Randomness and knitting
Look at the contentment of a knitter. Here’s Josey waiting for his sister’s birthday party to get underway. In a house full of gameboys, comics, books, and movies that my child chooses knitting. Sweet. And speaking of games. Darling husband decided that I should have a Nintendo DS lite, and Pokémon Pearl to go along [...]
WP updated, archives fixed & socks knit
I did that. I also made donuts, fry bread and crullers because I’m so talented. The socks are really nothing special, I’m pretty boring as socks go. Pink merino handspun, size 1 dpns, and a few evenings. They are a little baggy, but soft and comfy. Updating the blog and fixing the archives was a [...]
Hmm wax..
Wax, I have wax! I spent most of Saturday cleaning and laying out protective layers of things (like Seran wrap and newspaper) onto surfaces that needed protection, then cleaned jars while my fresh wax melted. Most of the candles are the baby-food jar kind. I like them for two reasons; they ship well, and there [...]
I share my craft fair wisdom with you

Confessions of a housewife
Eve is hosting the Confessions of a Housewife Carnival over at her blog. It’s a small yet tasty blog carnival and the first one that I’ve ever joined. My confession is that I love being a mom and housewife, it’s the job that I was born to do, and it’s great– my big fear is [...]
Cow abductions are real
Cow abductions are serious business, don’t be fooled– first the aliens will take a few cows and when bored with bovines they will take our sheep. Don’t let this happen, lets stop those bad aliens before they threaten our wool supply. I am seriously craving a jumbo flyer for my Traveller wheel. I have four [...]
Mail Day!
Mail day! Opal aka the AkamaiKnitter sent me some goodies! The teal green wool is amazing to spin, and I’m looking forward to breaking into those cookies and candies after the kidlets go to bed. Well of course Opal deserves a good mail day too so among her stuff will be enough silk yarn to [...]
