Hello! I’m back. Back from our 3+ week long epic vacation out West. It was the longest vacation we’ve ever taken, and it was a lot of fun, except when campgrounds in Colorado suddenly started sucking, at which point we just turned south and went to New Mexico instead.
During the [...]

W! A-S-H! I-N-G! T-O-N, Baby! D-C!
Posted in Dyeing, Family, Kayak, Pets, Photography, Travel on Apr 26th, 2009
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 [...]
So, we survived Christmas! Hooray! I’m not saying that we all survived with our dignity intact, however…
Poor Wee Bay.
We went to Indiana and did our typical travelling Christmas. Spent time with my family up by South Bend. It was quite a pretty drive, since everything was still coated with ice.
The weather [...]
Wisconsin Fiber Blogging Part 2
Posted in Dyeing, etsy, Family, Pets, Random, Travel on Oct 25th, 2008
I think I am finally, after about a week, getting back into the hang of being at home. Our organization situation has improved. It’s not ideal, yet, but I think within a few weeks we’ll have all of the shelving in place. As is, it’s a hell of a lot better than [...]
(Caution – long post ahead)
I’ve been slogging through House Recovery the past few days. Travis finally went to work this morning, and I spent the rest of the day condensing materials and trying to find homes for stuff. There’s a lot of work left to be done.
This is a (really crappy) picture I [...]
I just noticed one of the search terms used to find this site is “Dyeing yarn with avocado pits.” Uh, no? I’ve not tried that, but now am very curious… Tricia, check that out for me, will you?
Anyway, did the first big, pre-vacation yarn update at the shop. [...]
Of houseguests and mislaid plans
Posted in Dyeing, etsy, Family, Food, Pets, Random, Travel, Yarn on Sep 22nd, 2008
So, as has been the case recently, I’ve been a bit MIA. The blame for this lies in a week’s worth of misadvantures in computing. First, when the remnants of Ike swept through, we lost power for an evening (no big deal), and lost our cable (we have cable internet) for 2-3 days. That was [...]
Hola! Fueled by breaded cheese sticks and jelly beans, I’m back from my hiatus. When I say hiatus, what I really mean is “2 weeks of solid Olympic watching followed by 1 week of road trip to see the fam, and, oh yeah, going to Stitches Midwest and spending a ton of money there and [...]
I woke up this morning with a colossally huge headache. It’s my own fault. I go off and on from not drinking any caffeine to having one or two pops a day, and that causes it. I’m not too keen on ingesting things with high fructose corn syrup (because I think that’s [...]
Marshmallows are the bacon of the desert world
Posted in Family, Food, Pets, Politics, Sewing, Travel on Jun 16th, 2008
As I’ve often mentioned on this blog, my family loves food. We are foodies, and proud of it. We are the people sitting across from you at restaurants, taking pictures of our dinner. We are the people who linger in the cheese department, carefully weighing the pros and cons of buying a [...]
