Charity Time

      No Comments on Charity Time

First off, knitting was grand last night. Good company, good conversation, and good event planning. While we’re not a group that is 100% charity, we all like to contribute where we can. So we’ve already got a request for poppies, and some of us are making some hats and scarves to donate to one of the homeless shelters. I originally… Read more »

The Joy of Space

      No Comments on The Joy of Space

I shifted the Christmas stuff off of the back desk-table, and moved my shop stuff back onto it. Oh my stars, the bliss of having the space reclaimed and useful to me! I’m not completely done with organising/reorganising. For example, I think the space between my two black cases is perfect to put my little lightbox in, and the stuff… Read more »

The Christenings

Z bought me the spiffy, temp change Game Boy cup for Christmas, and the fairly accurate knitting mug for my birthday. I realised I should probably bless ’em with their respective beverages, and made it so. I like the heft of the Game Boy cup; I’ve done a lot better drinking water today since switching to it. That might just… Read more »

Ack, Mah Arm

      No Comments on Ack, Mah Arm

I did some Diablo 3 grinding with Smalls today. My arm is feeling a bit tender, since it meant concentrated play rather than sporadic. But I got her from about the middle of Act 1 to the end of Act 2, so that was pretty cool. I myself have circled back around to my US-side, because I’ve got me-grinding to do… Read more »

Not as Planned

I made two sets of stitch markers to replace ones that had sold. Of course, I forgot that the stitch markers I had to hand were thicker than the ones I’d originally used, so they don’t measure up to what I’d intended. They’re still perfectly usable, so it comes as to whether or not I use the same name as… Read more »

Nothing Much

      No Comments on Nothing Much

We’ve not been up to much today, which is ideal. Smalls decided that she wanted to try her hand at Diablo 3, so she now has an account. She and Z played a bit together, which always makes me smile. He’s an awesome gamer parent, with a lot more patience than myself when it comes to co-oping with the girls. Even… Read more »

Party On

Z and I went out for dinner to celebrate the whole me getting older thing. While we were there, I spotted this balloon hanging up against the ceiling, and thought it was probably the most apt photo I could take… so there you go. Happy birthday, random 13 year old probably boy child. Past that, being gamey, a bit knitty,… Read more »

Before the Dark

I had an easy Etsy order come in this afternoon, so I packed it up and walked it down to the Post Office in company of Smalls. It’s still so very dark at 5pm, but it’ll be bright until midnight before we know it. Beyond that, work was work, and the weekend is now. I put up a post on… Read more »

Air Dry

      No Comments on Air Dry

After a successful day ‘at the office’, I topped it off by giving my hair a much-needed wash. It’s at the stage where it’s still a bit damp, but dry enough that I can leave it down and spread to do the rest of the job. I still need to wait a bit longer before giving it a brush, because… Read more »

Oh Yeah, That

      No Comments on Oh Yeah, That

I have hardcore been slacking on my knitting, to the point it was tucked under some stuff instead of within arm’s reach. I fished it out, and have thus far acknowledged its existence. xD I can’t complain though, as there was some payoff this morning. I fully completed Season 19 on the Diablo 3 EU server, and now have a new… Read more »
