Cat or dog?

Friday, July 28, 2006

I saw this on Renée’s blog, and thought I’d play. Haven’t done one for a while, and I love the picture.

You Are: 30% Dog, 70% Cat

You and cats have a lot in common.
You’re both smart and in charge—with a good amount of attitude.
However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out!

Never run with scissors

Friday, July 28, 2006

Many of us have a few pairs of embroidery scissors and some even have a collection. How many pairs of scissors do you have? Feel free to share a photo of your favorite pair or pairs with us!

You see here the only two pairs of embroidery scissors that I own. I think. It’s possible […]

Making up for lost time

Thursday, July 27, 2006

Can you tell that I missed blogging yesterday? Between not having time, and Blogger being down when I did have time, I didn’t get any posts in yesterday at all. Without further ado, here’s another one!
On friends
At the very end of May a friend that I used to work with here in southern California, […]

Web sites

Thursday, July 27, 2006

We interrupt this blog for a shameless plug:
Dave got a contract recently for a new web site. It’s done now and online. I told him I’d share. We got this site up in about a month, including waiting for text. Not too bad. It’s for a company called United Wheel Techs. They invented a machine […]

Sunset

Thursday, July 27, 2006

Last night’s sunset was so gorgeous I had to share it with you. We rarely get such a colorful sky. I love how the colors of the sky reflected off of peoples’ roofs.
By the way, please excuse the angle. I was reaching out the window with the camera in one hand, trying to get as […]

Ringing

Thursday, July 27, 2006

Have you read Lord of the Rings? Sure have.
If so, how many times have you read it? Just once? Or so many you can’t count? Neither. I’ve read it twice. I found the book, The Hobbit, when
I was in junior high. Loved it. The Lord of the Rings must have been lent to someone […]

Knitting stuff

Stone Patch… nearly there
We spent Sunday afternoon at a friends’ house. Friends, Marc and JoAnn, who willingly shared their air conditioning with us. I took Stone Patch along, just in case it was cool enough to work on it. It was. It was cool enough, that is, to have a big, thick, wool sweater on […]

Ready, set, rotate

Monday, July 24, 2006

The last couple times I picked up Winding the Skeins, I didn’t get much done. I felt listless and out of sorts. Once I decided to start Stepsisters and got going, I got a ton done. True to form, I started at the top left corner of the design. I got all those lovely green […]

Saturday sky

Monday, July 24, 2006

I know. I know. I was supposed to post this picture on Saturday. Well, I didn’t. And since I know myself, I’m not going to join the ring, though you will get an occasional sky shot out of me.
