Shoes Off, Showing Off

      No Comments on Shoes Off, Showing Off

When it’s a knitting night, I like to wear socks I’ve made to show off. It’s in part to show off to my fellow crafters; I like showing off, but I love seeing their projects too! But also, as a point of inspiration for any rubberneckers who happen go past us. Seeing people sitting and knitting in public elicits one of… Read more »

The Face of Pain

      No Comments on The Face of Pain

I am really stumped as to why, but I have been in a looooot of pain today. My back eventually  unkinked some, but the rest was just… ugh. Some of it felt like baby fibro, and others just… general unwellness, I guess. There was a bonus dose of feeling queasy AF for no real good reason, so I’m definitely ready… Read more »

A Time For…

      No Comments on A Time For…

Today has been a most excellent day. I got some degree of work-work done in the half-day that I/we did. Half day, because it’s our anniversary, and we went out to have a nice lunch. I continue to be glad to be married to Z, and cannot think of anyone who could possibly have been a better match for me…. Read more »

No, it’s not my magic wand, though I guess if I DID have one, it would be a knitting needle. No, this is a tacit reminder of why I almost never use straight needles anymore — one can get lost. One HAS gotten lost, and while I have another pair in this size, I’m super annoyed to have one of… Read more »

Inside

This photo is 500% me being a smart-ass. It is, of course, the inside of my phone case, one of my most photographed objects. This one happened to snap while I was getting my phone flipped to take a picture of me and the visiting friend. We had a lovely lunch, and a lovely visit. He ended up staying to… Read more »

Across the Universe

      No Comments on Across the Universe

We are currently holed up at R’s house for belated 4th of July-ish celebrations. We are also kid-free, which is bliss. The kiddos are with their grandparents, which hopefully will go as smoothly as it did last time. So that’s nice. We all love each other, but I think that we all appreciate having opportunities to do something different/be somewhere… Read more »

Making Progress

I have made some minor progress on getting earrings listed and organised. Which is to say, the easy ones are mainly done. The main problem now is trying to figure out how I am going to do the listings. With the shell bead ones, there are three different styles, and lots of different potential colours, so it’s trying to figure… Read more »

Photograph-ary

I am grudgingly starting to get the earrings I’ve made listed. This has requires me to attempt to find ways to get the earrings  positioned for best photographing, hence the little yellow triangles. It seems to be helping a bit, though I had to make a little one a bit flatter to get… well. Angles. Things. Fancy, ha ha. I… Read more »

I have done a good job of not moving today — A++ not moving, ha ha. I did eventually get to starting the photography for to list the things I made for the fete on the Etsy shop. I’ve gotten through the handful of extra adult bracelets, and have gotten a start on the kid bracelets. I got Smalls to… Read more »

So Much For the Afterglow

      No Comments on So Much For the Afterglow

Okay, if you know the album name, that made you smile. If you didn’t, it probably came off disturbingly maudlin, ha ha. While apt, I was aiming more for the first than the second. Well okay, and to highly the whole ‘I am completely drained after yesterday’ thing, which yanno, was always going to be the case. I did my… Read more »
