Woohoo! I’m in Griffindor. What fun.

Ok. Have to admit it. They haven’t even managed to scroll off the bottom of the page yet, and I miss my blinkies already. I’m hopeless! So, I’ve at least temporarily removed the moon phase widget to help speed things up, and have replaced some of my blinkies. Yup. The moon phase widget is cool, […]

What is the most challenging specialty stitch you have ever stitched?
My stitching roots being in embroidery when I was old enough to hold a needle. Mom did a lot of crewel work back then, and I wanted to, too. I’ve stitched a lot of specialty stitches over the years, including a needlepoint stitch sampler when […]

I’ve been having such a fun time reading the stories of the Heralds in Mercedes Lackey’s books, that I had to go find out if she has a web site, in hopes that I can find the order of more of these books on Valdemar, the Heralds, and their Companions. She does: Mercedes Lackey. And […]

I promised Dave that I’d share this. Among other things, he’s been programming websites for a while now, and The Path is actually a public site. He originally did this site about five years ago, and it’s been in dire need of an update. He recently got together with the site owner and his marketing […]

A couple questions from Kim and Nicki…

What are your five favorite books of all time? Why did they make the list? I’m going to count The Belgariad by David Eddings as one book, since it’s one story and to count them all individually would fill up my list! Let’s see. Other all time favorites include […]

Can’t believe I haven’t blogged since Thursday. But then, maybe I can. I got up about 3 a.m. (not really by choice) on Thursday, and had a rather busy day. Then on Friday I arose at 2 a.m. after going to bed at about 10. Can you say, “wasted”? Arg. Very tired. I could barely […]

I still love my blinkies, but my sidebar’s starting to get out of control, and though fun, they don’t add anything useful, so out they go. Here’s the collection, for posterity.

A couple sources for blinkies:

I love my blinkies, it’s true, but it’s time to weed them out again, as I’m […]

Judging by the post history on their Yahoo page, The Knit List is still a very busy place. This pleases me. I was on the knit list years ago (back in its infancy in the late 90s), when I was doing telephone support, and wasn’t very busy. I needed something to do between calls, and […]

We live in a rural area, but since we’re in the middle of Orange County, suburbia is all around us. Some mornings our slightly rural location is a lot of fun. I dragged Ricki out on the deck with me this morning to enjoy things a bit. As you can tell, she wasn’t terribly excited […]
