Well, it must be. I got not one, but two different email messages today from two different companies, proclaiming that crochet is back. Gads. Okay. I’m old enough. I get to say, been there, done that. I was around for all the granny square skirts and funky ponchos in the 1960s. Yes, I remember back […]
All of us over at the original Threads board have gotten really tired of the shenanigans that kept happening over there, so we decided to move it. The next thing was to figure out where to move it. I talked with Dave, and he thought that we should have plenty of room on our server. […]
This week’s questions were suggested by Marie.
Do you ever reread your books? I spent a goodly percentage of my life never re-reading books. Well, except for S. E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, which I read about a bazillion times when I was in junior high. Actually, I read nothing but this book until a “friend” […]
I was over on Margene’s blog just a few minutes ago, and noticed a new—well, new to me—link. Sniff. Yup. I sniff yarn. It goes something like this:
Me: “New yarn. Yum!” As I push my face into the middle of the ball of yarn and breathe deeply.
Dave: “What are you doing?”
Me: “Smelling the yarn.”
Dave: […]
Was it yesterday? Don’t know. Maybe it was the day before. Anyway, one day this week, guess what I got! Yup. The blue June sheep for Project Spectrum. Here the other sheep are saying, “Hello!” Aren’t they adorable? I giggle when I see them all together. :-)
Everything seems normal and fine, and yet, because of Dad, it’s not. Life just seems odd right now. I’m out of sorts. I looked at my blog today, and realized that I never even posted yesterday. It’s noon, and I finally posted today’s question over at Booking Through Thursday. That normally happens much sooner. I […]
Oh, Dad. Daddy. Daddyo. Pop. Pops. Paps. Pappy. Dad. Never “father.” Dad. Today, my mother, your brother, and your sister-in-law, took you up to Mount Diablo, and found the perfect “spot.” Completely legal. Sanctioned. All Is dotted, all Ts crossed. And the perfect place found. On the side of the mountain near home. The mountain […]
I may not have posted about my Kaffe Fasset sweater for a while, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working on it! In fact, I got all of the main pieces knit up at Mom’s house earlier this month, and since then I’ve knit the pockets, the button bands and selvedges, and just […]
I’m not sure what happened to it. I had such plans. I even got up early. But the next thing I knew, poof! It was gone. I didn’t go to the post office. I didn’t go to the grocery store. I didn’t post in my blog.
Most of the afternoon was taken up with the […]
Stitching large
Have you ever used a magnifying glass while stitching? If so, did you find it helpful?
Yup. I sure do. Age is rearing it’s ugly head, and I can no longer focus on small little things like I could when I was younger. It sucks. But, I have my handy-dandy magnifying glass, and I use […]
