But then, if they were good dreams, if I liked them, they wouldn’t be nightmares, would they? I often get them if I’m too warm when I sleep, but usually they’re quick, and are soon forgotten when I wake up. Not this one, though. Luckily it was almost light out, anyway, because I had to […]

I caved. I couldn’t help it. That super soft, lovely green alpaca yarn has been calling to me, and rather than ambling along on Amble I’d come to a complete standstill, and wasn’t happy about it at all. So, the other night I cast on for Kiri, and got to about row 10 of chart […]

Here’s another set of questions from Nicki.

What’s the worst book you’ve ever read? I think the worst book I ever read that I bothered to finish was one I found in the stacks at the local main library when I was in early high school. It was called The Cross and the Sword. No […]

I needed a break yesterday (yeah, that was it), so I wound my lovely hanks of Alpaca Cloud into cakes. Almost good enough to eat. Sorry about that bright bit of light in the middle of the winding photo. Seems it was coming in the dining room window, and I didn’t even notice. Bummer.
During winding […]

How do you “non-hoopists” who use a rotation system handle it (as it seems to be lot easier if you are in good terms with hoop)? Do you have several scroll frames? Do you use Q-snaps or maybe something completely different? Or do you just have one or two big projects and others are small […]

I do. I know. I’m weird. But we already knew that. Loving fog, as I do, is one of the reasons I loved living in San Francisco so much. Perfectly suited to the weather there. That’s me. I especially love fog when it’s magical, like this morning.

I took this photo just a few minutes ago, […]

Except for the socks I made for Dad (which took years, but mostly because I lost them for a time), I think my Ambles are taking longer than any other sock I’ve made so far. And I don’t know why. I love the yarn. I love the color. The pattern is intriguing. And yet, I […]

Weird Al Yankovich has struck again. I don’t think I’ve heard him do anything anywhere near this funny in years. Spoofin’ eBay this time, with “The eBay Song.” Be sure to click the Play button so you can hear it, and get the full effect.

Looking back at my photos, it’s apparently been quite a while since I’ve posted an update. Well, time to fix that. I’ve gotten a lot done since the last update, too. I finished the leaf trilogy on the right, as well as the rosehip on the left. All are outlined, too. All that are left […]

Late last week my Mage Winds trilogy showed up. I’ve been buried deep in it ever since. Even spent most of the day yesterday with my nose in the heart of Mercedes Lackey’s Winds of Fate. Ooh, fun. These books are marvelous, and just as fun as the others in the Valdemar set. In fact, […]
