It's the lastest version of the custom yarn builder from Yarnia, Inc, which is a yarn store in Portland, OR that I like.  (I have worked online with the owner before, and I've visited the shop while in the area.)  It is awesome ( Read more... )

Awesome bifecta today! Groupon is 50% off at Petsi Pies and LivingSocial is 50% off at The Garment District! Mmmm, pie and costuming.

Tonight, I retire a backpack that has been with me almost as long as my LJ has.After six years of constant use, the loss of multiple drawstring closures, the rips of multiple pockets, being stolen and found, moving halfway across the country, flying all the way across the country... it is time to say goodbye to an old friend ( Read more... )
