This is a smaller group from the spinning guild, that meets to try out and discuss different breeds, preparation methods etc. This month’s project was icelandic wool. The packets we were [...]

Thank you so much for your ipod suggestions. I think I have figured it out, but I could probably stand to finesse it somewhat. For instance, I have subscribed to the NY Times front page podcast. Do I have to manually update this feed everyday and then manually drop it into my playlist, or will [...]

For her 16th birthday, D#2 received an ipod upgrade. She is thrilled. And I received her ipod castoff – her lime green mini ipod. I have spent the past six hours (at least!) trying to figure this damn thing out. So far I have accidentally ripped the wire from one set of ear phones fought [...]

Kimono Shawl Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle yarn: Zephry I really thought I would have lots more done on this by the time I took this picture. I thought I would awe and amaze you all with my progress. That your jaws would go slack and your mind would boggle. I thought you would then [...]

I will be away at a horse show with D#2 for the week. Those of you who know me, know how much I hate the thought of it. It is a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’, getting up before dawn to get to the showgrounds to sit around for endless, endless hours. In the [...]

Witness the magnificence that is my pantry! The Boar and I worked all weekend on the pantry and our linen closet. Both were emptied (no easy feat with the pantry) the existing shelving ripped out, painted, reshelved and restocked. I keep going in there just to gaze upon my larder. I love my larder.

Here’s what has happened since I hit the publish button on that entry yesterday …. D#2 left early in the morning to compete in a horse show. D#1 arrived via Jet Blue to surprise her sister. We start preparations for the surprise party we are throwing for her later that evening. I also start praying [...]

She loves reading and has written a trilogy. She’s sweet & fun to be around. She knits! check out this cool birthday calculator via [...]
