We went to go see They Might Be Giants again, this time playing a kids show in Columbus. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew went, too, so that was fun. I mean, it has to be fun when this much confetti is involved, right?
Weirdly, we were allowed to take pictures and videos inside the [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted – it didn’t seem that long, but I think I just got caught up in the annual flurry of Christmas knitting that happens (Must… knit… SOCKS!!!). I’ve been on a mini-hiatus of sorts from the shop, because I’ve been in really productive mode lately (re: knitting [...]

So here’s some insanely bright mohair yarn that I dyed.
I think I shall name this yarn “OMG! MOHAIR! KITTENZ! RAAAAINBOW POOPS!’ Or something like that. The weather has been nice the past week, so I’ve gotten a bunch of dyeing done. I should have a shop update sometime later [...]

I bought some Mexican cocoa tea stuff at Whole Foods a while back. I didn’t realize it had anise in it. I’ve tried it both hot and cold now, and it still tastes foul to me. I think I’m just going to pitch the rest of it. What is wrong with [...]

I’ve finally shaken off the malaise that I’ve had since coming home from vacation and am back to doing crafty things. It’s been nice. This morning I dyed some yarn for the shop, which has been neglected for the past month. Don’t be sad, little Etsy shop! I will soon refill [...]

The past week or so has been filled with construction! drama! The original guy that we had working on our porch expansion got a job with actual paychecks and benefits and everything, so he kind of had to take it, leaving us, unfortunately, with just a suggestion of a deck in our yard. [...]

Okay, I lied. I wound up doing a mini-update today in the shop. I combed out some roving balls last night and felt like putting them up, and I had some leftover skeins from the last time I dyed, so I put them online today. Incidentally, this set of balls:
…wound up killing [...]

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 [...]

I’m (obviously) not the biggest fan of Karl Rove, but this still made me laugh.
Made cookies the other day with my leftover egg whites. They turned out to taste like faintly lemon-flavored Nilla Wafers. They’re kind of sticky, too. I just smashed some together with ice cream in the middle and stuck [...]

First of all, I was going to do a shop update tonight, but waited until after my light got all crappy so I couldn’t color-edit my photos correctly. Like this may or may not be what the yarn actually looks like!
Who can say? Not me! So, I’ll do it all tomorrow. [...]
