Friday Fill-Ins

Friday Fill-Ins #161 1. Wouldn’t it be easy if I could close my eyes, click my heels, and get to where I want to go? 2. Now that I’ve quit smoking, I feel better than ever! 3. I love the taste of real whipped cream – not the stuff from the can. 4. If I’m on my laptop, I [...]

FO: Adaptation

Right now I’m participating in a KAL (knit-a-long) on the NHKnittingMama group on Ravelry.  Amanda is amazing … such a friendly person, and the yarn she dyes is equally wonderful.  I had decided to knit Caricia, from Knit Spot.  I love Anne Hanson’s patterns and this shawl really caught my eye.  I ordered my yarn from Amanda [...]

Manic Monday

Manic Monday #198 If you could only have one section of the bookstore to visit, which section would it be? Probably the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section.  I know, some of you are thinking, “What about the craft section?”  I understand.  But really, I can get patterns online, but there is nothing like the feel of a real [...]

Tech – NO!

I’m not the world’s most tech savvy person.  Seriously … I probably don’t do anything more with my laptop than blog, surf the web, store photos, and use I-Tunes.  Still, so much of my life is on the internet.  It’s how I stay in touch with most of my friends and family.  I have all of [...]

Friday Fill-In #159 1. The lesson I learned yesterday was technology hates me. 2. The kitchen is where friends and family meet. 3. All these years and one would think I would have learned by now. 4. The staff were all very helpful at Best Buy when I arrived. 5. The truth is I can’t [...]

Jet Setting Scarf Swap

**ETA:  I’ve changed the name of the swap due to the fact that, since the nice lady who runs the SwapDex blog emailed me about posting a blurb about my swap over their, that more people might read about it.  One of those people might be a mod from the main “Traveling Scarf Swap” on [...]
