Where have I been??

Here. Go and see – you may never come back. Just remember who sent you …..

Ravelry is a new website and I think it is fabulous. If you read this blog for the knitting (snort – yes, I did hear how that sounded, and yes, coffee just came out of my nose) you are going to love Ravelry – I will let Jess and Casey, the brilliant creators explain just what exactly Ravelry is …..

“Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, and dyers to keep track of their yarn and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration.

The content here is user- driven; we as a community make the site what it is. The Yarn Harlot wrote recently about Representing, showing the world the power of our community, and I believe that on this site we can really show the strength of our numbers and the depth of our creativity.

So what can you personally do on Ravelry? You can talk about your own projects, integrate that information into your personal website and contribute to someone else’s project a world away.

If you are not a blogger, we give you a great way to share and show off your projects, participate in -alongs, and socialize with other crafters. If you are a blogger than Ravelry is the perfect complement to your online journal; it provides structure and organization. All of your information is easy to enter and easy to find. You will not need to update your own FO album again- it is all here on Ravelry!”

So go ahead and check it out, sign up, or if they haven’t opened the sign up yet, then request an invite!

just remember who gave you the pigs, we’ll always have that won’t we?

The Feast of Swine is moving into the kitchen. This is the hutch, we will begin there.

Two pigs today since there were none yesterday. I was still in Florida when I wrote that entry and did not have access to my porkers.

So, here are two new pigs in my collection. The picture on the left is one that Cara gave me. Although when you hear the story, it’s really more from Georgie! So the two of them were on a vacation in California. They were driving down the highway and passed that road sign. My Georgie said, “Hey did you see that??!!” and then he said that I had to have it, he swung the car around in a very sexy, yet dangerous driving maneuver, he drove back to the sign and forced Cara to take a picture of it. ~sigh~ at least that’s how I think it happened.

The one on the right is a recent Ebay win. It was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. I haven’t settled on where to hang it, so for now it is resting on a table in the hallway.

It is back to reality. The cupboards are bare so grocery shopping is an absolute must. Thanks for all the comments yesterday – Miss Niece is loving the attention!
