Over a year

2009-10-01T21:34:46Z

I started exploring other blogging platforms a couple years ago. Last summer (July 2008) I settled on Wordpress for a food-specific blog that I started and then in October I decided to start posting my crafting adventures there as well. Clearly ...

finally finished

2008-08-28T21:43:47Z

It seems I've taken to posting monthly. I will need to work on being better about that. I finally finished sewing my bag of the summer -- just days before September. I started it way back in June, about a week before my vacation; but about 2/3 ...

Socks in just under a year

2008-07-28T00:09:51Z

According to my Ravelry project page I started these Charade Socks in August 2007. Yikes. That said, socks are my whenever-on-going-travel project and so do not get high priority in the knitting queue most of the time. And I had to knit about 2...

I'm alive

2008-07-09T21:36:23Z

It has been almost a month. I've composed several blog posts in my head, but haven't gotten around to posting them. And now I'm approaching the task of rebuilding my iPhoto library due to a hard drive crash & burn. I have back-ups, albeit, not ...

a couple randoms

2008-06-12T07:00:25Z

A cat has started meowing around our house (it even tried to dart in the door when I went outside one day). Dog is going nuts-- absolutely bonkers trying to get the cat. Which means every so often we hear a loud crash that indicates our dog's he...

eating seasonally

2008-06-04T05:58:37Z

Fauxmiddlechild alerted me to the existence of Epicurious's Seasonal Ingredient Map. It seems pretty cool, although it isn't quite matching what I'm actually seeing at the Farmer's Market. For example swiss chard isn't listed, and supposedly Was...

An Abundance of Chard (and words)

2008-06-02T20:13:58Z

A few notes on food The post was getting too long so now it is just about chard. And hopping onto the chard bandwagon. In the past few days I've seen mentions of chard on Finny Knits and Domicile - and these blogs are in my non-food folder of B...

Recycling center

2008-05-22T00:42:49Z

For the past 9 years I've lived in places where I do not have curbside recycling pick-up. Luckily I've always had access to a recycling center of some sort. However many recycling centers/containers are designed for those with curbside pickup. ...

Fears

2008-05-22T00:30:46Z

I have a lot of fears. And they keep me from far too much too often. Okay, that sounds a little drastic, and it isn't quite that drastic. In college I used to joke that I had a high sense of self-preservation when I wouldn't jaywalk across the ...

FO: Pajama Pants take 1

2008-04-22T20:45:18Z

Okay, so these are the pajama pants that caused so much grief, the pants from Butterick pattern 6837. I am even showing the photo that makes the fly flap fiasco (see the small pleat?) and the grain-line fiasco visible. The problems could be th...
