I thought that the RSS feed would automatically update with the new domain mapping, but I see that isn’t the case. I also need to figure out why my archived pictures didn’t make the transfer. I added an RSS feed button to my side bar. After I got it all set up, I saw that [...]

I spent most of yesterday tinkering around with WordPress. I managed to import my entries from Typepad. I have been keeping this blog since 2003 and did not realize just how many entries that would be. So I also spent a good deal of time categorizing the uncategorized (which is not necessary, just something I [...]

Border Leicester Originally uploaded by purlingswine My morning spinning routine is paying off. I have managed to spin and ply another of last year’s Rhinebeck purchases! In my mind this will free me up for some guilt free spending at the festival this year. Last year I had a strategy to try and break out [...]
a little change

did you see Virginia’s new place? doesn’t it look fabulous? I am overcome with jealousy. My blog has been boring me lately (and I can imagine what a yawn it is for you!) so I thought that a little change might be a good thing. WordPress is much more user friendly than I thought it [...]

My blog is worth $17,500.74. How much is your blog worth? so I was feeling pretty cocky and rich with this result. That is until I plugged in Cara’s URL, then Vicki’s URL ……… dammit, my plans for bloggy dominion seem to have run afoul. [thanks Anita!]

I spent yesterday sitting and spinning in the great outdoors. It was the Smithtown Historical Society’s Heritage Festival and our spinning guild was asked to demonstrate. What a fun day and what a great festival! They had tractor pulls – all of these antique John Deere tractors pulling, or trying to, massive cement blocks. The [...]

thank goodness Vicki posted this quiz today. I think I’ve taken this one before but with a different result. So, should we both be insulted – it’s saying that I’m unwell, but that you’re shallow ……. ??!! harumph. I have been filling in at Granny’s Yarn Shop this week – she’s having a big sale [...]

I haven’t been in a bloggy mood and here are some reasons why: first and foremost – it is hot and humid and I am a cranky bitch. I am working on a secret project and can only post about it on Ravelry. I will put a more recent picture up there tomorrow. I have [...]
where’s my marble notebook?

Ack!! It’s hot & humid again!! Even this guy looks a little sick of the summer scene. He seems weary with that one pathetic little marigold who doesn’t seem to know that the party is over. Lots of things are afoot around here. Subterfuge and Harriet the Spy stuff! I am sure you have all [...]
