It’s been really cold and snowy here, like much of the country, so I’ve been cooped up, doing indoorsy type crafts (as opposed to outdoorsy type crafts like dyeing, which frankly is not appealing right now). In addition to The World’s Longest Strand of I-cord, I put together something I’ve wanted to do for a [...]

To everyone who advised me to get EA Sports Active, well, I did, it came, and now I can barely move! Note to self – when the 30 Day Challenge tells you to take a rest day, for the love of god, TAKE A REST DAY! Actually, I was intending to yesterday, but [...]

Hola! Been busy with misc. family stuff the past few weeks. Not too much going on around here. Travis and I made about 30 metric tons of Chex Mix in order to have snacks for when we go kayaking, but instead I think I’m just eating it all while playing Morrowind (an [...]

We’re back from DC. It was awesome. We had incredible weather (except for Monday, which was rainy) and walked about 17 million miles while we were there. Travis had his little GPS unit with him while we were walking around, so we’d get back to the hotel at night and see how [...]

Things could be going better. Weird, baddish things seem to keep happening, but it’s slightly comical, so I guess things could be going worse, too. Here’s a list of slight despair, from not-so-bad to worse.
1. I made a big batch of potato pancakes last week that were mediocre to start with, and [...]

I’m still scanning in pics.
I think I’ve exhausted my poor little batch of developer, so I should be back to fibery stuff tomorrow. Also, I got sick of having my kitchen tore up and converted into an impromptu darkroom, so I cleaned everything up so I could cook again instead of relying on cupcakes [...]

I’ve spent the past two days developing about a million rolls of color film. It’s gone really fast, actually, and I’ve had a minimum of FAIL. The next step to this is scanning in the negatives, which takes a while and requires a lot of babysitting the scanner. So, when I haven’t [...]

So, I’m reading the AV Club, as I’m wont to do, and I run across this item about Ben Folds releasing an album of covers – covers of his songs, as performed by various college a capella groups. I guess he ran a contest on YouTube, and picked the people that would appear on [...]

It’s been a fun and exciting few days around here lately, with Sockaholic Katie coming by for a keggle dyeing adventure and me inadvertantly dyeing all the towels in our house pink. Well, not all the towels. But a substantial portion of towels that were not previously of a rosy hue now are. [...]

Dye Day!
Travis and I couldn’t see anything we were doing, due to the steam. So, we had Mystery Dye Day! I’ve got 3 or 4 skeins that I’m still not happy with, but that’s what overdyeing is for. The majority of the yarn came out well, especially considering half of the time [...]
