Lunar

      No Comments on Lunar

The pattern I am working for this pair of socks is called Solar. The socks shown on the pattern are a gorgeous bright variegated orange. So of course, my Chroma starts off purple and blue, looking more like the night rather than the day. It’s currently working towards light blue, green, and then springy greens and yellows, so. It should… Read more »

Thief!

      No Comments on Thief!

I got up to go cuddle the girls on the couch earlier, and their response was to run over and claim my chair. Hrmph. Good thing they’re cute, right? *chuckles* And really, I didn’t mind, seeing how it was all a chance for more cuddles and tickles and playing! Today has been a brilliantly do-little day. I’ve done a tiny… Read more »

My Own Cake Wreck

      No Comments on My Own Cake Wreck

I’m not exactly sure what was going on, but my attempt to turn my beautiful Chroma wool into a cake crashed and burned badly. I’m not sure if it was down to how the wool itself was constructed, or the fact that my winder is well-loved. I’ve been having an increasing number of accidents like this, so it might be… Read more »

Snarkasm for Sanity

      No Comments on Snarkasm for Sanity

Pretty much the first thing I saw this morning was a message window waiting from bat. There were two words, two words I knew I’d see before I even clicked the window — ‘mom’s gone’. We’ve lost our mother, yo. Not my blood maternal, but the more important built me up and made me feel worthwhile one. I’m still processing… Read more »

Toebeans

      2 Comments on Toebeans

I looked up earlier today and spotted Poison bathing herself most assiduously, so of course I had to take a million pictures of it due to cute factor. I think this was actually the first one, which met the criteria of ‘lots of flashing tongue’.  But like, so cute.  Add in that she was pretty quiet today, and that was… Read more »

Tick Tick Tick

      No Comments on Tick Tick Tick

I’m sitting here trying to think of words, and not having a lot of success. It’s a pretty pleasant thing all told, a sign that I’ve done a good job of keeping things low key today. Childling was cared for, bath was obtained, and I’ve managed to cajole myself to putter around a couple of steps an hour. I’ve made… Read more »

Let’s Make It Happen!

      No Comments on Let’s Make It Happen!

If there was one thing that I wanted to make myself get done this weekend, it was getting the shawl finished properly. It only took me a few minutes to sew in the ends, and it’s currently out of rinse and having a little dry before I pin it up the blocking board(s). I’m not as convinced by the power… Read more »

Chugging Along

      No Comments on Chugging Along

One of the best things about having visitors over is, besides the joy of visitors, is that I actually work on my knitting. Smallhausen had asked me yesterday to extend an invite to E, J, and j to come hang out, an invite that was graciously accepted. It’s always nice when they do, especially since it only works out to… Read more »

Doing Nothing Quite Well

      No Comments on Doing Nothing Quite Well

Today has been a do as little as possible day. In Z’s case, he’s managed to tweak and pull all the things, so existing isn’t fun for him right now. And me, I just wanted to zone out and ignore people. So of course, Smallhausen wanted to show me how they do math at school, and play Minecraft with me,… Read more »

Cheerfully Exhausted

      No Comments on Cheerfully Exhausted

I am exhausted, and in a great mood; I figured that the subject line probably portrays that as intended, ha ha. It’s been a busy week, what with having to do the full three day school run (going up to every day next term, eek!), work, socialising, and all of that. It’s fine though — it’s been a good week….
