Let's Play A Little Game

Thursday, 30 June 2005 7:58 A GMT-05
I wore this necklace yesterday and got lots of compliments, but nobody could figure out what it was. Can you? It's obvious to me, but then I made it, so it should be, right? This necklace is one of my earlier pieces; it's maybe 10-12 years old at t

Sweaty Week Ahead

Monday, 27 June 2005 10:22 A GMT-05
...and a sweaty weekend behind me. Ugh. We get a few nice days and then the humidity comes back to remind us that it's summer. My weekend was busy as well as uncomfortably warm. On Friday afternoon, Neal and I drove to Columbia to meet Melinda

Two for the Price of One!

Wednesday, 22 June 2005 11:59 A GMT-05
Lucky you, you get two entries today for the price of just one admission! I dragged my sorry ass downstairs to see what Neal had available for lunch, and I found a package from my Secret Pal 5!! Look at the wonderfulness: a knitting diary, with pla

Wednesday Wooziness

Wednesday, 22 June 2005 10:15 A GMT-05
Look at our tomato babies!! Aren't they cute? I'm so happy to have tomatoes and herbs growing on the porch again, after last year's nightmare with the cicada infestation that kept me indoors until July (ohhh...the stench of rotting bodies!!). I thi

What a Headache!

Tuesday, 21 June 2005 8:13 A GMT-05
I had fully intended to go to work this morning, but when my face hurt to the touch when I was putting on my make-up, I decided my icepick headache was reason enough to stay home. And here I am, still headachy, full of caffeine and aspirin. I shoul

Exhausted

Monday, 20 June 2005 7:44 A GMT-05
Whew...I am really tired this morning. I spent much of the weekend cooking for Father's Day. Somehow, stupid me thought it would be *easier* if I made dinner and invited Dad over, rather than do the usual thing and struggle to find a restaurant and

I've Been Remiss....

Thursday, 16 June 2005 7:54 A GMT-05
...in my blogging. But I figure that it's summer, and there are better things to do, so fewer folks are reading. At least some folks have better things to do. (Jill I can hear you yawning from here!) And I've been having far too much fun with my li

Weekends Aren't Long Enough

Monday, 13 June 2005 7:41 A GMT-05
Good Monday, everyone :) You may ask, "why is she so damned cheery this morning?" Honestly, I don't know why myself. I can't actually say I am cheery. Sleepy, perhaps. Full of myself - that too. To the right is a picture of my payment for de

D'oh!

Thanks to Lolly for reminding me to mention that I did win Caryn's banner contest! I've been on a roll lately (with butter)! And with the mentions on both Caryn's and Gracie's blogs, I got a record 135 hits on Wednesday (but still too few comments)

Hot Stuff

Bleah. I hate Baltimore summers. I am thankful that we had a nice May, with mostly cool temps. But now it's June and the humidity is upon is with a vengence. Yesterday's bus trip home was sure a yummy experience - in a brand new bus with broken A

Tuesday is for Tabla (what I am listening to as I blog)

Jill commented when she read my blog yesterday that I had not posted a photo of her birthday present. True, but I didn't want to spill the beans before she actually received it! So here it is: a carved bone plaque in the form of frolicking sea turt

A New Project

Monday, 6 June 2005 11:59 A GMT-05
I started a new project this weekend. Can anyone guess what it is? The yarn is SWTC Bamboo in the "Parrot" colorway - I really like this yarn! I also have some SWTC Phoenix (soy silk) in the "Napa Valley" colorway, but I figure

Drumroll Please...

The moment we have all been waiting for - ta dah! The Mutant, in all her glory! You will see that she looks very different from the original Bella; I made her longer, with solid sleeves and a seed stitch border instead of a ruffle. I don't know how
