As far as I’m concerned, Berroco’s really been striking out lately. What’s with this poncho with cuffs thing, anyway? I’d like to see it with the model doing something useful with her hands. Or does she have to walk around with them down like that in order for the thing to hang right at all? […]
… we were on vacation! Woohoo! It was loverly being away. Dave and I talked about it before we left—except for two funerals (me), and one funeral and one business trip (him), this was the first time in a year that we’d gotten away. At all. Yes, it was way too short. But it was […]
I saw this on both Kim’s and Melissa’s blogs this morning. I find my results wildly funny. I’m a third-generation Californian, never lived anywhere but in this state, at least not long enough to make a difference to the way I sound.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

A little catching up…
Mary wants to know—
Do you keep a list of books to read? I haven’t until recently. Instead of posting about this before I went on vacation, I started a list of books I want to read but don’t own.
Where do you keep your list (computer, PDA, paper, etc.)? So far I have […]
No. I know. Sweatering isn’t a word. But maybe it should be. I dunno. Hey Deb, Whatcha been doing lately? Sweatering. Says it all, doesn’t it? To find out more about my sweatering, you need to visit the Red Sweater KAL.
Errant
In the meantime, no, I haven’t been making much progress on the socks. […]
When I was at Mom’s house in June she gave me an old photograph of Dad and me. Some of you may remember it. I posted it here. I was four when this picture was taken, and we’d lived in the house I grew up in for only about six months—we’re looking out the living […]
I met my friend Rebecca quite a few years ago when I lived in San Francisco. I had this friend Margaret, who had a sister who also lived in San Francisco. Margaret’s sister and Rebecca were friends. The sister was looking for people to volunteer time to help out at a triathlon that was happening […]
This week’s SBQ was suggested by Jan and is:
How many different brands of complete embroidery floss sets do you
own? How do you keep track of it? (i.e., spread sheet program, index
cards, palm pilot, etc.)
Except for odd bits here and there of other things, I only have DMC floss. I almost have a complete set, but […]
I have to share this with you. Dave sent it to me saying only, Check this kid out. So I did. You should, too. He’s blind, you see, and his mother’s attitude gave him a gift that he has taken to heart.
Blind teen video.
Have to add… There was an advertisement before the main show. […]
I got a newsletter from Just Nan late last night, they have a new limited edition Whimsey design out just in time for Christmas, called Tie One On. As with her other limited edition designs, it was only made available to a small number of shops. I like it. It’s cute. Like the other Whimsey […]
