Wow. Yarn is really expensive. I think I'll be making the most expensive afghan ever, but if it helps me forget about the headaches, it will be worth it. In any case, it's going to be gorgeous. I'm using these hand-painted, ombre-effect yarns from Baah in shades of green, blue, and purple. The colors are incredibly saturated, which I love. If you' ( Read more... )

I'm having some minor anxiety problems, no doubt partially caused by the emotional stuff that's been coming up (as described in other recent entries in this journal), but also probably caused by the fact that my mouth is hurting ( Read more... )

Took a photo of myself today at the bus stop on Telegraph to document Shiny New Post-Surgery Kimberly Without Glasses (A.K.A. Kimberly With Uncontrollably Bushy Hair That's Growing Out Of A Short Haircut):

Did I mention that a guy at CWC wants to buy my elephant collage? I know he's on disability & has limited funds, so I suggested $50 as a price. The collage probably took me 15-20 hours to make, so $50 isn't a "working wage," but I'm glad someone will be enjoying my art ( Read more... )

I'm having an amazing day today. Even the things that weren't exciting and cheerful made me feel good because I was getting stuff done. So far, my day has gone like this ( Read more... )

I'm having a strange post-Cobweb day. I'm still feeling disconcerted, off balance, uncertain, shellshocked, and so I'm continuing to treat myself. I figure I won't continue on with this extravagance too long -- I mean, I'm eating really unhealthily, all comfort foods -- but a couple days to bounce back doesn't seem unreasonable. So I'm cutting ( Read more... )

I went to the writing group at CWC today for the first time in almost 3 months, and it was great. Everyone wrote really interesting pieces, and we talked about them, and I enjoyed writing and sharing my stuff again. I'm tentatively planning to go more often ( Read more... )
