I was so thrilled to start this ... and so nervous. I spend far too much time on the Ugly FO board on Ravelry. I've seen some clothing that had a lot of time and thought put into them and came out just dreadful. I didn't want to end up in that camp. So I turned to noevilliveon and asked what she thought of the pattern and the yarn combo. Having a second ( Read more... )

As is becoming the habit I remembered the night before fighter practice that Miss Kid's current shirt was too small for her. So she and I threw fabric down in the living room and started cutting. Using only the most basic of measurements we ended up with something rather large on her, which was perfect as I know she's going to grow. She asked for ( Read more... )

Stopped by Payless last night as Sunday my only pair of light colored sandals decided to fall apart. I grew up going to Payless because they were reasonably priced and carried fairly decent looking stock ( Read more... )

I have terrible circulation. My hands and feet are constantly cold, extremely so in the winter time. As such I have collected many fuzzy socks to wear. dragons_grin has teased me by calling them skinned muppets. My totally mature response was to stick my tongue out at him.

I love my fuzzy socks. They're fun and soft and quirky. And yet ... my feet are still ( Read more... )

I'll start with the bad so I can get it out of the way.

Wii:
The Wii will no longer power on. Given that this is the only way I've managed to consistantly work out and thus curb some of the chronic pain I live with. The problem is that I know excersize is supposed to work but for me it doesn't start working until nearly a whole month is behind you ( Read more... )

Picking yarn is hard! I've been looking around for a couple of suitable suggestions for about 3 different projects for friends. So far I might have a couple of ideas but I'm much pickier when I'm suggesting for other people. If I mess up I feel bad, if it's just for me I don't feel as bad. I'm way too much of a perfectionist sometimes.

For my book ( Read more... )

Yesterday was pretty good. I got my tips mailed off and hopefully I'll hear back from that soon. I stopped in at Michael's and thanks to sorchawench (I know it really 'is' all her fault *wink*) they didn't have the double pointed needles that I needed. All the other sizes but no 7s. I was close to buying some gorgeous yarn that was on clearance because it ( Read more... )

Why am I suddenly going through this whole Girl Thing(tm) of "Having Nothing to Wear"?

Really? I've never been this bad and the last couple of days I've changed my mind at least 3 times each morning while trying to get dressed.

*sigh*

I think I need more clothes ... or I need to go back to staying at home wearing nothing at all.

Birthday:
Belated birthday wishes to both rheyamorgaine and nursemae! I hope your day was wonderful and the coming year brings both of you nothing but health, happiness and hope ( Read more... )

Welcome:
Welcome to new readers jewelisdesigns and enlyyl!

Weekend:
Friday apisanthrop and Miss Kid came home early since she wasn't feeling well, though she was feeling better after some time in a cool environment and a bit of a rest. I suspect that because they had field day that day she'd just had a bit too much time in the sun and got a bit overheated. We ran off to Wal- ( Read more... )
