I went, I waited, I was sent home.
That’s pretty much how my day of jury duty went yesterday. Because I’m self-employed, and my employer, tight-fisted thing that she is doesn’t pay me for 10 days of jury duty, I managed to escape two different trials that were in need of jurors yesterday. That part […]
Decision made. I’m not going to submit this sweater pattern anywhere. There’s a little something else I have in mind that I think I will submit… So, you get to see what I knit last week! Yup. The basic design plan, and all the knitting for my sample sweater took ten days—including weaving in the […]
I’ve been tagged. Not just by one person, but by two. For the same meme. I know it’s taken me a while to get back to you, Christina and Angela, but I finally have. Thank you both very much for thinking of me! Here are the rules:
Link to your tagger and post the rules on […]
In a continuing effort to clear out the WIPs so that I can start something new, and at the same time to bring a smile of joy to my husband’s face, I’ve been working a lot on the socks for him. The knitting’s going pretty quickly so far. We’re both pleased with the results. The […]
On tea
On Tuesday my friend Denise came over to help me try these tea blooms that I got from Christina for the first tea swap on Ravelry.
I got out a couple of cappuccino bowls to give the tea plenty of room to grow, and boiled up some water. When we took the tea buds […]
It must be that time of the month again. It’s a lot harder to tell than it used to be. I mean, without, you know, those obvious signs. All I have to go by is my mood. And I’m feeling blah. I’m in the doldrums. I’m bored with the second Monkey sock. No. That’s not […]
Flowers and veggies
Anne’s garden is growing like a weed. Hers gets that stuff that falls from the sky… I’m not quite sure what it is. She calls it rain. Rain? Hm. I have to use a hose to give water to my plants, and mine are in pots, not the ground, so are encumbered, but […]
Weekend things
Dave got a bee in his bonnet this weekend. He decided that he’s tired of people parking on our stand-up sprinklers and breaking them, so planned on moving them to the back edge of the top of the garden, instead of the front edge of it. He started digging to find where the lines […]
I may not have said anything for a few days (or so) about the green shawl, but I have been knitting away at it. I’ve completed 88 rows so far, and I think I’m finally getting into the swing of things. Since the faggoting changes directions at the midpoint in the shawl, as well as […]
It feels like it’s been practically forever since I’ve blogged! Blame it on QuickBooks. I think, however, that except for the dreaded PayPal account, I have everything entered, and all accounts reconciled. Whew. I’ll tackle the PayPal beast another day. I can make no sense of their totals. Things that apparently clear the account on […]
