New phone

Sunday, July 16, 2006

We have Cingular for our cell phone service. Have had for a long time now, as they’re the only ones that have a tower on this side of our hill. Got a thing in the mail this week. Because of system upgrades, they want to replace the sim card in our phones (free). They’ll even […]

Winding

Friday, July 14, 2006

The skin tone in the hand is still fairly dark, however there is a lot more depth to the color now. Instead of those stitches being all one color, there are probably eight different colors. I am much happier. Now I’m content to let the colors unfold, see how they look when more of the […]

Perfection

Thursday, July 13, 2006

This is the first of hopefully a lot of wonderful booking meme questions that I didn’t have to fuss about, because Deb did. Thank you, sweetie! P.S. I’m looking forward to answering the questions you have lined up for next week, too. It’s fun having inside information, and knowing what they’re going to be!

What is […]

A touch of purple

Thursday, July 13, 2006

I think I must have mentioned at some point that my maternal grandmother’s favorite color was purple. She decorated her living room around her love of purple—though her decorator wouldn’t let her do the entire room in that color, yes huge thanks are due to that decorator. Grandma also had a few other purple bits […]

Fur-baby

This is one of Ricki’s, “What are you doing?” looks. She’s known I was in the room for several minutes. Heard me turn on the camera. This is the second or third shot I’ve taken of her, and she’s hardly twitched an ear. But I got down on her level, so she had to peek […]

Out with June
I was digging around in my stash yesterday, looking for purple yarns and found tons of blue ones. I was going to do a blue yarn pile for you in June, but never got around to it. So here you go. Lots of lovely blues. I have more, too. This pile is made […]

Stitching habits

Wednesday, July 12, 2006

This week’s SBQ was suggested by Carol and is:
Since you started blogging, have you noticed any difference in your stitching habits? Tell us about them.
I really don’t know. I started a HAED since then, but don’t know if that’s more attributable to blogging or my board. Oh, one thing, I have decided to count the […]

Answers

I’ve gotten a lot of wonderful comments from folks lately. As to answering some of them, let’s see…

Yes, Jenna, I’d love to do something with all of this yarn, but… I only make socks out of machine washable wool—lazy me—and I need money more than non-washable socks. Alas. Even so, I don’t know if I’ll […]

Stone Patch yarn

Monday, July 10, 2006

I still don’t have a new photo for you, but that’s because the sweater doesn’t really look much different than the last time you saw it, though I did get a little work done on it on Saturday. I took it over to my neighbor’s house (much cooler than mine) to work on while we […]
