them that are in the pattern that came [...]
