My mother-in-law’s birthday is in a few days, and her one request was that I whip up a new filler for the picture frame we got her last year. The filler currently in it was pictures of the girls from the previous year, so what I’m doing is the same again. As I’ve taken *thousands* of photos in the past… Read more »
According to the BBC weatherperson, the high yesterday reached 35C (95F) in some parts of England. Today’s high by comparison is much more reasonable 20C (68F). We’ve had the windows thrown open all day to catch the breeze, and it’s been overcast too. We had one teenyquick thunderstorm this morning, but otherwise it’s been cool and dry. It’s supposed to… Read more »
Whelp, I got past the initial ribbing, and then flubbed up the two rows after that. I picked it back, got my head into the game, and am now making good progress into the pattern. The tl;dr is ‘didn’t follow instructions properly’, but at least I figured it out before I got too far. The heat continues to be murderous,… Read more »
Yes, hail, hail to the air conditioner retrieved from the garage. With the temperatures pushing 90 around here, the fans and lack of breeze weren’t cutting it. And we all needed the relief after a not great night last night. For me, my dumbass forgot to take my meds at the right time, so too hot to sleep + not… Read more »
Today, we celebrated Littler’s birthday. She had lots of fun at school, to include getting sung at. She loved her presents, and she loved the cake that I made for her. She helped, to be fair — helped lick the frosting off of the beater! Now Z is tucking two very tired little girls into bed, and I can’t but… Read more »
This is my magical messenger bag. I briefly switched to a ‘proper’ knitting bag for going to my knitting groups, but I gave it up and returned to said bag — because it holds everything and then some. I’ve not even loaded my tech into it, and yet there is still plenty of room. I’ve got my bowl + sock… Read more »
I am pleased, because my second skein of the Chroma wool cooperated with being turned into a cake. I love the watermelon-y feel to it, and after a bit of looking around, i found a pattern that looks interesting. I’m pretty sure that the skein should go the distance, but if not, I might do the toes in the remnants… Read more »
I realised earlier today that I’ve been chewing on my lip. I’m not sure why I have, but like all those ‘bad’ habits, I guess I’ll have to try and pay attention and break myself of it. Again. At least it’s not as bad as when I gnawed a ridge into my cheek, or the callous that existed on my… Read more »
We came, we voted, we… got a hung Parliament. I’m somehow okay with this — to a point. That Despicable May has chosen to form a government with the DUP, and not even able to make a ‘proper’ coalition of it… well. As people pointed out today, the fact she’s having to rely on non-English MPs for various legislation makes… Read more »
Looking at the ball of wool, and looking at the first sock, I think I can safely say that they’re not going to end up near identical. I’m fine with that though, more than fine with it. I’m pretty sure I’ve said it any number of times, but one of the joys of variegated wools (to me) is the little… Read more »
