This post is just because I can! And – because I have a few photos to share … I’ve been a busy beading-ninja! I’m working on bracelets and pins/pendants and wire-wrapping, OH MY! Here are a couple of bracelets – one done and one a work-in-progress: And, SHHHHHH – don’t tell anyone, but I’m …
I’m still a knitting-maniac while I wait not-so-patiently to be feeling better. Here are my latest quick-knit projects. And, I tried my hand at chainmaille (jewelry style, of course) … I like it. So, I’ve been surfing for much needed supplies and equipment (cuz I have too much time on my hands)! I’m …
In between narcotic-induced drooling naps, I’m a knitting maniac. Here is my finished hat and cowl – don’t you love the model? (Lea Cloche by C Glowik MacDonald and Drop Stitch Cowl in Sausalito by S Drucing) I had my surgery. BTW, ‘partial mastectomy with bilateral reconstruction’ is cutter (surgery) code for PAIN. I don’t …
Lost heat out in the studio. Darn too-small propane tank anyway! I’ve talked to DH about getting a real (house sized) one out there … maybe now is the time. It’s a balmy 44 degrees in there right now. Without water (drained the pipes in preparation for Snowmageddon). Of course! I have 3 custom orders …
We lost power on Saturday. Repair estimate had us getting electricity on Christmas night at 1130pm. So, I had started to wrap my head around embracing what I would officially call the ‘Dark Christmas’ … I was excited about the prospect of ZERO cooking (watch out Taco Bell, here we come). But, unlike many of …
News from the den: All are doing great. Eyes and ears are open, we’re moving into gruel, and starting to cruise around in the whelping box. We had a photo-shoot, and while there are so many adorable pictures to choose from … I chose these. I love the James Brown-esque-ness of the last photo. Can’t …
WWU: Someone decided it would be a good idea to have me as acting charge nurse this past weekend … WTH?!? Such a silly notion! But we got through, and outside of a huge THANK YOU to my co-workers, I have nothing more to report. [My therapist thinks just a few more sessions required to …
Darn that Pinterest, anyway … It’s devil’s-spawn, I tell you. Stumbled on a knitting pattern that caught my eye … so, now I’m knitting it. Here’s the creator’s pattern link, and here’s what I’ve got going so far: If you’re an avid knitter – you’ll catch my mistake early on, but if not (like DH) …
Of course it’s starting now(!) … My Neapolitan Mastiff mom has started stage one of labor – on Saturday, when I have to go to work. And – WE were going to see the new Batman movie … but now, ‘Fatty’ and I are pacing, heavy breathing, repositioning and pacing some more while the rest …
DH is out manning the tractor, cutting hay … The kids are in school, for a few more days before they wrap up another academic year – and Summer break begins … I can hear the bickering now. But for today, it’s just me and the dogs, as we sit, enjoying the sunshine, quiet and …
