I worked on phase 2 of the craft room projec today. It involves a lot of denial and avoidance. The house is still a disaster and I am a little frustrated that I didn’t get more done (even though I’m not surprised). Currently, I am reclaiming yarn from projects that I will never finish. I [...]

Top 10 Things You Learning While Cleaning the Craft Room
10. You must trip over the dog with every single box or it’s not challenging enough.
9. Once you’ve pulled everything out of the room, it’s too late to change your mind.
8. You may have a minor fleece (fabric) addiction. Make sure to put that away first [...]
Fluffy Clouds of Fiber

A package showed up in the mailbox today. In an stress-induced state of impulse buying last week, I ordered this.
(Photo from exclusivelylindalee’s Etsy store. Anything I took would not do the colors justice.)
And oh. my. gosh. You cannot believe how soft it is. I made even made Sam pet it! If you want fabulously soft [...]
Gettin’ Ziggy With It

Ok.. that’s a terrible pun, but I couldn’t help myself. I just finished the Ziggy hat from Woolly Wormhead. Talk about fun and interesting! This is a very neat knit. It’s knit sideways with a provisional cast on and then kitchenered together seamlessly. It took me 2 days to knit and then I kitchenered this [...]

The Farm
We took Tyler to The Farm last weekend. He was very scared at first because many of the animals were bigger than him. But with some gentle reassurance from Papa and Grandma, he was soon having a great time. (His momma and daddy even took him again today and he was very excited!)
He petted [...]

Two co-workers stop near my cube. “Hello my little Bobola” says one in a Russian accent. I turn, giggling and they go off in a conversation regarding Vodka in thick Russian accents. I work with strange people… But at least they’re amusing!
Edit: I got a comment from the Spelling Police. Yes.. [...]
What the Doctor Ordered

A belated Happy Birthday to America. I’m not going to get into my feelings about the current state of this country. Instead, I’m going to distract you with pictures and nerdiness.
Lately we’ve been very into Doctor Who. Sam has procured the rest of this season for me a bit early and the ending is fantastic. [...]
Meh.

I was grumpy and unpleasant today. I didn’t get much sleep and then I got up and went into work at 7am for Weight Watchers, only to learn I’d gained 2lbs. Not a good way to start the day. Three (large) cups of coffee later, I hadn’t bitten anyone. After lunch and 3 meetings, I [...]
